2020 Senior Spokesmodel Summer Shoot | PART ONE

July 25, 2019

This is my THIRD year having a senior spokesmodel team…I can’t even believe that!!! Starting this program was one of the best things I’ve ever done for my business and for my soul –– I love meeting these girls, being able to pour into their lives, and have them love my business as if it was their own.

This year I took FIFTEEN girls…the largest team I’ve had yet!!!

I also planned one of the biggest shoots I’ve ever done! We started bright and early in the morning at my house to get make up done by Eliza Eagles (Makeup By Eliza E) and Molly McCarthy (Seven Makeup and Beauty).

All of the girls opened their team gifts –– including this super cute shirt I designed!!! I am low key obsessed with it, hehe.

We headed to Yoga Salt Studio in downtown Wilmington, NC for some team photos before going to the big shoot location –– the yacht at Carolina Beach Yacht Club and Marina!!!

There are SO many from that part of the shoot that they deserve their own blog post, so that will be shared tomorrow! 🙂

For now, here are the cute team photos of all of the girls! I cannot wait to spend their senior year with them. They are so sweet, funny, out-going, and everything I could have asked for in my 2020 spokesmodel team.

If you are curious about getting senior photos done, these are the girls to ask!!!
