Hi! It's that time again upcoming seniors and for this next year I've got some exciting new changes I'm bringing into my senior rep program and I think you might like it A LOT! I am now offering 2 fantastic photoshoots to add to your senior year and as a Senior Model Rep you receive it an extremely low low price...which by the way, you are now called "WEP Senior Model" and not just "rep" anymore. ;)
​
SO! I am looking for only 8-10 Senior Models from schools all around the metro who love fashion, love the camera, love sharing on social media and LOVE the unique photography style of West Elm Photography! If this sounds like you, check out the amazing perks to being chosen to represent a style of photography that is fresh, distinctive and not like the rest. 

I am looking for upcoming 2020 seniors that are comfortable in front of the camera, dedicated to marketing my brand by posting their images to all social media and who have a love for fashion forward images. Many of my seniors sign with modeling agencies after highschool, might as well have a portfolio to show them! Keep in mind, you don't have to be an aspiring model to apply :)

All senior models + parents will sign a contract that they acknowledge the terms of my senior portrait process along with acknowledging the perks and details of being a 2020 senior model. 
Terms: 
*All senior models cannot be a photographer themselves or represent any other photographer (professional or amateur) until their contract is up, contract ends upon 2020 graduation.
*Senior Model applicant's require parent's approval and parents will need to attend the sit-down consultation & sign contract.
*When chosen as a senior model you will need to pay the $375 up front (for the heavily discounted perks) plus $300 to reserve your actual senior portrait date. Only my senior models get the option of reserving their senior portraits with less than the full amount, the remaining session fee balance will be due on the senior portrait date.
*If chosen you agree to post every senior Sunday and tag west elm photography and to never apply filters or crop out my logo.
*Chosen models will need an active facebook and instagram (public), this is a MUST!

So now that you have read the simple terms ... just think, by this time next year you will have already had your concept session to socially share, the naturally-you session PLUS your own actual senior session! That's three sessions showing off you in this last year of highschool! So wink wink, to apply, you gotta love the camera because I'll be in your face a ton. ;)

One thing I highly enjoy about working with youth is that they want to have bomb a** photos to show off and they love being the first to try something different when it comes to their senior portraits.
I always want my seniors to push past their boundaries, especially with fashion. I love fashion myself and love seeing images that are different than the rest. 
Last weekend I went to a conference in Chicago and along with other photographers who are also fashion forward types, we worked with young models on just what we love...fashion! and also unique poses, again breaking out the norm is what sets my passionate heart on fire.  Love seeing my poses come to life, it's one thing to imagine them but to be able to document them is even better. 
Enjoy some of the images from my time in Chicago and I hope to help my seniors branch out more and try this for themselves!
P.S. I bought the black leather jacket for myself, lol, had to have it!
