That almost sounds silly to type out. Because...OBVIOUSLY high schools seniors aren't experts in all things marketing. But, if you are currently running a senior rep team and expecting them to post on social media about your business with NO guidance...this is what you are assuming! So many photographers end up feeling frustrated at the lack of referrals and content posted from their Senior Reps...but I would argue it might be because they don't know where to start!
If you are feeling like your Senior Reps aren't excited or engaged with being on the team...it may be because they're feeling confused. This is their first time ever doing this! They don't know what to expect, when the next shoot is, how to prepare for it, what to wear or what they are supposed to be sharing. It can be tough to be excited when you have a ton of questions!
The seniors are typically an easy sell when it comes to a Senior Rep program...but what about the PARENTS? Fun shoots, events and marketing can't happen if mom and dad aren't on the same page. A handbook that addresses both the senior AND their parents will help to leave them BOTH feeling excited and prepared for the year ahead.
One of the best parts about hosting a Senior Rep team is the SHOOTS! You get to plan fun styled shoots to represent your brand, grow your business and expand your portfolio....IF your seniors participate, prepare and select outfits that match the style you are hoping to achieve. The Senior Rep handbook includes detailed vision boards for each of your group shoots so that your Reps know exactly what to expect, what to wear and how to prep for each event.
I'm a huge believer in community over competition...but I'm also a huge believer in strategically setting yourself apart! I started my senior photography business in a small town where there were already 2-3 VERY established senior photographers with sought-after Senior Rep programs. In order to stand out, I needed to step up...and a customized, 70=page handbook to gift your Reps is an AMAZING way to do just that.
As a senior portrait photographer for over a decade, I know first-hand how much work goes into hosting a succesful Senior Rep program in your business...and I know how frustrating it can be to not see results in your bookings and revenue. Let's talk about why a Senior Rep Handbook may be the missing piece:
If you're burnt out and exhausted like I was back then...I get it.

"This template is a game changer and now I want to purchase all your other templates! The ease of layout and how you can make changes in Canva is fantastic!! Not having to feel overwhelmed and frustrated with making one from scratch is a blessing. Having the wording done for you was just as much a relief as having the design of the template done as well. As a business owner and one woman show, I wear to many hats as it is. So this is just one more thing to check off my to do list and make changes to personalize it to my brand and that’s it!

I can still remember the days I sat in my high school classroom with a head full of big dreams. I was answering emails on my phone under the desk, skipping dances and pep rallies for meetings and hustling hard to make my dreams a reality. I had no idea if being a full-time business owner was even a possibility…but I knew that I was going to hustle harder than ever to make it happen.
In the last 10+ years, I have been through so many seasons of business: seasons of doubt and insecurity, seasons of never feeling good enough, seasons of not knowing how in the world I was going to make this work and seasons where I was ready to give up. Wherever you are right now, however you are feeling, I’ve been there. I see you. And I am cheering you on every step of the way.
Through hard work and hustle and a whole lot of learning, I’ve been able to build a six-figure photography business doing what I love every day. And, even better: I have my LIFE back. I’ve implemented workflows and resources that allow me to be in control of my business, instead of my business controlling me.
With a passion for business strategy and marketing, and a heart for education, I want to provide you with the practical tools and knowledge you need to grow a successful, profitable business built in service and love.
