It’s that time already where we are looking for High School Juniors with that extra spark to join our Class of 2012 Senior Model Program.  Our senior model program is a special opportunity for outgoing and photogenic high school juniors to have fun modeling while getting a head start on their senior portraits.  Models enjoy a free one-on-one senior photo shoot  that is completely customized to each individual between March and May.  Models can also participate in model-only photo shoots throughout the spring and summer where they can enjoy modeling with other senior models.  Models have the opportunity to compete in our exclusive Class of 2012 Top Model Contest in June for big cash prizes for themselves and their high schools.  Models have no obligation to purchase anything and there is no entry fee, but they do get extra pictures for Facebook and can purchase any of our studio’s prints or products at a huge savings for a limited time.  Models also participate in our cash bonus program for referring their friends and have the option to participate in our new Share the Love program where they can earn cash rewards by doing simple things to help spread the word about our studio.

What is truly unique about our program and what has made it such an incredible experience for our senior models is our model photo shoot events. Models can come to at least 10 different model photo shoots (in Des Moines alone) in addition to their scheduled one-on-one photo shoots and have soooo many outfits and locations. These events are a blast. Models make friends with other models from other schools and make contacts that can lead to future modeling opportunities.

We are currently taking applications for Senior Models in and around the following locations:
Des Moines, IA  |  Wilmington, DE  |  Glen Mills, PA  |  Bryn Mawr, PA  |  Avalon, NJ  |  Chicago, IL  |  Pittsburgh, PA 

Students don’t need modeling experience or need to be a size 2 to apply.  What helps is personality and your recommendation.  We prefer to work with models we know or who have been recommended by our clients, friends and former models so, when you recommend someone, please encourage them to tell us you sent them.  To apply or find out more, please visit www.seniorsbyphotojeania.com/iModel and don’t hesitate to call us if you have any questions at 888-482-5735.  We will be accepting applications through February 6th.

Epic Seniors - Class of 2011

Now here’s a girl who takes her senior portraits seriously (and someone who makes it hard to put down the camera).  Nicola is from Johstown, PA but arranged to have her senior portraits created at her family’s summer vacation spot - Cape May, NJ.  Nicola didn’t have any trouble coming up with ideas for her senior portraits and even liked a few of ours.  She even managed to talk us into both a sunset and sunrise photo shoot to accomodate all of our collective inspiration.  So we chased Nicola and her entourage of BFFs and Mamarazzis from Sunset Beach to Cape May Point and captured her dancing on the beach, hanging with her friends on the jetty, bringing fashion to the dunes, trashing her prom dress in the bay and doing the pouty supermodel thing in town. Definitely one of our must fun, rewarding and exhausting photo shoots of the summer.

Chris is definitely the tallest high school senior we have photographed at 6′7″ which created some challenges even for a 6′5″ senior photographer. And so we got re-acquainted with our ladder and learned that jump shots in a sports composite look just as good when a senior is on his knees. Chris is handsome, athletic and a good sport. We spent some time with him creating urban senior portraits in Des Moines and finished up in his home town in Adel.

Lucy came to us from the Pittsburgh, PA area for some sunrise dance and fashion senior pictures on the beaches of Ocean City, NJ.  Lucy’s dad kept the early morning mood light with his sense of humor and my lights from falling over with his quick reflexes. What a nice way to start the day
