I was completely starting from SCRATCH.

Just like you, I knew I wanted to specialize in high school senior portraits but struggled to break into the senior market. I wasn't a senior myself and wasn't a mom of a senior.

Spoiler alert, the first time I tried doing a senior model team it completely flopped. I got one girl on the team, only for her to later on ghost me (which I didn't blame her)  because I didn't know how to provide a good experience. 

I went back to the drawing board, and completely change the way I was doing my team. I concentrated on the value on the experience and what the girls were benefiting from the team and took myself and my business out of it. I know it sounds the opposite of why you do a model team right? Well, once I shifted my focus and learned how to create excitement around my offer, making it a no brainer for high school seniors to be a part of, it exploded the next year I launched my team.

I had a sold out team of 20 members and made over $20k with that team alone (before referrals).

FAQ's

If you are an action taker, then this course is designed to get you ready to launch a team program in just a couple weeks. Although, if your clientele is low and you are needing to grow your audience a lot more than I recommend giving yourself 1 -2 months to build before launching. 

what if i've never done a team before?

You've come to the right place! This course is exactly for those that have either never done a team before, or tried once and it didn't yield the results they wanted. 

who is this course not for?

If you are still learning your camera and editing skills (of course there is always room for improvement) but if you can't consistently deliever on images with each girl, then a team may not be for you YET.


what if i don't have a lot of senior work to market with?

In this course I help you with ideas of how you can grow your senior photography portfolio at the same time as growing your audience of potential model team members. 

I'm worried I won't have enough time to devote to a team

This is a very valid concern! Although I've built the senior model team program so it doesn't completely run your life, there is just no way around the fact that senior model teams DO TAKE TIME. The first time you do a team will take the most time as you are learning when to plan things and what works best for you.

However, if the idea of having to communicate with you team members at least once a month on top of having a handful of group shoots throughout the school year seems impossible for your schedule and lifestyle, then maybe hold off another year until you can really give your team a good experience. 

how much time will this course take?

The course is broken up into bite size videos of 10-20 mins so you can fit them in whenever you can. Or you can binge watch the entire course in just a couple hours. I've done my best to give no fluff info, but only actionable steps that you can take to build and market your senior model team.

my story

If we haven't met, Hello! I'm Michelle! For so many years I kept waiting for that "big break" to come. I felt confident in my camera skills and knew I could offer a good client experience, but felt defeated by the empty inbox and feeling like I had to shout above other photographers to get my name out there.

I was tired of working multiple part time jobs alongside trying to build my photography business. I longed for the success that social media glamorized with these photographers making 6 figures, but was stuck in how to actually make it happen. 

I sought out as much education as I could about senior model teams. I knew they could create a lot of great marketing for my photography business, but had no idea where to start. It would take me completely flopping the first time I tried launching a team to decided that I didn't want to do it like how all the other photographers were doing their teams at the time. And that's when everything clicked. 

Fast forward to now having 6 years of sold out senior model teams, I started getting a lot of questions from other photographers that were in the same boat I was. I was answering a lot of the same questions and so that's when I knew I wanted to create a course so that others could replicate that success too. 

Nothing pumps me up more than hearing your success stories. How the method I teach you completely transformed your team and helped you get a sold out senior model team that then grew your photography business!
