SESSION & LOCATION GALLERIES
Keep in mind every location is photographed differently or similarly depending on the person that goes there and the outfits they bring - so yours would be tailored to your preferences and style. These are not ALL of the locations, this is just to give you a general example of some popular spots and the full senior session images that came from that spot!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- When will the Senior Model program begin?
Your consultation / info meeting is in February or early March and then we start right away with your first Model session in March! - When do senior sessions take place?
Not everyone may realize that senior photos typically take place during the Spring and Summer before Senior year begins. I encourage my models to take advantage of the great weather in June and July. I've found these months work the best with my seniors' and their families' busy lives! - If I want a Fall session, when should I book?
The earlier the better! If you wait too long, you might not get the season or the session you're looking for. Fall is notorious for last minute sign ups - SO many people 'forget' or 'forget to tell their parents' and sometimes we just can't accommodate the rush! The earlier you book, the more Liz can guarantee your session dates. For the Model Program, you must book by March 4th to get all of the added benefits of the Model Program.
- What does the Model Program all entail, whats involved?
See Above! 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 in Jan/Feb of Junior year until May of your Senior year. Starting with your sign-up, the first session is the Model Session. This shoot is 1 on 1, takes place in March, and is roughly only 5-10 minutes long. All of theses sessions and benefits are free when you sign up as a model!
+ 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.
+ Themed sessions, aka "play sessions" this year we're doing a larger than life Parachute Dress session! We'll be taking group photos, fun, silly, serious, whatever you want! You'll also be invited to wear and customize the parachute dress and skirt (above) at the beach while we let the wind take it and bring it to life! **Model favorite
+ BFF Session - Open to you and up to 3 friends that you invite to have your own mini session! This takes place in April - you'll be given the date right away so you and your friends can block the day off in your calendars as soon as you've signed up!
+ $150 Family Session normally $350 - these sessions take place in August and we schedule them as soon as possible. This is a way to get EVERYONE together before you / they run off in different directions! This has always been a fan favorite for Senior moms, dads, and grandparents. Designed for immediate family, however you are more than welcome to invite additional family members for $25/person. Additional family members need to be cleared beforehand to make sure we have enough time - the more extra people means the more combinations so it's just a matter of scheduling! This session is completely optional so please do not feel obligated! **Parent favorite
+ Grad Send Off Session - This is a 3 part session in May of the year you graduate. We'll be taking an updated headshot, cap'n'gown photos, and/or college, university swag photos to show off what you're looking forward to after you graduate!
+ First Pick In addition to all of the freebies, you'll have first pick of our senior session and family session calendar dates & times - INCLUDING our makeup and hair stylists whose schedules fill up EXTREMELY quick!

Not only will the model referring get credit, but so will their friends!
>>> Models that refer just one person by October 1st will also take part in our bonus session come November!
- 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, the model session. It acts as an introductory session, I'll get an idea of your style, we can chat a little bit more, and you get to experience a session BEFORE the main event. This is especially helpful to get rid of any pre-session nerves. The model session is designed to be super quick - about 5-10 minutes long - so that it doesn't interfere with your schedule at all. All Model sessions take place in Grant Park, Picnic Area 5&6. You're not required to come to anything else if you don't want to or are unable to! - Do you have a hair stylist or makeup artist that can style me for my senior session?
Yes! We are insanely fortunate to have some of the best seasoned and up and coming stylists! She's the best hair stylist in the midwest, owning her salon for almost a decade. She's an international stylist and educator. Christina Gunderson is the owner of The 'Do Hair Design located at 2266 N. Prospect Avenue on the East side. Christina travels the world teaching and applying her hairdressing skills to those in her field and can answer all of your hair questions! She's also certified in hair regrowth and corrective hair loss so if you think your hair is thinning or even something a little less concerning like - it won't hold a curl, Christina is the person to go to!
Our senior makeup artist is Jenna Hayes (@jennahayes3). Jenna works out of her home in a dedicated studio, she is a freelance artist that's been honing her artistry and application skills for years. We've worked on countless sessions together over the last 8 years. Her focus is on beauty makeup, specifically applications for photoshoots and understanding how the makeup and the camera work collaboratively.
In addition to our seasoned pros, I have backup stylists on hand in the event your date is unavailable for Christina or Jenna - they've all been vetted by me and they're wonderful as well.
Hair and makeup makes a phenomenal difference, not just in how you look, but how you feel. It's a major confidence boost that you'll see reflected in your photos. Whether you go for full glam or a minimal, natural application, you're guaranteed to love it. - Is the senior model program for girls only?
Absolutely Not. The Model Program is for both guys and girls. There are more girls than guys, mainly because we've found senior girls like having their photo taken more and more often. My experience has been senior girls like posting photos more than senior guys - which we love. That being said...
We welcome everyone! We celebrate the individual. Whomever you are, we want you to feel like the star of the show, no matter what! He/him/she/her/they/them all are welcome. - 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. >>> 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 15-20 models maximum.
- Why do we offer a Model program?
- 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, equipment, poses, themes, and styles. The feedback they provide is priceless.
- 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 instagram.
- 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 how to help build your portfolio, what local designers and stylists would be a great fit and how to get started. We also know HOW to do this safely.
- We can provide you with: headshots, comp cards, and contacts of folks in our area within 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 not just during high-school but after. - How much is a senior session?
- Senior sessions are ALL $295. Additionally, you can plan to invest a minimum of $1200 on prints and products - through a collection or a la carte. Both Senior Models and 'regular' Seniors pay the same amount, but Models have the added benefits of free sessions for them, their family, and their friends between now and graduation!
- Senior collections include an album of your favorites, digitals with the rights to print, as well as product credit to spend on additional items from ANY of the sessions you participate in. Session bonuses add more locations, additional outfits, and images to your photo shoot. The base senior session ($295) includes one location and 2 outfits. For those interested in a la carte options the menu begins at $100. The full pricing menu is included in your Welcome Guide that you'll receive upon signing up!
