This is Taylor who’s going to be one of my Model Reps for the Class of 2011. She’s a hockey player – how cool is that? I went to see her play this morning and was only planning to stay long enough to get a few photos, but ended up staying for the whole game – it was that exciting! It was close the whole way and unfortunately Taylor’s team couldn’t pull it out in the end, but they played so hard. It was great to see a group of kids so passionate about what they do!

If you’re a junior in high school and would like to have nFocus Photos take your Senior Photos this year, it’s not too late to sign up for the Model Rep program. It’s a bunch of fun! Just click on ‘Model Rep application’ above and I’ll get you all the information.

This is Kaylee who’s going to be one of my Model Reps for the class of 2011. She loves the snow so I met her today for a short session out at Raceway Park. And guess what! It was snowing!!! It was a new location for me, so we did a little bit of exploring and found a whole bunch of cool stuff to work with including a barn and a bunch of horses.

It was cold out there, so we didn’t go too long, but we ended up with a whole bunch of fun stuff! Here are a few previews…

Brittnei came in to the studio this afternoon for a Senior Session. She’s a bass clarinet player and brought it along for a few photos which was really cool. She’s also a total stitch and so much fun to work with. We took lots and lots of photos including a whole bunch of her just cracking up. Lots of fun today!

Here are a couple previews from the session…

I’ve been doing a lot of studying over the last few years and all the hard work finally paid off when I opened a letter from Professional Photographers of America this month telling me I was now officially a Certified Professional Photographer!  Only 3% of photographers nationwide and 50 in the state of Illinois have been certified! To achieve the CPP designation I was required to submit a portfolio of my work to a panel of judges for their approval as well as pass a comprehensive written exam measuring technical expertise. Going forward I’ll be required to renew my credentials periodically by participating in continuing education programs and submitting work for critical evaluation.

What does all this mean to  you, the consumer? Certification helps you assure your photographer is maintaining his or her level of expertise and continuing to develop new skills and techniques that are going to make you look your best! So when you’re out there shopping photographers, make sure to ask them if they’re certified. You’ll be glad you did!

Class of 2011! The response to this year’s Model Rep program has been incredible! I already have a bunch of great kids signed up for this, but I could use a few more. Don’t miss out on the fun!

Here’s how the program works:

nfocus Model Reps get a free model session in the studio this spring. During this session I’ll be trying out new ideas and backgrounds as well as creating photos for my advertising and promotional materials for the Class of 2011. In other words, you’ll be the first ones from your class getting photographed and your photos will be all over the place!

In addition to the free studio session you’ll also get a discounted or free outdoor, two location Senior Session in the summer. You’ll get free promotional materials featuring your images to pass out to your friends, a slideshow of your photos for Facebook, cash bonuses for referring your friends and the opportunity to earn discounts on your senior photo print order. You’ll also have a chance to win a laptop computer and be among the very first members of your class to have your senior photos featured on our website and in our Facebook marketing. In addition you’ll also receive a free family session that you and your family can use any time before you head off to college.

To qualify you must currently be a high school Junior who wants to have you Senior Photos taken by nFocus photos and you must be willing to promote nFocus Photos to your friends as well as attend a consultation meeting with one of your parents. The meetings will be held in Crystal Lake, Illinois.

To apply, fill out the application below and click on submit. Make sure your parents know you’re applying because once I get your application I’ll be back in touch with you to set up a consultation meeting with you and one of your parents. I’m only going to take a limited number of Model Reps from each school, so apply soon! If you have any questions you can email me or message me on Facebook. Looking forward to working with you!

Take a picture, it lasts longer!!!
