Let It Be All About You…

Let It Be All About You… – Albany, NY High School Senior Portrait Photographer
The 2010 High School Senior Photo Rep. program is off and running!  I have a handful of students that are eager to participate this year.  These are some of my favorite sessions to shoot 😉  The last few years of High School are such great times in a student’s life!  I really love working with them, and helping them capture their interests, hobbies, and personal style – agh!  I honestly can not wait to dive into this next month!   If you read my blog – you’ve heard me chat about this before.  Too many school in this area require students to sit for the cookie-cutter, black drape, shirt and tie boring pictures.  Some even will not list them alphabetically or at all if they submit a photo from an outside studio….WHY?   My opinion …convenience – it would be very easy for a yearbook staff to upload a disc from one studio – already alphabetized etc.  My favorite response….. “Let your Yearbook picture be your Yearbook picture – Let your Senior Portraits be YOU!” If the schools are going to be rigid, so be it.  There’s no reason you need to purchase anything from them, or give that image out to friends/family!  Play the game, sit for 5 minutes, pick a yearbook photo, and book a Unique Session with me to celebrate this great time in your life or your child’s life!  Enough said!  LOL
The Rep. Program is a wonderful opportunity for students as well as parents.
Without boring you with too many details – here’s a quick outline of what it entails….

*complimentary 1.5-2 hr. portrait session – multiple clothing changes & locations
*unique Video using all session proofs – perfect for posting on the web!
*50 Rep. Cards

What do Rep’s have to do?
*Give me 1.5-2 hrs. of their time to shoot their session

*Distribute 50 Rep. Cards to friends/family

*use 1 of their proofs as buddy icon on facebook for 1 month
*talk about your pics and experience!
….that’s really it!!!!  I spoke with one parent last week – and at one point she said…”This sounds great…I keep waiting to hear what the catch is, but there doesn’t seem to be one!?”
NO CATCH!  🙂  Her daughter is a 2010 Rep!
I value working with these teens – and appreciate them marketing me to their friends and family – it’s a great partnership!
There are 2 slots still available for this year – and 1 may be filled in the next few days.  If you are interested, or know someone who may be – send them my way!
I’ll be updating regularly with photos from the sessions  –  so be sure to check back!  To get you started – take a look at this video for one of the Rep’s this year!
