January
January photo bookings are very similar to December with most of the events in January having started in December or even November. The main additions new to this month are Graduation photo events. These include 8th Grade Graduation (or Freshmen Graduation if you have that more traditional model in your area) and Nursing or Trade School Graduation Promotions as well as the traditional High School or College Graduation event.
