It’s hard to imagine my first class of AJ Senior Spokesmodels is almost over, and my girls will be High School graduates in just a couple of months. When I started this process with them, they were still in the first half of their senior year, mostly looking forward to Christmas break, college applications being completed, and the photography journey they had coming up with me. Now I can say they are mostly looking forward to closing that high school chapter and moving on to the next plans in their lives.

God has given each of them such a uniqueness and sweet set of gifts that I can’t wait to see them bring into the world and share with others. Like Ava, who wants to be a Pediatric Nurse, or Cassie who wants to be an artist, and Gianna who wants to be an entrepreneur and business owner! Combine them together onto one team, and we were able to create pure magic throughout our time together, as well as through our Senior Spokesmodel Experience!

This session completed our second of three sessions, and was a crowd pleaser with my girls when they got to meet the videographer I teamed up with to create a Behind the Scenes video of their experience as my Senior Spokesmodels. While there is a light teaser available on my Instagram, the full video is not quite finished, but I know all of us are so excited to see the results!

We had a second surprise, while on location, when there was an outdoor cat one of my seniors befriended, who wouldn’t stop following her around. At one point, there were three cats, but it seemed only one or two of them wanted to stick with us, so much so that you’ll even see an image in this blog post of it!

My next round of Senior Spokesmodel applications will go out to interested Seniors and be due before the end of March! For those who are interested in signing up for the program, or gaining more information, please contact me on the Seniors tab on my website.

Your Senior Spokesmodel Experience includes 3-4 spokesmodel sessions with me in addition to your private one-on-one senior session at *one* price. This price is reserved for my Spokesmodels only, with an additional tier where Seniors can book hair and makeup appointments for all sessions and take their experience to the next level. Filling out the contact form on my website is how to get in touch with me for this info.

I like to think my Senior girls have had a blast this year, and cannot wait for a strong finish with them this month, as well as welcoming my next girls from the Class of 2023! Gianna, Ava, and Cassie – I can’t thank each of you enough for sharing the opportunity and honor of being your Senior year photographer and hope this season has been a blessing in each of your lives!
