How It Works

Being a member of the Stunning Senior Program is focused on YOU. The program helps you grow as a person and develop life skills that you’ll use forever. This year-long senior celebration teaches you how to work as a team, make plans, communicate, and so much more. You’ll be committing to multiple photo shoots with StunningGradPhotos.com. We’re careful not to schedule too much and to avoid high traffic times. But, flexibility is important. The benefits of this program could easily cost in the thousands of dollars and you’ll get opportunities that no one else will.

What We’ll Do

The program application opens in January for juniors who will be seniors the following year. In February, we’ll hold an information session so that all of your questions can be answered and we can talk with your parents. Mario Leal and the past team will make final selections in March. You’ll get your first shoot in April for your headshots. And, we’ll begin working together on our styled shoot. That styled shoot will happen in June or July where you’ll work with a professional make-up artist, and hair stylist. The StunningGradPhotos.com calendar will open in August for you to schedule your senior session. The team will work together to choose our community service project and get it scheduled. We’ll hold our holiday/winter shoot in November or December. Our seminar with a local leader will be held some time in March and we’ll begin prepping for your cap and gown mini session.

You’ll be sharing images and referring people to StunningGradPhotos.com throughout the year. And, guess what?! You’ll have tons of fun and learn something about yourself.
