10 Tips to help your 2024 Senior make the most of their senior year.

There are SO many things to accomplish during your senior year, your head is probably spinning wondering where to even start. Our biggest senior tip is to sit down RIGHT NOW and write down all the things that are important for you. You will start feeling less overwhelmed as you start checking things off your list.

I wouldn’t call myself an expert on much, but I have been photographing high school seniors for about 25 years and I “see” things and “hear” things. Plus, I have had TWO seniors. One boy and one girl. I am now on the other side of high school (but still photographing seniors) …so I have some “I wish I had…” and “I’m glad I did…” thoughts to share with you.

Let’s get started…

  1. Research college applications. (How they work, what you will need, how much they cost, how to get scholarships, how and when to fill out the FASFA, when you need to make a decision)
  2. Schedule your final SAT/ACT testing dates
  3. Schedule college visits
  4. Write down ALL important senior dates (yearbook PDA deadline, Homecoming, Prom, cap and gown ordering date, spring break, senior skip day, end of the year banquets, etc) Your school website will be a wealth of information on this topic.
  5. Acquire cute outfits. You will need multiple outfits for senior events throughout the year, but will have little time to shop, so grab them when you find them.
  6. Practice making good decisions. Sometimes the line of good judgment gets fuzzy, if you need help consult a trusted adult.
  7. Create memories with friends and family. Take pictures of EVERYTHING! Memories last forever.
  8. Learn to balance your social life with academics.
  9. Take care of yourself. Eat, Sleep and exercise.
  10. When in doubt, ask for help.
  11. BONUS: Schedule your senior portrait session. You are worth it! This is your 12th year of school! I am proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself too. Let’s celebrate by showing off the awesome person you have become. Take the first step, call today to schedule your session. Don’t worry, I will help you with everything.

We are SO excited to be accepting applications for our 2021 Senior Model Street Team. (the deadline to apply is January 30th) We have had a team of senior models for the past 19 years. Our street team has been a huge part of connecting amazing seniors, like yourself, with Texas Tradition Photography.  And this year will be no different.

2021 is going to be incredible!!

What exactly is a Senior Model Street Team? Our street team is a select group of exceptional 2021 seniors who love to meet new people and be social. Our models love to be photographed and have great ideas that they bring to the team. Our street team keeps me up to date on what’s important to seniors. They are the face of my business.

SeniorModelBlog_3

When you say “meet new people and be social” what does that mean? Great question! Our team is made up of seniors from various high schools around the North Dallas area. After multiple shoots and parties, you will become friends with your fellow models. You will have a blast sharing stories and experiences both in person and on social media.

Is there a fee? Yes, the fee is $175. This is our normal senior session fee. However, as a model, you will receive at least four modeling opportunities and lots of extra goodies in addition to your senior portrait session. We treat our models with extra special sweetness. And did I mention that you will have the opportunity to earn this money (and more) back?

Can you elaborate on the “Extra goodies”? Yes, you will have the opportunity to win additional prizes, cash, gift cards, photo shoots and more throughout the year as additional incentives. Plus you will have Fresh digital images to share for your entire senior year.

 

This program is designed for 2021 high school seniors that want to be a part of the BEST senior experience in the North Dallas area.  Candidates do not have to look like a model or even want to be a model.  But you do have to have a great personality, be willing to try new things and brag about us every now and then.

I am no different than anyone else this time of year. My mind is racing. I’m reflecting, not only on the end of the year, but on the end of this century. I think about what I did right, what I did wrong, and what I can improve on. And of course the excitement of the new year brings tons of ideas and lists…. LOTS OF LISTS! Sometimes my dreams are too big, but that’s why they are called dreams. I always push myself to be the best I can be. Because pushing myself makes my business and photography better each year. Am I the best photographer in the world? Probably not, but I want to be the best I can be.  I am a work in progress…. and by progress, I mean I’m moving forward.

Running a business is hard work. Especially when you run it by yourself. I’m getting better at including some behind the scenes images and stories. As hard as it is, I have a lot of fun and I want to share that with you.

Humor is the best way to get through life.  None of us are perfect and not everything we do goes as planned. I primarily work with high school seniors and families. Here is a funny example of life not going exactly as planned, but in the big scheme of things, was funny and ended up just fine…. I was greeting the mom of one of my family portrait sessions this season, as the rest of the family was arriving in multiple cars. (it was a big family) At the same time, the mom and I overheard the daughter say … dad, you wore your flip flops? The mom’s head swung around so fast I’m surprised it didn’t fly off. Yep, the dad ALWAYS wears flip flops. So why would he wear anything different? I paused to see if the dad was going to be burned at the stake, but after a short awkward quiet second, everyone started laughing. The dad has such a cute smile, I’m sure he never really gets in trouble. He was quickly forgiven and we put him in the back to hide his feet. This is why I love families. A family’s little quirks are what make them “them”. (yes, Lauren, I’m talking about YOUR dad)

So, instead of looking backward this year, I’m only looking forward.  I have ALOT to be thankful and grateful for. I am blessed with my health, amazing clients and friends, a prospering business, and a loving family…. which may be growing in the new year. (yes, that was a tease that I’m not ready to elaborate on yet, but I will fill you in VERY soon)

Happy New Year!!!  2020 I’m ready for you!
