Testimonials
"I highly recommend that all seniors consider joining the PBS SMT. It offers a bunch of photo opportunities for a discounted price, provides a chance to meet new people from schools around your district, and allows you to create wonderful memories through new experiences. Sadie always puts in the effort to make sure that everyone on the SMT is comfortable and not left out. She tries her best to schedule photoshoots that work best for all members! A tip for anyone considering to join the upcoming SMT: Start brainstorming some photoshoot ideas now as Sadie encourages all members to bring their ideas to the table!"

Testimonials
"In my experience, I feel like Sadie is very patient and makes people feel comfortable during the sessions, which is great for getting natural photos. She also pays attention to small details like lighting, poses, and backgrounds, so the pictures can come out awesome. Joining the PBS SMT can boost your confidence in front of the camera and help you learn how to pose, smile, and express yourself. You get to do different sessions, themes, and events. You meet new people, make friends, and become part of a group that hypes each other up. It’s been a great experience overall. I’ve met some amazing people, and I’ve also gotten to see some places I’ve never been to before. Overall, my experience has been great. My favorite shoot so far is probably the flower field one. The pictures came out really good, and it was also fun picking out our own flowers and making little bouquets."

FAQ
Why is the Senior Model Team price $475? Is this a discounted rate?
Yes! The $475 fee is a discounted rate. Individual senior sessions normally cost $135–$240 each, and the SMT includes multiple group sessions throughout the year, plus your senior choice session, the Launch Party, team gifts, and exclusive perks. Booking everything separately would cost much more, so the team rate gives you a full year of photos and experiences at a significantly reduced price.
What if I have a scheduling conflict or can’t make a session?
If you know you have a conflict, notify me as soon as possible. Communication is key. If you miss a session without notice or repeatedly cancel last-minute, you risk losing your spot or being removed from the team. The team relies on commitment and respect for the entire group.
I don’t have much modeling or photo-shoot experience. Can I still join?
Absolutely! Whether you’re camera-shy or new to modeling, this team is about growth, confidence, and capturing your senior year. You don’t need prior experience, just commitment, enthusiasm, and willingness to show up.
What are some benefits of joining a senior model team?
SMT members enjoy a wide range of perks! You’ll gain confidence in front of the camera, make new friends, and be part of a supportive team. SMT participation can even be added to your resume or college applications as an extracurricular experience. Members also receive discounted additional sessions (such as couples, family, or individual sessions) during their SMT contract. Beyond the photos, you’ll experience personal growth, build communication skills, and enjoy fun, creative shoots all year long.
Let's recap a few sessions I've had with my C/O 2026 Senior model team so far!
Team members participate in group sessions starting the summer before their senior year until the spring they graduate! This ensures that they get senior portraits taken during all seasons to capture a variety of backdrops, from sunny summer vibes to cozy fall colors or fresh spring blooms. They also get to plan their own senior choice session. This allows them to take pictures that fit their personal style and vibe!
