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

Every year my model team splits into groups and plans their own theme. They plan their outfits, hair and makeup, location and theme and I come out and make it happen. This group decided they wanted to do a Pretty little Liars theme and they knocked it out of the park! Check out a few of my favorites below!

Class of 2020 I am almost all booked up for Fall, and spring is filling in quickly! Class of 2021, I am taking names for my VIP model invite list next year!

Elexus came in at the end of summer for her senior session. She did my VIP session, so we had some really great variety! We did a couple in my home studio, then we hit up the local library, her high school, an old abandoned train, a friend's house with a great pond, Falls park and downtown Fortville! We crammed a TON in and had a blast doing it! She started out getting her makeup done by my hair and makeup artist, Amy. Then we did her studio shots with a messy bun. After that, Amy finished up her hair and we took off for the rest of our session. At our 2nd to last stop, we had water, and even though she knew we had one more place to go, she got all in and even soaked her hair ... a little scrunching and it was gorgeous for her next location as well! Here are a couple of photos from our day, and then if you want to see the full session, you can watch her video on my You Tube channel!  Be sure to subscribe while you're there!

If you're ready for your session, I am booking class of 2019 Spring sessions and I am booking 2020 summer and Fall sessions plus taking emails to get on my list of people to email about my VIP Model team that will go out in Jan/Feb. Email me to book your session or get on the list! This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

 

Hey all! I am in the middle of crazy season "aka Fall" so my blog is, as usual, way behind. I wanted to share a bit about my senior model or VIP program though. I am getting close to looking for my 2020 group and I know there are a lot of questions! My model group is really more of a VIP experience than your typical senior rep deal. My girls do pay to be in my program. The only REQUIREMENT you have to fulfill for me is to sign a model release so that I can share your photos.  The main point of this is to be a part of a really cool, fun group, get extra themed shoots, try to give back to the community a little and just have a FUN experience being pampered and treated like a model. Can you do more? YES! I do have some incentives (like a super fun destination shoot) that you can earn, and my girls get cash for referrals as well, but you do not HAVE to do anything or  get a certain amount. It's all up to you on what you want to earn! We also make a super fun magazine that gets placed in local businesses, shared with every client who inquires about a session and every girl on my team is featured in it and gets one of their own to keep. My girls are also encouraged to write an article/story/howto  or something of interest to them that will be published in the magazine as well if they like.  We have a really good time and it's a great chance to find some new friends as I take girls from many different schools. I'm going to share a few photos from this year's team shoots. Our destination for those who earned it this year was Chicago (I or the girls pick a few places and everyone votes, so who knows what we will do next!) Check these photos out, and if you are even the slightest bit interested in joining my class of 2020 team, just go here and fill this out! All that will happen is I will email you a link to the application when it comes out! If you want to join you can fill it out and submit! I only take 15 girls, so there is a selection process, but the sooner you apply, the better your chances! http://www.shawnamariephotography.com/forms/view.php?id=16

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!

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.

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
