Your senior year isn’t just another chapter—it’s the moment before everything changes. It’s a time to celebrate you, your accomplishments, your friendships, your growth, and your creativity. That’s why my senior portrait sessions aren’t just about snapping a few pretty pictures. They’re a full-blown, confidence-boosting, memory-making experience. But what if I told you that your senior photos could be just the beginning?
Enter the Creative Dream Team
So...what IS Creative Dream Team? — It's an exclusive opportunity for the high school seniors who book a Signature Experience with me, to go beyond their individual session and take part in fun, styled photoshoots all year long! Some sessions are my own creative ideas! Some are seasonal. Some are just for fun, because a student pitched an idea and we all loved it! Whether you want to model, help behind the scenes, or collaborate on creative ideas, this team is all about bringing artistic visions to life and making magic and art together.
A Creative Space Where Everyone Belongs
This program isn’t about being a “model.” It’s about celebrating creative self-expression, confidence-building, and connection. Whether you’re someone who loves being in front of the camera or you’re more into the behind-the-scenes magic—Dream Team is here to welcome you! I believe creativity thrives in an inclusive and supportive space, where everyone feels free to be themselves.
Who was Creative Dream Team created for?
Dream Team is for all of us! Instead of casting strangers for promo shoots, I’d rather collaborate with the amazing seniors who’ve already trusted me with their portraits. This means giving back to you, with a variety of exclusive photoshoot opportunities, and a chance for me to bring my own creative ideas to life—while also lifting up local SoCal artists and local Orange County brands we love. It's win-win!
Most Dream Team members are creatives—think theater kids, dancers, musicians, writers, and vocalists—but if you’ve booked a Signature Session, have an inclusive heart, and a positive social media presence, you’re more than welcome to join the fun!
Step into a Styled Shoot—Or Help Create One!
Dream Team members get first dibs on participating in themed shoots. Past members are called on once current seniors are given a chance to participate first. Most of the shoots are complimentary! If there is a special location fee or a road trip involved, members who choose to go can split the cost (the shoot, itself, is still free!) Here are just a few we’ve done:
The Summer of Barbie Shoot – Just a week before the movie dropped, we went all out with this pink-powered, high-fashion Barbiecore photo shoot. Think bold color pops, retro fashion, Weird Barbie and Ken! This concept was requested by a dream team member and we pulled the entire shoot together in two days! It took place in Costa Mesa, California, and the session, hair and makeup, styling, and images were entirely complimentary to participating team members!
Randyland, Los Angeles Road Trip – Sometimes, a creative vision takes us on the road! This shoot was all about bold, surreal colors, editorial style, a glass artist, and a book called Nina's Glass Dragon! It took place in one of LA’s unique hidden gems I found on Instagram @RandylandLA.
Dream Team members got the chance to explore this colorful and artsy Echo Park, Los Angeles art installation while creating images that felt straight out of a magazine! This session had a location fee and a student's mom generously gifted the fee. The session and images were still complimentary to all who participated, and I provided concept, styling, and organizing!
The Halloween Shoots – These were cinematic, moody masterpieces. We leaned into dramatic lighting, eerie locations, fog effects, and stunning themed wardrobe pieces, creating a spooky, vintage-fashion eclectic vibe.
Our annual Halloween marketing shoot was eclectic glam-witch with a purple theme (Think Fleetwood Mac meets Hocus Pocus styling), while a student-led spooky session rocked campy Wednesday Addams themed aesthetics with hand carved pumpkin heads — both were so fun! These sessions were local to Orange County (Aliso Viejo) and Riverside County (and both the images and the sessions were absolutely free!) You can find more past Halloween shoots HERE and HERE!
The Earlier You Book, The More You Get!
The earlier you secure your senior session for senior year, the more Dream Team opportunities you’ll have throughout the year! If you want to maximize your experience, the best way is to book in spring for a summer session—this gives you the most chances to participate before your senior year even begins. We often try to do one Spring wildflower shoot and mini road trip sessions usually take place in summer season.
All Dream Team sessions are optional based on member's availability. Every year, new ideas come to life, and Dream Team members even get to contribute their own concepts!
