We are looking for some fabulous, outgoing Seniors from the class of 2016 to represent Northstar Photography & Design!
Want to know how our Senior Model program works?
A Northstar Photography & Design Senior Model is just that…a model. We advertise our services to seniors throughout Southeastern Michigan each year and we need fantastic images to do that. That’s where you come in. We collaborate with you to create a custom senior model session that reflects your tastes and who you are. Each senior model session is completely custom. We love working with sports, dance, the arts, and people actively involved in living their passions.
Why should you choose our program?
We focus on timeless photography while still being relevant. Your photos will be something you can look back at and always be in love with- a true piece of art. We take the time to build a lasting relationship with our clients so your photos will truly represent YOU and not just what we think is cool. To help foster this relationship we do require a consultation, parents are required to be there, so we can make sure that all expectations are met.
After your photo session we create advertising materials using the images.
Examples of promotional materials include: cards, social media advertisements, posters, videos and much more. You never know where you might pop up!
Here are the details, so please read carefully!
