{2013} senior rep model search



hey hey class of 2013, this post is just for you...i am officially kicking off my senior rep model search for the upcoming year and you could reap some sweet rewards...i will be accepting up to two models from each school, girls and guys! so guys, don't be shy...we know you like having pictures of yourself too....because i am only accepting up to 2 models from each school, spaces are limited and not everyone that responds will be accepted. so, don't wait!!!

now to answer some questions about the program...

what is a senior rep?

i will pick up to two lucky reps per school...they will receive a FREE 90-minute portrait session ($75 value) in exchange for telling your classmates about the services provided by gypsy tree photography!

if I get picked, how do I spread the word?

you will receive free custom senior rep cards using photos from your shoot to hand out to friends, you will receive a 4x8 accordion album packed full of your pics and you will also receive free digital proofs to share...do you have a facebook page? put your digital proofs on there and link the album up to my website...the more you can promote gypsy tree photography, the better for YOU!

what do you receive for being a senior rep model?

you will receive a free shoot ($75 value), rep cards and digital proofs...in addition to that, each person who books a senior portrait session based on your referral earns you a $20 print credit...there is no limit to how much you can earn, if you have enough referrals you could get your senior package for virtually free. BUT the senior must mention you when booking their session for you to earn rewards.

is there a catch?

if you are selected to be a rep and you don’t refer a minimum of two seniors to me by March 2013, you will be required to pay your $75 session fee. but i am totally confident that with a little work on your part on facebook and handing out your rep cards, this shouldn’t be a problem at all!!!

when would you do my portrait session?

your photos would be taken this spring or early summer.

where would you do my portrait session?

my photos are all taken on location...my style is not your traditional portrait photography, so feel free to suggest locations that fit your style and scream "THIS IS ME"...some great places to shoot are local rivers, parks, in the middle of fields, farms, lakes, railroad tracks, ball fields, junk yards, in town and almost anywhere else you can think of...this is about YOU and my goal is to capture your personality in your pictures.

one last thing...

each rep will sign an agreement stating that you can not be a senior rep for another photographer.

so, are you in? you want me to pick you? here is all you have to do...send me an email at gypsytree@windstream.net and answer the following questions...also please attach a picture of yourself to your email:

first and last name:
parent/guardian name:
email:
birthday:
high school:
graduation year:
home phone:
cell phone:
do you have your parents permission to participate:
three words I would use to describe myself are:
what school, church or other activities are you involved in:
what clubs, sports or volunteering:
interests (music, books, TV):
why you should pick me:
do you have a Facebook page:
what are your two fav stores to shop at:
do you have a part-time job:
are you willing to promote gypsy tree photography by handing out rep cards and through your facebook:

and remember, i am only accepting up to TWO students from each school...so what are you waiting for? get that e-mail in to me NOW! i look forward to hearing from you!

if your parents have any questions about this and would like more information they can either email me at gypsytree@windstream.net or call me at 814-672-5871.
