Your senior year isn’t just another milestone.
It’s the moment everything shifts; the late night laughs, the big dreams, and the quiet realization that life is about to change.

At Elite Photography, we created the Senior Model Experience for those who want more than beautiful portraits. It’s for seniors and families who want to feel this season again every time they look at their images — who want to hold on to the pride, joy, and excitement that define this chapter.

More Than Photos, It’s a Celebration of You

Every senior has a story. Some are bold and full of energy; others are thoughtful, creative, or quietly confident. Our goal is to capture that story in a way that feels honest and alive.

The Elite Senior Model Experience isn’t about posing or perfection; it’s about connection. It’s about laughter that happens between shots, the sparkle in your parent’s eyes as they see who you’ve become, and the friendships that form through shared creativity.

You’ll take part in exclusive themed sessions like our Denim Meet and Greet or the Country Girl vs. Cover of Vogue shoot. Each session is designed to let your personality shine and create images that feel like you.

Which Experience Is Right for You?

A traditional senior session is a one-day celebration, focused, personal, and crafted to highlight your individual style.

The Senior Model Experience, on the other hand, is a journey.
It unfolds over time through multiple sessions, giving you the chance to express every side of who you are and connect with others who are walking the same path.

It’s not about being a model. It’s about confidence, storytelling, and creating something you’ll look back on years from now and say, “That was me. That was my moment.”

What You’ll Get as an Elite Senior Model

When you join the program, you’re stepping into a VIP experience unlike anything else in Hampton Roads senior photography. Every detail has been designed to give you more than photos — it’s a full-year experience built around connection, creativity, and confidence.

✨ Exclusive Photoshoots
As an Elite Senior Model, you’ll participate in multiple themed group sessions, creative destination shoots, and signature events throughout the year. Each session is carefully styled and guided to help you feel confident in front of the camera while creating a variety of looks for your portfolio. You’ll have access to 3–4 different photoshoots before graduation, themed Friend Sessions, and your customized senior experience session.

✨ Branded Images for Social Media
Show off your senior year in style. You’ll receive beautifully edited, branded digital images after each group shoot to post and share online, along with access to unbranded versions for prints or albums.

✨ Referral Rewards
When your friends book their own senior sessions, you’ll earn cash or studio credit toward your album or custom artwork. There’s no limit to how much you can earn, and each referral helps you reach new perks faster.

✨ Special Discounts and VIP Perks
Enjoy savings on your customized senior experience session based on the month you book. You’ll also receive a complimentary family photography session valued at $200 and early access to studio events and promotions throughout the year.

✨ Confidence, Connection, and Community
This program is about more than photography. You’ll gain experience in front of the camera, meet other local seniors, and build friendships that last beyond graduation. Every photoshoot helps you grow your confidence and creativity — and you’ll walk away with unforgettable memories and timeless portraits that tell your story.

Memories That Last Long After Graduation

Every image we create is designed to be more than a photo; it’s a time capsule. Parents tell us these portraits become heirlooms, displayed proudly in their homes, passed down through generations. For seniors, they’re a reminder of where it all began and the start of a new chapter filled with courage, laughter, and possibility.

This isn’t just about how you look; it’s about how this season feels. Because someday, you’ll want to remember the confidence you found, the friends who stood beside you, and the joy of being fully, unapologetically yourself.

Is There an Investment?

Yes and it’s absolutely worth it! Most families find that the Senior Model Experience more than pays for itself with all the included perks, sessions, and referral opportunities. You get so much value for what you invest, and it becomes one of the most memorable parts of senior year. We go over all the details and payment plan options during your consultation so you can choose what works best for your family.
