There is an old saying that goes something along the lines of “April showers bring May flowers.” While this is generally a principle that holds true, in the photography world, it is also the time when things start really hopping. Below is a list of just some of the activities that drive the photography industry as we move into late Spring and early Summer:
- Wedding season kicks into high gear (wedding photographers)
- High school and college graduation parties are scheduled (which is great for portrait photographers)
- Engagements are announced (with anticipation of #1 the following year) (portrait photographers again)
- Family portraits are planned in conjunction with all of the above (portrait photographers yet again)
- A new season of sports swings into gear such as baseball, soccer, lacrosse, swimming, and countless other summer leagues (great for sports shooters)
- Mating seasons begin for birds (nature photographers)
- Rivers, streams, and waterways are teaming with new life (landscape photographers are just ecstatic)
