I can't believe it's time to start gearing up for year seven of my Senior Rep Team, The Candid Crew AND year four of THE CANDID AMBASSADOR TEAM. Last year, we changed things up and had 1 guy and 1 girl as our Candid Touch Influencers. I loved what we were able to accomplish and the changes we made. I'm going to miss Bryce and Hailee but I'm super eager to meet my new Influencers for the Class of 2026.
The Candid Touch Senior Rep Program is all about empowering young people, building confidence, having amazing one-of-a-kind portrait experiences, and being an ambassador for the Candid Touch Photography Studio. I want Reps who are enthusiastic, up for anything, and love photography. I want reps who are looking for portraits that will stand out from the crowd and are eager to try new things! I want reps that want to SHARE THEIR AMAZING EXPERIENCE WITH THEIR FRIENDS. I want Seniors that are willing to step outside their comfort zones and have an AMAZING TIME.
What I've learned from the last six years; this experience is far more than just pretty portraits. We have fun, we grow together, and we make amazing memories. Many of my previous Rep and Ambassador members have expressed to me over the years how much their confidence has grown through this program. This program builds friendships with fellow reps and creates an environment where each Seniors is encouraged to celebrate what makes them unique. My heart is full knowing that through my passion, the art of photography, I can make a difference in these young men and women's lives.
Four years ago, I added on another dimension to this program. The Candid Community gives back project was born. I encouraged my reps and ambassadors to get involved with their communities, help collect donations for local non-profits, and make a difference. What an AMAZING SUCCESS. Not only did they volunteer their time but they helped deliver over 5000 items to local non-profits. YES OVER 5000 ITEMS to help make a HUGE difference. These young men and women are truly amazing and I'm excited to continue this portion of the Rep and Ambassador Team!
Who can apply for the program?
This is an amazing opportunity for current juniors who'd love to have their senior portrait experience with Candid Touch Photography & Design. Not only will we design a one of a kind portrait session for each of our reps and ambassadors but all members will receive special bonuses for being a senior rep/ambassador, will be able to participate in highly stylized model sessions, and additional outfits for your personal portraits. Reps and ambassadors will earn points through participation and the winner of each team will receive a college scholarship from the studio. These are just a few of the many perks of being a Senior Rep / Ambassador.
There is some work involved! Senior Rep members and ambassadors are REQUIRED to spread the good word about all things Candid Touch, share their portraits on social media, and recruit fellow class of 2026 seniors for their senior portrait experience as well. The more the merrier!
This year's stylized sessions are in the works and I'm so excited to try some new ideas this year! All crew members will receive additional portraits from these sessions to add to their own personal portrait gallery. My stylized sessions are highly sought after and totally over the top. The crazy ideas I have in my head finally come true! Be apart of all the craziness!
Each year I receive a few dozen applications for the Candid Crew program. Unfortunately, I can't take everyone for the rep team because of the amount of detail and time the team requires. Moving forward for the class of 2025, I have decided to continue with a smaller team. Don't let this deter you from applying. If you aren't selected, you will receive a bonus for applying for the program to put towards booking your Senior Experience with the Candid Touch Studio. So if you're interested or know a current junior who may be interested, please email me at info@candidtouch.com to start the application process and gather all the information. The deadline for applications is 11:59 PM Sunday, January 12th 2025. So get moving and let's get the Candid Crew rolling! Bring on senior portrait season!
Selections will be notified by February 1st 2025.
Maybe the Rep Team isn't a fit for you but you're still wanting to have your Senior Portrait Experience with Candid Touch Photography; book now! We are only taking 25 seniors in 2025. To ensure I can provide the same one on one care and focus to each of my seniors, we limit the number of senior clients each year. Once those 25 spots are filled, that's it! So book early, BOOK NOW! Currently 20 spots are still available.
