Hey Class of 2025! Are you ready for an adventure that will capture the essence of your senior year? I’m thrilled to announce that applications are now open to become a part of my exclusive Tribe for the upcoming year!
Working with my current Class of 24 Tribe has been an absolute delight. These incredible individuals have brought so much energy, creativity, and positivity to every photoshoot. Together, we’ve created memories that will be cherished forever – from capturing spontaneous laughter to freezing moments of pure joy. The bond we’ve formed goes beyond just photography; it’s a shared journey filled with friendship and a love for the art.
The Senior Tribe Team is a group of local high school seniors in the Northern Virginia and Shenandoah Valley areas that will represent Rising Soliz Photography for the duration of their senior year. Open to girls AND guys! The RSP Senior Tribe Team is a fun senior experience for rising seniors. Are you outgoing? Do you love to share with your friends the best deals & finds in your area? Then being a senior rep might be the perfect fit for you! Your role as an RSP rep is to share your experience during your model shoot while participating in some fun-styled sessions!
The Senior Tribe representatives agree to use Rising Soliz Photography as their sole senior-year photographer. The rep program starts in the late spring of your junior year and ends in the spring of your senior year. Reps are chosen through an application process during their junior year and will receive countless perks, including up to 3 styled group sessions including makeup for the first kick-off session (or the option to use their makeup appointment for their individual session or opt out of makeup and receive an additional $50 credit towards their individual session order), high-resolution digital images to share on social media, referral bonuses, and exclusive discounts for your individual session.
Team Requirements:
You MUST have your parent or guardian’s permission and sign a model release to participate in the program! Senior Tribe Team representatives agree to book their own individual full or petite senior session which must be completed by April 30th, 2025. The parent or guardian must know you are applying or you will NOT be considered.
Must love being in front of the camera, and share images on social media (tagging Rising Soliz Photography and leaving it posted). Must be available for a styled group session in May 2024 or early/mid-June 2024 (weather permitting- a possibility we may reschedule for midsummer (as the weather has postponed the kickoff before). I make every effort to keep everyone’s schedules in mind when planning these. For the main group or individual session, you will need to block off time before the session to allow time for makeup appointments. You also have the option to opt out of makeup and receive an additional $50 credit toward your individual session order. Session times are about two to two and a half hours before sunset depending on the group size. Pending the number of applicants accepted- the group may be split into two or three separate sessions for time and logistic purposes. There will be at least one or two other opportunities for another styled group session during the winter and/or spring months. Other opportunities are pop-up sessions that are planned quickly if I have something I’d like to shoot.
Must book your own individual senior session to be completed by April 30th, 2025. You will have first-priority dates to reserve your own session. We will chat about what season is your favorite and finalize your date.
Your responsibility as an RSP Tribe Team representative is to spread the word and refer friends to Rising Soliz Photography. This will involve you sharing photos on social media frequently. You will have the opportunity to receive credit for each referral towards your own senior session order. There is a non-refundable retainer if selected of $355. $225 of the retainer is credited back toward your own selected senior collection order.
I love getting to know my seniors and what they are most passionate about. Do you love to write? Do you love to play softball? Do you love fashion? Do you love music? The options are endless & one of your own individual session will be showcased and designed around YOU and your passions or talents!
