Class of 2009 Model Search Begins Today!


I love to watch infomercials. I get a kick out of watching actors get immense pleasure from trying the new latest time-saving product for the first time. They are clearly acting, but I understand what the directors are trying to do – they want us to see how joyful the product can make us feel.

I don’t recruit actors – I recruit real juniors and seniors to represent my photography business. You can tell that the models I work with are real people, and you can tell that they are thoroughly enjoying their “job”. Here comes my pitch...

I’m looking for a wide variety of people from the Class of 2009 to represent my studio. Anyone can interview to be a model for me. I can show you how to save money, earn money, and get the greatest senior portraits around. Contact me by February 15th so we can set up a program consultation and you can tell me why you’d be great!

Here’s how the program works –
  1. All models will receive a complimentary session. This session includes 5-6 outfit changes, a wide variety of backgrounds, including studio and on location, and up to 50 images to view – a $350 value!
  2. Models are not obligated to purchase any prints; however, prints may be purchased by March 31st at $21 per Gift Portrait* – that’s a savings of 40%! After March 31, the discount drops to 20%. That’s still quite a savings!
  3. A limited number of models will be photographed between February 8th and March 2nd, 2008, so they can be added to any of my promotional material for the Class of 2009. This will also give ample time to show off their portfolio to current juniors at school.
  4. I will provide you with special cards to hand out to your peers. Each person who reserves a session from your referral card will receive 48 complimentary wallets – a $60 value – and $75 off any session booked by June 15th. Even better – you will receive $10 cash for each card turned in!
  5. Any model whose name is on 5 or more cards turned in that results in reserved sessions will receive an additional 48 wallets from their initial session. Models with 20 or more referred bookings will receive a $200 bonus!
I am looking for models of all types and looks – someone just like you who wants to have great senior portraits, a fun-filled experience, and is willing to put forth the effort to earn some extra money. How can you lose?

Here comes the best part of any infomercial…

BUT WAIT – THERE’S MORE!!

Apply up to be one of my Class of 2009 Senior Models by February 15th, and receive your senior yearbook ad design for 50% off! That’s a mere $15 for a half page, or $30 for a full page!

P.S. Models are booked on a first come, first served basis. Don’t miss this great opportunity – call me at 813-334-6023 or apply today!!


*A Gift Portrait is defined as one 8x10, two 5x7s, or 16 wallets. You are not limited to one pose!

Buddy Cruise

I am pleased to announce that I will be joining the FRIENDS-Support organization on their inaugural Buddy Cruise in October.

I have held a few fundraisers for FRIENDS over the past two years, and I am excited that they have asked me to join them on the cruise as their official photographers. In addition to scheduling family sessions in beautiful Nassau and Cococay, I am planning to put together a memory book of this historic cruise.

The Buddy Cruise is designed to provide an opportunity for families from across America to come together and bring awareness to one of the most frequently occurring chromosomal deviations, as well as promote inclusion for individuals with Down syndrome. Visit their website at http://www.buddycruise.com for more information, to book your cabin, or to make a donation.

Attention Class of 2009!


You deserve more than just ordinary high school senior portraits! Your senior portraits should portray who you are and what activities you are involved in. You don’t have to settle for the same old “cookie-cutter” photographs that the “big companies” produce. I want you to have the ultimate portrait experience. Unlike the huge contract photography studios, I will take the time to create memorable portraits that you will always be proud to have and display.

Check back for upcoming specials for the Class of 2009, and last-chance offers for the Class of 2008!
