Senior Ambassador Team
What is a senior ambassador?
Being a senior ambassador means that you have the opportunity to represent the face of Novella Photography for your entire Senior year. Senior Ambassadors receive multiple perks including, lifelong friendships with other Novella Photography Senior Ambassadors, a complimentary mini session before your senior year with professional hair/makeup, participation in a full styled group shoot with hair and makeup included (individual pics will be taken of you this day as well), TONS of digital photos to share online with friends, YOUR individual senior session, cash bonuses, group activities and prizes along the way! Your spokesmodel position would start the spring of your junior year and will continue until the end of your senior year. SO much time for pictures, friendship building and getting comfortable in front of the camera before your own personalized senior session.

- $50 back per referral (up to $600) then $25 after.
That's a minimum of 4 shoots for the price of 1! SOOO many pictures to share and so much time to get comfortable in front of the camera. You'll be a PRO by the time your personalized senior session comes around!

The JOURNEY as an ambassador
1. Apply
Applications to become a Senior Ambassador typically open in February each year. You should apply in February of your JUNIOR year.
Once applications have opened, you will find it here on my webpage. On the application, the dates of each of the required event/photoshoot you are required to attend will be there. If you are unable to make one of those dates, please still apply and notate the date you will not be able to attend. Please understand that I will not have a makeup date so you will be forfeiting that particular shoot. The Meet & Greet is absolutely required as I will be answering questions and it is the time for you to get to know the rest of the team.
2. the chosen ones
If you are chosen to be a Senior Ambassador, your parents will be contacted by the end of March. Please be sure to have the conversation with them prior to applying that you are applying as well as all of the required dates listed on the application. Once your parent/s has given permission for you to be a Senior Ambassador, as well as paid for your own personal senior session, it is time for the fun to begin!
3. Setting up your personal senior session
After our first Mini Session together (our second time meeting), we’ll set a date for your personal Senior Session—your time to shine! While the mini session, group styled shoot, and cap & gown session are all based on my creative vision, your senior session is all about you.
You get to decide when you want to capture this exciting milestone—whether it’s during the golden days of summer, the crisp colors of fall, or the fresh bloom of spring in your senior year. From there, we’ll design a session that reflects your personality and style. I’ll guide you through outfit choices, location options, and the overall vibe to ensure everything comes together perfectly. When your session day arrives, you’ll feel confident, comfortable, and ready to make memories!
4. the fun continues
The fun doesn't end after your own senior session though! As mentioned, there will be opportunities throughout the year where I may need a model to show off a new couture dress, a new location, etc. You will also get to have one last hurrah in front of the camera when we have our group Cap & Gown session! Don't worry...mom will get some individual pics of you in your Cap & Gown as well!
5. tell the others
Tell all your friends (and younger friends) about your experience as a Senior Ambassoder! If you loved it, encourage others to apply for future years!
