The Model Program is all about adding to your senior year. My goal is to provide you with an amazing experience while focusing on telling your story. Our stylists adjust to you, our way of posing/directing, interacting/exploring the locations, and recommendations are ALL customized to your personal aesthetic. Senior photos are what. we. do. and what we love!
LET US TELL YOUR SENIOR STORY.
Referrals are how we run our businesses and we value our clients recommendations. If you have friends that are interested, that you'd like to do the program with you or that you think could benefit from EVERYTHING that we are offering for 2022Seniors - invite them and tell them to mention you!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- With COVID-19 when will the program begin?
The honest answer - I don't know yet. I never want to put my models, their families, their friends, or myself/stylists, in any uncertain or potentially hazardous situations so we'll have to stay updated with our health officials and continue to practice social distancing as best as we can. I'm feeling optimistic with social distancing, staying hydrated, and being diligent with hygiene practices that we'll get through this and get back to at least a resemblance of normalcy. - When do senior sessions take place?
Not everyone may realize that senior photos typically take place during the Spring or Summer before Senior year begins. Some seniors opt for Fall or Winter sessions, these take place at the beginning of Senior Year. Every school's yearbook deadline is different and every senior is unique. You decide when your session takes place and we'll cover the rest! - If I want a Fall session, when should I book?
Sessions begin booking in January and sometimes as early as October of Junior year. There's a peak season for those famous Autumn colors or those gorgeous sunflower fields and they're usually the first days claimed for senior photos!
If you wait too long, you might not get the season or the session you're looking for. The earlier you book, the more we can guarantee your session will take place when you want it to. For the Model Program, you must book by April to get all of the added benefits of the Model Program. If there are extenuating circumstances, let us know. Life happens, we're here to help! - What does the Model Program all entail, whats involved?
Not only will you receive stunning senior photos, but you'll also have the opportunity to participate in sessions and events from the time you sign-up until May of your Senior year. Starting with your sign-up, the first session is the Model Session. This shoot is 1 on 1 and typically takes place in March or April and is roughly 5-10 minutes long. All of theses sessions and benefits are free with the Model Program.
+ 1-on-1 Model Session to take place before your senior session as a warm up to being in front of the camera in March or April.
+ Themed sessions, aka "play sessions" from sign-up to graduation in 2021 (example themes: Americana, Coachella, Urban Fashion, Nautical, Denim-Denim-Denim, Winter Fashion, NYE, Parachute Dresses). **Model favorite
+ Grad Send Off Session - professional headshots, cap'n'gown / formal photos, college / university swag
+ $75 Family Session in Spring 2021, Fall / Winter of 2021 or Spring 2022 **Parent favorite
+ First Pick of our senior session and family session calendar dates & times!
+ Be Featured in all of our 2021/2022 marketing - website, products, videos, social media and more.
+ Custom Mobile App and online gallery of your model images - an easy way to share with friends & family!
+ Referral Program. Last but not least models receive referral credit to be put towards any print or product of their choice simply by asking their friends to name drop when they book their consultation. Not only will the model referring get credit, but so will their friends!
- I'm involved in a lot of sports, extra curricular activities, and am saving money for school... what if I don't have enough time to come to the model sessions or events?
Honest answer - don't worry about it! There is only one mandatory photoshoot outside of your senior photo session, your first model session usually takes place in April or May and this is just designed to get you in front of the camera before your senior session later on. It helps me understand what your style is and to get any pre-photo jitters out! This session is super quick - about 5-10 minutes long. This helps me understand how you like to be photographed and really just helps you feel more comfortable with me taking your photo before your senior session takes place. - Do you have a hair stylist or makeup artist that can style me for my senior session?
Yes! We are insanely fortunate to have the best hair stylist in the midwest. She's an international stylist and educator, Christina Gunderson, owner of The Do Hair Design is a creative FORCE. Christina travels the world teaching and applying her hairdressing skills to those in her field to help further their careers as well as non-stylists just looking for direction with their own hair.
Our go-to makeup artist is and Jenna Hayes. Jenna is a freelance artist that's been honing their artistry and application skills for years. Her focus is on beauty makeup, specifically applications for photoshoots and understanding how the makeup and the camera work collaboratively.
Hair and makeup makes a phenomenal difference, not just in how you look, but how you feel. It's also a major confidence boost that is extremely visible in your photos. Whether you go for full glam or a more minimal / natural application, you're guaranteed to love it.
Services are $95 each. - Is the senior model program just for girls?
Absolutely Not. The Model Program is for both guys and girls. There are more girls than guys, for a number of reasons, mainly because we've found senior girls just like having their photo taken more and more often, and like posting photos more often - but not always. We welcome senior guys and senior girls equally! We celebrate the individual. Whomever you may be, we want you to feel like the star of the show, no matter what! - Do models have to look a specific way to join?
Absolutely Not. EVERYONE IS WELCOME. There are ZERO height, weight, gender, hair, or skin requirements whatsoever. We only ask that you're a good human. Might sound silly, but that's the only requirement. Axe-murderers need not apply. - How many models are in the program?
LKPD takes on a maximum of 50 seniors in a given season - that's including models and 'regular' senior clients. Models receive bonus services and sessions so I like to keep about 20-25 models maximum. - ^ Why do we do this?
Because everyone deserves to be the star of their own story - everyone deserves to feel beautiful/handsome, accomplished, confident, and celebrated.
We have so. many. ideas. Models get to be the first to try out new locations, poses, themes, and styles. The feedback they provide is priceless. If our makeup or hair stylists want to try a new look, style, we ask our models!
New poses, new locations? We approach our models first.
We use only the images the models love for our portfolios, websites, and social media - and you get access to ALL of these images. You'll never, ever miss a #SeniorSunday or an image to post on your blog, story, or insta. (We're too old and we watch too much Netflix (90s kid here!) to understand VSCO, but like, you want to post there? Go for it. Haha)
LKPD also works with local, national, and international designers and stylists. For girls interested in taking the senior model program farther into the world of modeling we know who to connect you and your parents with. We also know HOW to do this safely. We can provide you with: headshots, comp cards, and contacts of folks in the industry. When you're an LKPD model, you have us in your corner, for as long as you'll have us. Most of my models keep in touch long after graduation. We build each other up and support one another, during and after high-school. - How much is a senior session?
Senior sessions start at $250, you'll pay the same amount as a model that you would being a 'regular' senior client. The bonuses are free with the Model Program.
