How does it work? It's pretty simple, really. You'll have a complimentary photo session before you start school senior year. You'll get to experience all of the fun and you'll have beautiful photos to show off. As the official “face” of Shana C. Carter Senior Portraiture, you’ll represent my studio and brand by sharing your photos with your friends and by spreading the word about your one of a kind senior portrait experience. The goal is to get your friends excited about booking their own senior photos with me. When they do, you'll get a $50 cash referral bonus or studio credit (your choice) for EACH referral. Not too shabby, huh?

Any high school junior getting ready to start their senior year! I look for high school senior girls who are outgoing, involved in school, community activities, and who are just all around nice people! No modeling experience is required; I’m looking for natural, genuine high school seniors who love to be photographed!

So what does a Senior VIP have to do? It's TONS OF WORK! JUST kidding!!! It's pretty easy, actually - you just promote Shana C. Carter Photography by sharing the photos from your shoots! Tweet them, Instagram them, Facebook them, etc. You'll also promote SCC social media posts by simply "liking", commenting or sharing them, and every now and then, I might ask you to tweet, Facebook or Instagram a promotion or something. You'll also have the opportunity to participate in extra photo shoots throughout the year.

What you DON’T have to do is make any certain number of referrals or pressure your friends into booking (trust me, your photos will sell themselves!) BUT you will only be eligible for cash rewards (or studio credits) if you do. Again...there is no quota to meet and there's no selling required on your part. If you don't have any booked referrals, no worries! You'll still be able to enjoy an amazing senior portrait experience as a SCC senior client!

• Extra photoshoots throughout your senior year that provides you with tons of content (both photos and video)
• Mini photo shoot before you start your senior year
• Your customized senior portrait session
• First dibs on open session dates for Class of 2024 (the best dates are reserved for VIP clients to choose from)
• Session prep guides with tons of details to help you plan for your senior session
• A custom-designed album from your senior session with matching memory box
• High-res digital files from all sessions
• Custom phone app from each session for easy sharing
• Family mini session (if desired)
• Casual cap and gown session
• Slideshow
• + lots more

As you make referrals and your friends book their senior portrait sessions, you earn CASH!

For each booked referral you have, you receive $50 cash or $50 studio credit (your choice).

Is there a limit to the number of referrals you can earn? Nope! The more you refer, the more you earn. Can my mom and dad participate, too? Absolutely! First, no VIP is accepted without parent permission. Your parents are encouraged to come to all photo shoots. Your parents may even get referrals for you...it's not uncommon for me to hear from new clients that it was a mom that referred them! AND, you'll still earn your cash referral bonuses, also!

You will be able to get referrals and the credit for them through May 1 of your graduating year.

Beyond the senior session, it’s up to you! You will have the opportunity to participate in shoots throughout the year, but nothing is required. You’re busy. I get it. You may be cautious that becoming a Senior VIP may take too much time out of your already jam-packed schedules. I assure you my Senior VIP program is simple and easy. All of the extra sessions are optional so if you don’t want to participate or have other plans - no worries! There aren’t any mandatory informational meetings, meet and greets or huge group shoots like some of those other teams you may have heard about.

Any small group sessions or themed sessions that I plan throughout the year. I like to call them “pop-up shoots”. When I plan a session, I will reach out to all the Senior VIPs  to see who is able or wants to participate.  These are fun, creative shoots!

For extra sessions you will receive an app with web-sized digital image of each finished image from your shoot. These images are meant for sharing online, through email and social media and are not intended for printing.  

At the end of our time together, I can add all the high-res images from our extra shoots to your USB drive for no extra cost.  

Yes!  After your initial membership payment of $299, I offer custom payment plans based on individual client needs.  

Each year, after Chirstmas, I open my Senior VIP program for the next class. I begin by sending out exclusive invites by email only to those who are on my WAITLIST. What does this mean? You HAVE to get on my waitlist in order to receive your invite! You can add your name to the waitlist below!
