Maybe being a Model Rep won't really
alter your life one way or the other.
But it'll be great fun--guaranteed!

_____________________________________________________
We generally have openings for Senior Model
Representatives for Spanish Springs, McQueen and Reed.
A Model Rep
promotes, through their naturally outgoing and friendly
personality, our senior portrait services to other
students. We photograph our reps early in
the season and provide them
with marketing materials from their session to aid in promoting the
studio. This
photography is done as soon as possible--preferrably, early to
mid-April-- to ensure reps will
have their session photos and other promotional materials for at least
a month before summer break. Of course, our weather sometimes
gets in the way of all this going smoothly, so getting that session
scheduled may require pulling it together on fairly short notice once
the weather does warm and things start turning green!
There are several valuable benefits for our Reps!
TO START, A HALF PRICED SESSION AND A
PROFESSIONAL
MAKEUP ARTIST!
First, your senior
portrait session with professional makeup is only $100! This is a $95
savings
by
itself. And BTW, the makeup artist is Gaynel Wadsworth (Linn), an
independent commercial photographic
makeup artist ("commercial" and "photographic" are the key words here!).
A FREE STARTER COLLECTION OF PRINTS
You'll receive a starter
Collection print package of 4-5x7s, plus 24 wallets absolutely free
(along
with the necessary retouching and
enhancements---also free---for two image files).
But remember, that's just the
beginning collection--you can add to that either with
credits earned from your
referral bookings, or by purchasing additional prints outright at
special Model Rep pricing, which is based on the add-on
pricing for the largest print collection. (The largest collection
has the very best pricing for add-ons.) We say Model Rep prices
are "based on" the largest collection's pricing because you also
get an extra 20% off those prices!
PERSONALIZED REFERRAL CARDS
To actually generate your
referrals,
you receive personalized referral cards that you can
give to friends
at school. These let you
to
earn credit toward
more photographs when friends book their senior session
using your referral card. (They also earn 16 free
wallets for themselves when they use your referral card to book their
session!)
A FOLIO WITH PRINT IMAGES TO SHOW AND WEB IMAGES FOR YOUR
FACEBOOK/MYSPACE SITES
You'll
also
receive a folio containing five 4x5 print images to show at school, as
well as
a set of
Web-optimized images with our logo to post online. These
should assist you in promoting the studio and earning additional
image prints, or credit toward those image prints.
The savings from the half-priced photo
session with makeup, along
with the initial set of
prints
you receive in your starter collection, all together have an ala carte
value of around $400.
A
key part of a Senior Model Rep's promotional work relies on the ability
to reach out and spread the word about Hildebrand Studio with their
friendly, natural enthusiasm, rather than trying to "sell" our
photography. Our thoughts are that when potential
clients who would be a good fit with our style of photography actually
see our work, the quality of the work sells itself. So our reps don't
need to "sell" anything, they need only show our work, and answer
questions about how they felt about working with us as a studio. That's
where the rep's personality and enthusiasm comes into play, but
really--it's all very low-key!
We
want to capture a wide-range of images of you, so having a good
wardrobe of different looks is a great plus. You don't need expensive
clothes for this--just a collection that you wear with style!
It's your personality and personal style that helps make your
photographs
unique, and it
always makes a great photograph when that all comes through in the
clothes you wear and personality you project! Something we try to do
with all our senior ladies are some photographs outdoors in an
elegant, formal
dress, so having one available is
helpful.
Lastly, while your session will be primarily about what you want from your senior
portraits, we may want to add a couple things like the formal
dress, and perhaps an activity or two you may be involved with but
might not ordinarily ask to have included in your senior portraits. We
want you to enjoy these additions to your session just as much as what
you'd normally want to do. In short, the best thing a model rep can be
during photography is a real ham, and
just enjoy being in front of a camera!
Well, please first discuss this with your parents, as they may have
some questions! If they do, or if you have any, just phone the studio
at 356.5550. Then with your parent's ok, send the application!
Once we
receive your application, we'll contact you very shortly to set up
an appointment (along with at least one
parent) to come in for an interview. We'll also have more
detailed information for you at that time. So
phone
the studio ASAP, submit the ap below, and you'll be hearing from us
very shortly!
(One more note: Our policy is
to always keep
your personal data private. We never sell or release such information
to
anyone.)
