Senior Model Search | Huntsville Senior Photographer

As I mentioned previously in my latest newsletter, I have started the search for 2011 senior models.  I’ve had an amazing group of 2010 senior models!  I’ve had a blast getting to know each one of them, shooting their sessions, and working together this school year.  And I know the 2011 seniors will be every bit as fabulous.  As a current junior you might be thinking it seems a tad early to be worrying about the next school year … but it’s not!  I schedule a mini session for each senior model, in the early spring of your junior year.  This gives us plenty of time to show off your pictures to friends and classmates (who will of course then want to book their sessions with yours truly!).  Then to round things out we’ll do a regular session in the summer of your senior year (or early fall).   I’ll be accepting (2) 2011 seniors from each local area high school.

What’s in it for you, you ask?

  • spring mini session
  • mini proof book
  • personalized biz cards
  • fall session
  • $25 print credit per referral
  • 3 pics for Facebook
  • compete for cool prizes

All.  FREE.  Yep, that’s right.  FREE.

What’s the catch?  Well, you have to do a little work.  You have to show off your gorgeous pictures, hand out your personalized cards, and coerce encourage your friends and classmates to book their senior session with Marla Laramie Photography.  Yep.  That’s it.

What kind of senior makes a great senior model?  I’m looking for 2011 seniors who are enthusiastic, fun, energetic, motivated, outgoing, social, and involved.

Interested?  APPLY HERE (parent permission required).  Deadline to apply is April 30th.

****Reminder***** Tomorrow is the last day to get your vote in for the contest!  Also, one vote per person please.  Duplicate votes will not be counted. :)

A Contest & A Vote | Huntsville Senior Photographer

It’s that time of year, its January,  and I need something to distract me from how cold I am!  2009 was a fabulous year for my business.  I had a lot of fun and have some cool images to show for it.  :) I thought this little contest would be a fun way to highlight some of my favorite senior images from 2009 … and give them a chance to win a drop-dead-gorgeous 16×20 gallery-wrapped canvas to hang on their walls.

I had such a hard time narrowing these down!!  I had so many images that I loved for 2009.  I hope you love them as much as I do.

Ok, so here’s the deal.  Wanna win the 16×20 canvas?  All you have to do is receive the most votes for your image.  So what are the rules?  You can email friends/family and ask them to vote.  You can ask your Facebook friends.  You can call/text your friends and ask them to vote.  That’s it.  You can’t ask for votes on forums and such.  Play fair, k?

Here’s how to vote:   leave a comment with your favorite image number here on this blog post, via email (info@marlalaramie.com), on my Facebook page, or tweet @marlalaramie.  The contest ends next Tuesday, February 9th at midnight, CST.  One vote per person only, please!

Now go out and solicit those votes.  :)
