Why JOIN the

Mary O. Model Team?

 

The ONLY Model Program with your own
LUX SENIOR SESSION INCLUDED!!!

and a strong emphasis on community service and mentorship.

 

Mary O. Model Team is about more than just getting your picture taken. It's centered around creating an unforgettable experience and capturing the time leading up to your graduation. Models are offered an amazing portrait experience, including opportunities to participate in editorial photo shoots and creative projects, access to exclusive products and pricing available to ONLY to models, as well as, the chance to earn your senior portrait products for FREE. Yup, FREE!!!

 

Best of all, you’ll get to meet new friends and be a part of a community that supports and encourages one another. It's young people just like you! Notice, I didn't say "girls". That's because Mary O. encourages guys to apply too! We pick the students that are the best fit for the program regardless of race, religion, color, or gender. We do ask all models to be in high school during their model year but they can be Freshmen - Seniors. Each year the applicants are different, so the team is different.

 

AND… as a team, you’ll be involved in fun community-oriented events and projects. You will work together on community service projects, receive mentorship, earn national service awards, and Mary O. will even help you find scholarships. Have we mentioned, ONLY Model Team members are eligible for the Mary O. Senior Scholarship?

 

What exactly is a Mary O. Model? As the official “face” of Mary O. Photography, you’ll represent the Mary O. brand in the community at events, by sharing your photos with your friends, giving a shout out on social media, and by spreading the word about your one-of-a-kind portrait experience.

 

The goal is to get your friends and the community excited about booking their portraits with Mary O.! When they do, they'll get a discount on their session and you get a little something, too! It could be cash, prizes, or a super fun gift card to the hottest retailer.

 

WHAT IS THE

MODEL TEAM?

The Mary O. Model Team is all about you making connections and being a part of something it's more than just senior portraits.

 

Starting as early as your freshman year of high school, you'll have access to exclusive Model Team group shoots, the opportunity to travel with the Model Team & your family to places like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, plus access to exclusive Team events & more!

 

As part of the Model Team, you'll have the chance to go above and beyond your senior year and be a part of memories that will last far beyond high school.

 

WHY JOIN THE MODEL TEAM?

The Model Team is unlike anything else in the nation!

First, the biggest thing with the Senior Team is that it's just that... a TEAM. One of the reasons that I do the Model Team every year is because of the connections that I've seen the team form with one another year after year. Girls have found their college roommates and Team members have become best friends.

 

Not only that, but you'll have the chance to be nationally published in magazines like Senior Year Magazine, an industry-leading publication. Styled group shoots that are unmatched! You have access to perks that only the Team has access to and being a part of events that are invite-only.

AND… More than that you will be making a difference! As a Team, we work on service projects in the community. We have collected books for children’s homes, done food drives, refurbished playgrounds, and baked cookies for first responders. Mary O. Model Teams have given hundreds of hours of community service!
