WANTED: High School Senior Ambassadors

If you (or someone you know) will a senior with the class of 2009 and would like to apply for consideration for a Senior Ambassador position, here are the details.

A Senior Ambassador is someone who will represent Rain Avenue Photography. I will choose 1 to 2 Ambassadors per school depending on the applicants. I will photograph your senior session for FREE (yes, that's right!). Shortly after the session, I will provide you with custom referral cards with some of the images from your session as well as a hard-cover book of all of the images from your session to show off. Show it to friends, family, anyone that you know that will need senior pictures done for 2009. Give them a referral card and when they complete their senior session with me, they'll turn in the referral card you gave them. You get an instant credit of $50.00 to go towards prints from your session! (Only good for prints, not valid for cash). And the person you referred will get 8 free wallets!

Also, if you refer 5 people (who of course complete their senior session), you will get 5 web-sized images to use for your Myspace/Facebook page!


AND - if you refer 15 people who complete their session, you will also earn a book with some of your favorite images to use as a guest book for your graduation party!


Email me at: info@rainavenuephotography.com


I will email you an application. Fill it out, sign it, along with your parents signature and mail it to the address on the application.


The deadline for applications is May 1, 2008.


Some important items to keep in mind:

  • You have to love being photographed.
  • Typical sessions take 2-3 hours but because we may do more for the Ambassador sessions, you may need 2 sessions.
  • You need to be outgoing. No -- you don't have to be the most popular -- this is not a popularity contest. But you cannot be afraid to talk to people --- because you're ultimately testing your selling skills!
  • You need to be open to trying whatever crazy idea I have in mind. (I'm thinking a field of mud would be pretty cool!)
And since I'm still working on the new website, here's a little preview of some of my past seniors.
