Class of 2018 | Senior Reps | Styled Shoot Part One

I started my senior rep program 3 years ago and have felt so incredibly blessed to have met some of the most amazing seniors through this. This year was no exception!  I received over 50 applications and struggled to choose my team.  It was seriously HARD, because the applicants were all SO amazing!  In the past I’ve had 6-8 seniors on my team.  This year I have 13!  There have been a couple days when I wondered if I lost my mind having a team this big!  Especially the 24 hours right before our shoot, when the weather was not being cooperative, and I was trying to come up with a plan C, since our rain out date wasn’t looking good either.  Organizing a large styled shoot, out of the metro area, with 13 very busy girls, a team of hair and makeup artists and my own crazy schedule, is not an easy task!  And after a lot of group texts, phone calls, watching the weather forecasts and radar, we finally decided mere hours before our scheduled date to go for it and hope for the best.  And it could not have turned out better!

Seriously, these girls are so amazing!!  I can’t say enough for how they went along with my crazy ideas and trusted me in so many areas, when most of them had never met me before our first welcome dinner in the Spring!  And now I feel like I’ve known them forever!  To give you an idea of how incredible they are, these 13 girls come from 8 different high schools ranging from minutes to an hour and a half away from me, and most of them did not know each other before becoming a part of my team.  But they quickly became friends and I’m pretty sure they had fun together!  They are the warmest, friendliest, silliest, and funniest group of girls, not to mention they are all absolutely gorgeous! I’m so thankful to be a part of some of their first memories as a senior!!

Huge thanks to Jen, Teya and Christina from Revive Salonspa in White Bear Lake for their hair and makeup talents!  You ladies rock, and I’m so thankful that Jen and her team of artists have been a part of my senior rep shoot all 3 years!  And to Elise, Isabelle, Maggie, Anna, Clarissa, Shelby, Sydney, Krista, Sky, Hunter, Carley, Anna and Emily…don’t ever forget that you are each absolutely beautiful inside and out!  Thank you for being my Class of 2018 team!  XOXO

If you’re a high school senior and haven’t booked your senior portrait session yet, contact me asap!  I still have a few openings left.  I would love to have fun celebrating you at this time in your life, as a senior!!
