In this day and age when there is such a disconnect in relationships, a time when kids only know how to talk to each other through text, when face to face relationships have all but been replaced, I want to put that connection and those relationships back into their lives. Every year I have a team of seniors (who start the 2nd half of their junior year) who want to be part of a family, make new friends, form new relationships, take pictures that bring their confidence levels up and just have fun together.It's a whole senior photo experience that starts with a raw beauty shoot and then consists of a full group themed session, a mini group session that they plan, their own personal senior session and some other perks along the way, like the chance to earn a destination session, and with options to upgrade to include a cap and gown shoot or a shoot with their best friends ...If you are class of 2023 and you'd like to be a part of this, just DM your email address!Applications are coming soon! You don't have to be the prettiest, funniest, tallest, shortest, most athletic or have the largest social following. you just have to be YOU and one of the first 16 girls to accept your spot.This group is for everyone, so don't be afraid to fill out an application. It does cost money, but if you are going to shoot with me anyway, you get a lot more for your money out of this experience. It's priceless! Don't be the one watching your friends later and wishing you'd done it! Send me that DM!If you're seeing this, please share as FB makes it hard to get the word out! This video includes girls from several different groups, and some sound quality is off, but the message is important! We need to hear what these kids are saying! 
Class of 2023 you can email you me your email address if you'd like to be the first to know when applications come out! It will be the end of this month! Just email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
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
It is time for our annual cover model contest! Who will be the next face of Shawna Marie Photography's SENIOR Magazine? YOU can help decide! On Tuesday January 12th voting will begin on my Instagram stories. If you are not following me on instagram, you're going to need to do that first! Http://www.instagram.com/sdurick Then follow my stories tomorrow and click vote on the face that you think should grace the cover of this year's Magazine! Here is a preview of who's in the running!
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?
- We have a blast!
- You will make awesome new friends from different schools!
- You get 4-6 photo shoots for less than my top Senior session!
- If you do your session early, a portion of your fee will go straight to your photo order!
- 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!
- 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!
- 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!
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!

Meet Marlee from Hamilton South Eastern High School! Marlee's session was late this summer. We had a great time in downtown Pendleton and at Falls Park. There are also photos from a model shoot or two here. My models this year did a Boho themed shoot, a shoot at the Indiana State Fair and a waterfall shoot plus their own senior shoots and some headshots and a fun softball setup we did for some of them. If you are class of 2017 I am already on the search for next year's team! It's a ton of fun and you get a LOT more photos through out the year all for about the same amount of money, so who wouldn't want to do it? If you're interested, send me an email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and include links to your facebook, twitter and instagram accounts. I send out invites in early February, so talk to me now!
