I'm trying to figure out how to advertise for senior sessions. I can't think of anything. Neither can my wife. I asked one of the kids at our grocery store, but I think she probably thought I was a weirdo or something. Anyway, let me know what works. I'm open to all suggestions.

Best possible way is word of mouth. Try contacting a small group that isn't sought out (like Choir instead of Drama, Band or Football) and start there. Build your way up.

PUt together a dynamite brochure and a killer web site.
Get on the Facebook pages of juniors and seniors.
Buy a class listing from one of the agencies.

Offer $100 cash outside the exit at your local high school. (just kidding)

Tom nailed it on the head.... I did a senior session for the daughter of my best friend, who happens to be a popular girl in her school and had like 400+ friends on Facebook. When I got done processing them, I added them to my fanpage on FB, tagged her, and in the first week after that--- I had about 25 new signup's on the fanpage and had 6 other seniors contact me to do their photos.
