Senior Photography & The Senior Model Team
You are only a high school senior once! You’ve worked hard to get here. All of the early mornings, classes, homework, late-night cramming sessions, and extracurriculars have led you here. You’re ready to spread your wings and take on the world, BUT before you start your next chapter…let’s capture this one.
Senior Photography
A great portrait is so much more than a pretty picture. Every high school senior we photograph has their own unique story to tell. From interests...to personality.....to fashion sense..... your individuality will shine through your senior portraits! We’ll work with you to create a session just for you in the style you love. Do you love dance? Running track? Painting? Hiking? We’ll use your hobbies and interests to showcase your story. You’ll end up with a variety of beautiful images that your family will treasure now and in the future.
- First step to booking your session is to think about the season/outfits/hobbies you really want to capture. -We can help! This part can be overwhelming in what is already a busy year. You can text or email us and we can chat or set up a phone call to go over this part. *We do also offer add-ons to our packages
- Next step is picking the package the suits you best and reaching out to get on our schedule. August-November is very busy. It is best to schedule earlier for the most flexibility but we always have cancellations and schedule changes and work with our clients the best we can. Email, Text, or Text for a call back to schedule. Have a few dates available and we will do our best to work with your schedule. *There is a 50% package deposit upon booking your session.
- We will send a confirmation once you are booked and some helpful tips for the day of your session.
- After your session is done- Our editing queue is normally 4-5 weeks depending on the season. *If you would like a sneak peek on social media (facebook, instagram) please LIKE/FOLLOW us and leave a comment or message.
The Senior Model Team
We have a fantastic "team" of seniors we work with every year. AND because we LOVE our seniors we decided seeing them just one time was not enough. We decided to create a "team" and do free group sessions throughout the year with amazing discounts and incentives. In exchange we ask our seniors and their families to share in any way possible. Joining The Senior Model Team costs nothing additional. We are growing our new business the best way there is- through our client's experiences and word of mouth. *Our group model shoots are normally themed- Carnival, Campfire, The Sandlot, Creek, Apple Orchards, Ugly Sweaters, City Formal, etc. *If you decide to be on our team- you receive a micro-mini headshot shoot with referral cards and 10% off our packages. *If you are able to make team sessions (not required) you will receive individual photos from those sessions. *If you refer just one new senior - you automatically get a free sports/hobby mini session. ($395 value) *The more seniors/clients referred the more credits and products you will receive. Our TOP REFERRING MODEL will receive a Grand Prize Custom package. **More information on The Senior Model Team can be found below.

FAQ
Are Senior Models required to attend team shoots?
Senior models are invited to any/all team shoots we have. Attending is not a requirement. Seniors have very busy schedules and we totally understand. We try to give at least a 3-4 week notice however we will also have a date become available and will plan an impromptu session.
locations
We shoot in a variety of Locations on a regular basis. Many of the sessions we shoot are located on a private estate on Fishing Creek Valley Road, Harrisburg. This location is nestled in the mountain with an expansive Italian garden, small ponds, private roads, wooded areas, and a variety of buildings.
We also shoot at Union Canal Tunnel Park in Lebanon, Pa. -The town of Annville, Pa. -The town of Hershey, Pa. -The town of Harrisburg, Pa. -Sweet Arrow Park in Pine Grove, Pa.

W.O.W Team Model requirements
*Our team models are agreeing to represent The Work of Wanderers Photography for the duration of their senior year. Other than team/school photographers they would not promote or be the face for any other photography brands during this period.
*One of our goals in creating our senior model team is to grow our social media reach and client base. Seniors and Senior parents should be willing to share our work through photos, rep cards, posts and experiences. Investing in our seniors experience is so important to us. We love feedback and ideas to continually grow and improve to serve our seniors and their families.
*The Intro Headshot session is required in order to receive the senior model discount-this we will schedule within two weeks of joining the team.

What are Model Team Sessions?
Our model team sessions are themed shoots we plan to showcase our seniors and photography/videography.
We will choose a day and rain date a few weeks ahead of time and send the dates out along with the theme, location, and a what to wear guide.
The sessions run from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on what we are doing.
We do a variety of groupings with our model team and will also take individual photos of our models as well. The amount of photos each of our seniors get will vary.
Past team shoot themes have been - Sandlot, City Glam, Outerbanks inspired, Carnival, New Year's, At the Orchard, and Starry Campfire.
We have a lot of ideas this year and will plan on announcing our first theme as soon as we fill our 2025 team.
At Team sessions in the past our Seniors have earned prizes (in the forms of print products, sessions, gift cards, gas cards, mystery prize bag, etc) by:
*Really going with the theme of the Session -Example - We had one model personalize a thrifted baseball jersey and bring props from home.
*Being flexible last minute - We get that is not always possible but when we had a flower field session cancel last minute- we sent a message to our models. One of them was able to come and in such a cute outfit. It ended up not being a "wasted" time slot and we were able to advertise with those photos and booked two sessions from it.
*Seniors who really put forth an effort to share our work on social media by posting behind the scenes, actually sharing what they liked about their experiences with us, commenting on our work, reposting things and also just being communicative in ideas and ways we can elevate the whole experience IS AWESOME.
Team Communication-
We have tried a lot of ways to collectively communicate with our team members. From groups to snap chat. - Niki is so snapchat backwards that Ellie can just not deal with it :)
This past year we had our seniors download an app called SPOND. It seems to have worked ok. We get alerted when seniors/parents have opened a message so we at least know the information was seen.
We are always open to different ways if you have suggestions.
