Class of 2020, are YOU ready? Next year is shaping up to be amazing! VIPteam applications are open today through January 11th at midnight! Why only document your senior year with one session when you can have multiple themed sessions throughout the year?! Don’t miss out on the incredible opportunity to be part of an exclusive group of seniors who treasure fun and friendship! No matter your interests, I promise there’s a place for you. VIPteam members are your girl next door, community leaders, young entrepreneurs, volunteers, athletes, scholars, dancers, performers, fashionistas, activists, military and college bound, and more! All that matters is that you possess a kind heart and have a passionate lease on life! Ready?!

Applications can be found HERE!

Here are some frequently asked questions and answers about VIPteam:

Q. How many members do you accept?

A. I do not have a set number of those I invite to be part of the team. It largely depends on the number of applicants fitting my ideals of the team, the dynamics of the candidates, and my availability for the coming year.

Q. How many applications do you receive?

A. The past 3 years I have received around 100 applications.

Q. Do you accept senior guys?

A. Yes! Of course! If a gentleman is genuinely interested in being an active part of team events and requirements, I would love it! Moms, I know you love your boy’s photos as much as your girls, but please do not force your son to apply if they are not truly interested. I’m have many senior clients (both male and female) who are not part of my VIPteam.

Q. How much does it cost?

A. Members pay a VIPteam membership fee that is due upon acceptance. Members are also required to invest in one of two individual session experiences with Laura. More details on investment is shared during a formal info-social held in late January.

Q. How many sessions can VIPteam members participate in?

A. VIPteam members are guaranteed a session during each season starting with a Launch Shoot in spring of their junior year! None of the sessions are mandatory, but I promise you wouldn’t want to miss them! We often do additional themed sessions at the request of the group or if I come up with a fun idea!

Q. What else do I receive as a VIPteam member?

A. Aside from multiple sessions, each valued at $250 per person, VIPteam members receive the following:

  1. High resolution digital images from all sessions delivered via online gallery.
  2. VIPteam Class of 2020 t shirt.
  3. 15% off online store print and product purchases.
  4. $50 off Family Exclusive Sessions (short sessions in spring and fall)
  5. $25 online store credit for referrals
  6. NEW this year! First right to book Destination Sessions!
  7. Holiday Party with fulfilling Community Service project
