AHP Model Team Seniors | Amanda Howse Photography 

“Being on the Model Team with my friends is so much fun! Not only do I get to hang out with them outside of school, I have some amazing photos to cherish!”

AHP Model Team Seniors 

The AHP Model Team seniors are the spokespeople for everything, well, AHP! They are the first people to try out my new ideas and locations, and the best people to show you all the endless possibilities that your senior session could hold. Because just like you, they are seniors too! In this blog, I wanted to give you a rundown on the senior experience, life on the Model Team, and why we do what we do. Plus, show you a bunch of cute pictures from the year! So whether you’re a parent, senior, soon-to-be senior, or just an excited family member, this is for you!

What It’s All About!

When I created AHP, I wanted to change what the senior portrait experience was for high schoolers in the Seattle-Tacoma area. I wanted to curate a meaningful experience that my seniors could look forward to for months, even years before and after. A way to show each of them how big of a deal graduation really is! But more than that, I also wanted to build a community that helped each of these girls (and guys) flourish. Senior year is full of so much fun, but it is also a time of transition and big life choices, which can be really hard. AHP is a place that helps ease some of that stress and replaces it with a full, fun senior experience. One that is tailored made just for Y-O-U! Let’s get into the details of what that means!

AHP Senior Experience 

Our senior experience is a day full of relaxation, glam, and so much fun! Each of our senior girls begins their day at our downtown Tacoma studio, Studio253, getting pampered by our professional hair and makeup artist. We only ever book one senior per day, so the day is 100% dedicated to them and their shoot! Each senior experience is customizable but can include 2-3 hours of portrait shooting, unlimited outfit changes, access to the AHP Style Closet, and so much more. Seniors have the option to add a stylist, multiple locations, and even additional time in the studio to get fun, indoor shots. In addition to all of that, there is still more! We provide a pre-shoot wardrobe consultation to help you select your outfits (and accessories) for the big day. After, we schedule a portrait viewing night to showcase all your photos from the shoot! This is where your family can order prints, packages, and everything else you could want.

Model Team Perks and Play

Being a part of the Model Team provides seniors with even more perks and fun! Each year, we select a group of senior girls from the surrounding high schools to be a part of the team for the whole year. They are invited to fun monthly shoots, BFF (or significant other) sessions, and optional get-togethers where we hang out, talk, and have a really good time! Model Team members get professional photos for their entire school year and the chance to get comfortable behind the camera BEFORE their senior session. They also get the first pick of my summer and fall session dates which always fill up fast! And I have great news: applications for the Class of 2024 Model Team are still open!! So if all of this sounds like a senior experience you can’t miss, scroll to the bottom of the page to find out how to sign up!
