So you've been watching all my girls the last few years and always wondered how you could do this too? Well now is your chance! I am looking to fill 15 or 16 spots on my class of 2020 senior VIP team! WHY would you want to be on my team?

1. We have a blast!
2.  You will make awesome new friends from different schools!
3.  You get 4-6  photo shoots for less than my top Senior session!
4.  If you do your session early, a portion of your fee will go straight to your photo order!
5. Unlike most Rep teams, you do not HAVE to do any sharing or pimping me out. You do have to sign a model release so *I* can share your photos, but that's IT!  I'm not saying you won't want to ... but you don't HAVE TO!
6. You can earn a super fun destination session AND cash! This year my team voted on Chicago. Where will you want to go? Team votes!
7. You get to be in (and possibly on the cover) of my annual magazine! These are distributed all over town and the digital version is sent to every single senior photo inquiry I receive. You can see last year's HERE!

Here are a few of my favorites from our group shoots this year! I can not wait to see what we come up with next!  If you would like to be a part of my team, applications are going out this SUNDAY (January 27th) Early bird apps are going out SATURDAY (Jan 26) to get an earlybird app email your best email address to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or text 317-319-6045 or DM on any of my social media by FRIDAY Jan 25!

If you would like to have multiple senior photo sessions, make new friends, help out the community, be pampered and treated like a model, have opportunities to earn cash and a destination session ... this team is for you! There are only 16 spots available, so apply quickly! They won't last long! Apply here http://www.shawnamariephotography.com/forms/view.php?id=14

I've been talking about my model program the last few posts as it's time to choose my next group! This class of 2020 will be my 5th team and I am so excited to say that the experience has improved every year because I am ALWAYS striving to be better! Year number 5 is going to be amazing! But every year has been pretty great, and I have had the opportunity to connect with some really amazing young ladies. Nearly 50 girls that I still have contact with on social media ... that I am getting to watch go on to college and get their life started and hope that I played a small roll somewhere along the way. My team isn't about who's the most popular or the prettiest on the outside. I strive to show my girls inner beauty, and help them connect with girls they never would have known, but also to help them feel confident and gorgeous in their photos. I hope that every girl I've ever had on my team, and for that matter, the girls I have photographed who have not been on my team, know that they can come to me anytime for anything! In times where so many kids are taking their own lives and struggling to figure out where or how they fit in, it's important to know that there is someone out there who cares. I care! I'm always a text away, day or night. Don't ever hesitate to reach out.

I didn't set out to write about this, I was just going to show you one of my model's full gallery after her year of participating in every shoot she was able to ... but I started typing and that's what came out, so if you needed that, I hope you found this blog and that you either reach out and join this year's team, or just reach out in general. If you'd like to apply for my class of 2020 team just go to http://www.shawnamariephotography.com/forms/view.php?id=14  and fill out the form!

And now, I still want to show you one of my model's full galleries! I chose Katlyn's because not only did she participate in every single shoot that she could, her own personal shoot was very diverse as she is one busy girl and involved in a LOT!  I think her photos really speak for her personality <3  To see them all go to https://shawnamariephotography.shootproof.com/gallery/Katlyn  all you have to do to enter is type in your email address :)

Here are a couple of my faves from her shoots as well

If you are looking for a senior photo experience that is EXTRA, look no further! At Shawna Marie Photography, we know that feeling your most beautiful begins on the inside. As a member of my team you will start the year with a raw beauty shoot and interview ... many of my previous team members have talked about how much this session changed and helped them see themselves in a different way.

After everyone has their raw beauty shoot we get together for a Meet and Greet where the whole team gets to meet. We have a little party or cookout and always a super fun cake from Gwendolyn Lee Cakery! If you have never had one of her cakes you MUST check them out!

At this party you will also be paired with a smaller group of girls. With these girls, you will get to plan your own mini themed shoot! Think out of the box, unique and fun for this one! We have done these at diners, record stores, shopping malls ... we have done movie themes, decade themes, farm themes etc. The sky is the limit! If you can think it, I'm game to try it!

Then you also get your own personal senior session. You choose locations and get your makeup done by our in house makeup artist, Amy! This session is also yours to plan, though I am happy to help with suggestions!

We will also do a group shoot with our entire group! We have done a Boho theme twice in 2 different locations, a 50s shoot in a home straight out of the 50s, an 80s shoot in a roller rink, a shoot at Victory Field, Waterfalls, Downtown and dressed fancy, a campfire shoot ... they have all been so much fun and I can't wait to plan the next one!

And on top of all of that, you have the option to try to earn a destination shoot! So far we have done this in Chicago once and Nashville, TN twice. The team votes on this one, so it's all you!

So, what are you waiting for? Applications are open and we are waiting for YOU! Just fill it out and I will get back with you ASAP so we can get this party started! Spots are limited, so don't wait! APPLY HERE

One of my favorite things to ask my seniors ... watch to see! And remember to love YOURSELF first! And then everything else will fall into place <3 Hope you all have a great weekend! If you're class of 2022 and still thinking about joining my team, meetings will be starting next week! There's not much time left to join! Apply here!

Meet Payton, A Greenfield Central High School Class of 2017 Senior.  I've known Payton since she was about 8. She used to spend days at a time at my house with my daughter. She was like her sister for several years. They grew apart at some point, and I hadn't seen her in awhile, so I was so excited when Payton asked me to do her senior photos! She has turned into a beautiful young woman :) Had a great time at her session! Isn't she gorgeous?

Class of 2018, I am now booking for your senior year! Give me a call 317-319-6045, or shoot me an email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will get you set up!  I am also looking for my class of 2018 senior model team, which will be decided upon in February, so if that interests you, definitely get ahold of me!

 
 

I haven't had a chance to blog all of my 2019 seniors so far. It's been a very busy summer! Probably the busiest June I have ever had! I love it! We have been able to do some really fun stuff, and summer weather makes for lots of different opportunities than everyone's usual favorite, Fall (which is great too! I just love seeing more people jump in for summer!) Speaking of Fall, I have like 7 sessions left for the entire Fall season, so if you want one, get in touch asap! You can call or text 317-319-6045 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to get that taken care of! Here is one of my recent seniors, Olivia from Rushville Consolidated High School. Olivia is (obviously) quite the artist and she also plays softball for her school. Here is her sneak video and a couple of my favorite images from her session!


 
 
 
 

Class of 2019, we are rolling right along! If you haven't booked your session yet, you might want to jump on that right now! Call me/ Text me: 317-319-6045 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..  If you re class of 2020, I am already taking names of those interested in my model program!

Once you have done that, come back here and check out Madge's session! I am going to do something I don't always do here. I'm going to show you her WHOLE session! Watch the video if you want to see it!


 
And here are a few of my absolute favorites below! We were able to incorporate lots of important things to Madge in this session, like her love of basketball and softball, and also, the lake is a place she hangs with friends, so it has meaning too! I would love to sit and plan your locations with you to come up with something that will commemorate your senior year in a fun and unique way!

Don't get me wrong, I love taking photos in parks and urban areas, but I can't even tell you how excited I get when I get to use a more off the wall location. Be different! Be unique! What's exciting for you? Where is your absolute most favorite place to hang out? This ends our series on getting out of the box for now, but I would LOVE for you to add to our story! Let us create something just for you! I just have a few summer / fall dates left for the class of 2019, so be sure to get in touch asap! You can email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call or text 317-319-6045!  In the mean time, check out this amazing session we did in a record store! So much thanks to  Vinyl Rescue Project LLC in Greenwood  for allowing us to invade their space! Be sure to check them out if you are into music and vinyl! They have a great collection new and old! Check them out here!

Last week I touched on themed sessions. Here is another super fun theme we did with some of my class of 2019 Senior Models at Cammak Station in Yorktown, IN. There are several places in the area to do this type of theme, and 50s are just FUN! So much fun! I am in love with the look. Next time I go back to this place, I will be asking for permission to shoot inside as well! It's so cool inside! They have lots of awesome places to shoot outside as well! Check out some of the pics and our little sneak peek video I put together for the girls! And start thinking about something out of the box for your own senior session! What do you love? Is there an era you feel like you should have been born into? Is there a place you always go that makes you happy, that will remind you of your teen years for years to come? Think about it! Then give me a call! 317-319-6045. You can also email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  !  Class of 2019 spots left are very limited, and class of 2020 are booking now too! Don't miss out!

Have you ever wanted to do MORE  than just the usual senior pictures? Wouldn't it be a blast to become part of your favorite movie or your favorite era? There are so many ways to theme a session, and of course you probably want a more typical session as well. We have that covered! I offer add on sessions JUST for themes for anyone who has already done a session with me. The add on sessions are my only sessions that come with digitals included. Start thinking of your ideas today! You can include a friend or 2 as well if you like. The sky is the limit! Here is the first theme my class of 2019 Senior Models did. This little group chose the movie Clueless and they did an amazing job with it!

Brianna was one of my class of 2017 Senior Models this year. She is one of the sweetest kids you'll ever meet! We had a great time in Noblesville finding fun places to shoot:) You've got to love that red hair! Beautiful isn't she?   If you want to see more of my senior work, check out our magazine at https://issuu.com/shawnadurick/docs/2017seniormagforissuu  and then give me a call 317-319-6045 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to schedule your own senior session!

Whew, now that I am slowing down a bit, I can start sharing some of these amazing senior sessions we have had this year! Kaylee, from Greenfield Central High School, came back in Sept for her session. She had her hair and makeup done by my amazing makeup artist, Amy and then we headed to Falls Park for her session, as it was a place she spent a lot of time with her grandma. Great way to keep and make new memories. Grandma came along as well! We had a great time, and I definitely had to make her get wet! It's the best location for playing in the water :)

 

Megan is a cheer leader at Eastern Hancock High School. She was looking for a session with a little bit of Urban (for her) and a little bit of Nature (for Mom) . We nailed that combination at this shoot! We started off the day with Hair and Makeup with my HMUA Amy. Then we went on our way! Megan was sweet and fun to work with and I couldn't wait to show her her images! This girl is flawless :)


 
Fall sessions with Shawna Marie Photography are booking very quickly this year. I have 2-3 dates left in Oct and 10-15 in November and THAT IS IT! If you're hoping to get in, don't wait! Get in touch with me today! 317-319-6045 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Class of 2017! It is YOUR time! I am so excited about this! I am not sure if it's because my own daughter is a senior, or if it's because of all of the ideas I have. I'm ready to blow all of your friends away with your pics! When we are done with your session, your story is going to be told, and all of your friends are going to be so jealous of your photos! (you know, unless you tell them to come see me too!)

My senior models this year are killing it! We have done 2 group sessions at this point and they have rocked them both! Now let's meet them!

 
This is Ava! Ava is a cheer leader at Greenfield Central High School! I don't know about you, but I'm thinking this girl has a future in modeling. She killed this shoot!



 
This is Brianna! Brianna is a softball player at Noblesville High School! I may be partial since I'm a ginger myself, but the camera LOVES her red hair!



 
This is Casey! Casey is a softball player at Greenfield Central High School. She rocked the grunge look for me at this shoot! Looking HOT HOT HOT you know those bikers in the background were loving it.



 
This is Claire! Claire is a softball player at Franklin Central High School and she's knocking them out of the park at our Victory Field shoot! Claire is committed to play softball for Butler University next year!



This is Isabel! Isabel goes to Nexus Academy of Indianapolis. Isabel isn't just gorgeous in front of the camera, she knows her way around behind it too! She's done some great work!



 
This is Kaitlyn! Kaitlyn plays softball, basketball and runs cross country for Alexandria Monroe High School. She's looking amazing and All-American Girlish for our "take me out to the ballgame" shoot!



 
This is Karoline aka Coco! Coco is a soccer player for Greenfield Central High School! Doesn't she have the most beautiful smile! Looking great at our shoot at Victory Field!



 
This is Katie! Katie and Coco are twins btw! Katie is a star basketball player at Greenfield Central High School! She's committed to play on Ball State's team next year. Love her eyes!



 
This is Madison. Madison is a Cheerleader at Speedway High School. She is also a state champion gymnast! I just LOVED her dress for our downtown shoot! She looked amazing.



 
This is Makayla ... what can I say about this girl? She's MINE! My senior ...aaaahhhh and I am so not ready for this! Makayla plays softball for Greenfield Central High School. She can drive me insane, but she's pretty special and I'm very proud of her! And I might be somewhat biased, but stunning also comes to mind :)



 
This is Morgan! Morgan plays tennis at Shenandoah High School! She is so cute and sweet and I just love this pic of her in downtown Indy!



 
This is Morganne. Morganne plays basketball and softball at Greenfield Central High School. She was named Co-player of the year in softball this past season. I love this look on her and her hair! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

 


Here a few of the girls being the perfect models at our Victory Field shoot! This was SO MUCH FUN! You can do this too ya know! You could even get a few friends together for this one! Ask me about my "add on shoots"  for seniors! I want to tell your story! What is it?





 
 
So, who's ready for this year? (AFTER WE SOAK IN THE REST OF SUMMER)  please please go slow!

What a year! I had quite the group of seniors this past year.  Academic scholarships, athletic scholarships and just an all out great group of genuinely nice girls! I couldn't be prouder of them for all they accomplished throughout their senior year. It's not easy to say goodbye to this group! But not forever! I expect you all to come back to me when it's time for babies! (I know your parents are saying SLOW DOWN! Not yet! lol!) But you know ... when that time comes, I'm here!

Congratulations on graduating and God Bless you all! I wish you all much success in your future. I can't wait to see what and where it brings you! Keep in touch! I would love to hear from each and every one of you, and if you need anything that I can help with, be sure to ask:)    xoxo  ~Shawna

Kerrigan is a class of 2016 senior at Pendleton Heights High School. We had a great time with her sessions. Kerrigan was part of my model program, so she got to do the train yard and the State Fair with the model team and then we went to Broadripple for her own session, as she was interested in an artsy area.  Class of 2017, What are you into? I would love to custom design a session just for you! Contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or give me a call. 317-319-6045. It's your time! Make the most of it!

Olivia was one of my class of 2016 senior models. My models get some great perks like extra sessions and they get featured in my senior Magazine which you can see here!  Olivia chose to have her own senior session at Ft. Harrison State Park. She also participated in the model shoots at the abandoned train yard and the Indiana State Fair.  If you are looking for a fun and unique session, give me a call 317-319-6045 and we can plan your day just for you! Who are you? What do you want your senior portraits to portray? I'd love to meet you and help design your perfect day of photos!
