Senior Model inspirations comes in all different varieties.  From the super girly shoot to the elaborate concept shoot to the All American Girl shoot as shown below.  Whatever your theme, make sure to showcase the girls as Kristie of Kristie Bradley Photography did in the shoot below.

The girls are styled perfectly to fit this theme and Kristie did a great job capturing both the individual girls and the girls as a group!  Check out this senior model session below and read what Kristie had to share about the shoot and about her model program!  Thanks for sharing your work with Seniorologie Kristie!!

What do you think is the most important quality for a spokesmodel? This is my third year with a Spokesmodel team and my most successful models are the ones that are authentic and truly believe in KBP! The models who are true fans and love talking all about their experience can really make an impact. Personally I try to choose models that are positive, respectful, active in their community and show enthusiasm during the model interview process. I don’t take everyone who applies so it is very important to me that the models that are chosen truly understand that this is a special opportunity! 

How many spokesmodels do you have this year and how many different high schools are represented? I have 8 models this year that represent 4 different schools!

Your spokesmodels participate in a group photo shoot.  Tell us a little about the concept, the shoot and how it all came together. YES! This is one of my favorite parts of my model program! I love planning a group shoot, involving the girls in the theme choice, and using it as the launch of our Spring season! This year an All-American theme was chosen. I wanted a Ralph Lauren meets Abercrombie type feel of the shoot. The girls did a fabulous job bringing clothes to style the outfits. We also got some key pieces from a retailer, LuLu Luxuries(http://www.lululuxuries.com/)! Not only did they provide us with the two striped tops, but they provided most of the jewelry in the shoot. The leather cuffs are my favorite! My husband and I built the huge pallet flag featured in many of the images. It came out exactly as i wanted(thanks Pinterest!) The shoot was truly a team effort and I couldn’t have done it without my amazing team of models, parents, stylists and my family! I had a second part planned for the day, but the weather caused us to wrap early. SO…we are getting together to do another shoot! Stay tuned for those images. They are going to be totally different than this look!

What will your spokesmodels receive from this shoot? Models were surprised at their schools with a magazine of the Spokesmodel shoot.You can see it HERE(http://issuu.com/kristiebradley/docs/2015spokesmodelmagazinecompressed). I debuted the images in print and then online in magazine format. Each school is also being featured throughout the month of April on my blog. Models will be receiving model cards, a personal photo App, Facebook and Instagram images, Facebook Timeline covers and a few other surprise goodies! They also receive exclusive discounts and can earn products and cash!

Where did this shoot take place? We are super lucky to have a very generous family as a part of our Spokesmodel team. The shoot(and our next shoot) was held on the private farm of one of our models! Thank you! 

What time of day? Generally I like to photograph the last two hours before sunset, but the weather was not in our favor that day. We moved everything up a few hours and wrapped the shoot around 4pm. The girls were such troopers! You can’t even tell they are freezing in the 40 degree temps and cloudy skies! 

What equipment was used during this shoot? Nikon D800  and Nikon 85mm A reflector was used as well. 

What do you feel is the most important thing for photographers to remember when creating a spokesmodel program? I think every program is unique to the photographer so it is important to be yourself and create a program that works for you and your ultimate goal. There are so many structures out there and they may not work for every photographer’s business plan. I am still trying out new things and each year I re-evaluate what worked and what didn’t.

What do you hope to accomplish from this spokesmodel shoot? I always go into all of my shoots wanting to show my clients and models how beautiful they are! Already, I have had a few conversations with my models about how much they love their images. Giving them confidence and helping them feel good about themselves is all I need to make this shoot worth it! Any exposure I get for my business on top of that is icing on the cake!
