Model Team

We call it an experience because it is exactly that. Being a part of our Senior Model Team adds a unique, extra-special experience to your senior year. Throughout the year we plan creative, styled photoshoots, fun team events, a team photoshoot, and some years we travel for an optional destination photoshoot! Your senior session is included, as well as a free family mini-session and our super popular cap & gown/college t-shirt shoot! You'll also have opportunities to participate in creative photo challenges!

We know how busy seniors are, so we purposely make the team very flexible, with photoshoots spaced apart enough to fit into anyone’s busy schedule. Plus, there are options with different levels of involvement based on how much you’d like to participate. 

A huge part of being on our team is the friendships that you make and the confidence that you build. Much of the feedback that we get from our seniors and their parents talks about how much confidence they’ve gained from being a part of the team and how they’ve built lasting friendships, since these were our biggest goals when creating this program, it means the world to us! These are takeaways that can last a lifetime, and it's an experience that you'll remember forever!
