What is the
Senior Spokesmodel Team?!
The Erika Rene Photography Senior Spokesmodel Team is a special program for high school seniors that celebrates senior year with photoshoots, events and more! Are you someone whose heart is broken by what you see going on in the world today? Do you have a heart to make a difference and change the world with your love, compassion, and kindness? This team is a place for you to be supported and championed by likeminded young women who you will be able to build lifelong friendships with over the course of our year together, all the while getting to participate in epic photoshoots and contributing your own ideas to the shoots we do!
"I absolutely love working with Erika! Her positive energy has encouraged me to become a more confident version of myself! I also love connecting with other girls on the team. We really do come together and motivate and inspire each other! Being an Erika Rene Spokesmodel is one of the most fun experiences of my life. It is an awesome feeling to have someone who believes in you and their own work so much taking pictures of you! Plus, you get built in friends and tons of laughs!"
-Molly
Its no secret that one of the core values in my studio is connection. As a member of this Spokesmodel team, you will have an opportunity to meet and deeply connect with other girls that you might not have ever known otherwise!
friendships
Not only will we do an epic styled shoot with free hair and makeup for the whole team, but we'll also do several holiday themed shoots throughout the year so you have fresh content to post and share all year long!
photoshoots
We'll start the year with a meet and greet so we can all get to know each other, then you'll get a mini headshot session and we'll also have events like Friendsgiving/ Christmas party. We'll also celebrate the end of the year with a special Senior breakfast!
opportunities
All those who hit their required referral number will be eligible to participate in the destination photoshoot. Each girl must be joined by a parent on this trip- it'll be a special time not only to get fabulous photos in a different location than St. Louis, but a time where we can bond as a team one last time and where each of you can spend some quality time with one of your loves ones!

The model team fee will be $300. This is in addition to booking your senior session with Erika Rene Photography. You will receive multiple thousands of dollars worth of free photos and sessions throughout the year, so this $300 is to cover minimal expenses, all the rest of which I will pay out of pocket.
I accept the number of girls who I believe I can fully and deeply invest in throughout the entire year. Quality over quantity is more important to me. This is so everyone on the team feels valued and supported by me, and so there is opportunity for deep connection amongst all the girls on the team. Its also important to me to choose girls who I believe share my brand values and overall mission.
No. Part of being on this team means using Erika Rene Photography as your exclusive photographer throughout your senior year. The exception, OF COURSE, is anything school sports/teams related and then I completely understand having to use someone else for those.
The only group photoshoot that is REQUIRED is the big one during the summer- this year, we are doing the group styled shoot in the sunflowers! I'm scheduling this around your schedules to make sure I accommodate everyone. All the other shoots are optional but HIGHLY encouraged so you have fresh content to share all year and so you make the most of the opportunities for fun and relationship building with the team throughout the year.
Everyone will be notified whether they have made the team or not. You will be given exact details after the interview as to what the next step is and how soon that will be taking place.
Share your photos and experience on instagram and with your friends throughout the year. While you won't be penalized in any way for not sending me referrals, you will be highly rewarded for sending me referrals. We'll have fun "referral competitions" randomly throughout the year where you can win Lululemon gifts cards and other prizes. Those who bring in at least 6 referrals will be eligible for the senior trip at the end of the year. And the person who brings in the MOST referrals (but a minimum of 6) will win a $1,000 cash prize at the end of the year!
Absolutely NOT! NO ONE will be chosen based upon looks or "ability" to model. I happen to believe that everyone is beautiful and that everyone deserves to be celebrated. The girls chosen for this team will be chosen upon their hearts, their character, and how in sync they are with the brand values of Erika Rene Photography. NO ONE has to be a model- I will take care of you, teach you posing, bring out the absolute best in your fabulous self and make you FEEL like a model, even if you have ZERO modeling experience!
Please don't hesitate to reaech out if you have any other questions!
What models are saying...
"I am so happy I chose to get my pictures done with Erika! She did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable and beautiful during the entire shoot. She brought me waters, my favorite drinks, and plenty of snacks. Not only were my pictures perfect, the experience was as well! Another things I loved about working with Erika was that she was very easy to communicate with and there was no confusion. I 100% recommend going to her, she is amazing all around!"
-Melissa
"Erika is an absolute joy to work with! In the past, I had struggled with self-esteem and self image. However, after working with Erika as a spokesmodel, I feel so beautiful and confident! She makes me feel so comfortable during photo shoots, and helps me recognize just how beautiful I truly am. Erika is kind, compassionate, and a pleasure to work with!"
-Sophie
"Erika has been such an amazing role model for me and has shown me from a young age what a true woman of God looks like. She has helped me in so many ways- most importantly, she has helped me to grow in my relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. She continues to pour into me the knowledge of God's word and His love for us. She is such a beautiful person who is always there for me regardless of the situation. She has been by my side every step I take in my journey with the Lord. I am so blessed that God has placed her in my life. Watching her grow in her relationship with the Lord has encouraged me to live a holy life in God's truth. And it doesn't hurt that she happens to be the best photographer ever! and has given me confidence I never knew I could have!"
