If you are on Instagram or Facebook and follow Avery’s Photography, you have probably seen these girls photographed on our page a lot. That is because they are our 2018 Senior Models. You might be asking yourself what being a Senior Model means. Each of these girls represents Avery’s Photography. They each get their Senior Session Fee waved and in return Avery will use many of the pictures that we take from the Creative Shoots we do, and use them for marketing purposes. Creative Sessions are anything we do throughout the school year that is not their actual Senior Pictures. The themes for these creative shoots is a collaborative effort between Avery and the Model Team, which makes it really neat! This is a Valentine’s Day shoot we did in our Studio and it was very laid back but tons of fun!
