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!

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
