This year I will be attending my 10 year high school reunion. One of the most obvious side effects of growing older is lingering in nostalgia. Case in point; I have included my senior photo in the post. No comments please, I am well aware of how terrible the photo is. And no I didn't graduate in 1972- I just dressed like it that day. The point I'm trying to make here is simple, High School Senior portraits are not what they used to be! Today's seniors have the privileged of using photography as a art form and not just a historical (and embarrassing) record. Studio photography has evolved from your local department store cookie cutter photo factory with a selection of five backgrounds and zero chance of actually getting a decent photo into a high tech modern creative outlet. Digital and other photographic advances (radio flash technology, portable thermal printing, and of course Photoshop) has made the realm of possibility endless. Here a few examples.
These images represent what we do at Irene Jones Photography. We want to make real people look their best, show off their style and feel comfortable while doing it. I especially love working with seniors. You see I really found a love of photography in high school. Throughout that whole year I always had my camera at my side, and the same is true today.
For 2010 we have started a new referral program. Presently we are hunting for outgoing students graduating during the coming school year to help spread the word about our different photography packages and quality product. In exchange we are offering a free photo session and the opportunity for you to earn cash or photo credit towards purchasing prints. The friends you refer will earn free photos also, so everyone wins! It's a great program and our website has made referring as simple as following a link. Here's how it works.
1. Visit this link http://seniors.ijphoto.net/referral and complete the form to submit your application.
2. Once your application has been received you will be contacted by us to review the information and answer any additional questions we might have.
3. When your application has been accepted; we will contact you to book your Free Portrait Session. We like to contact our reps in a timely manner, so be expecting our call. Most of our reps are photographed on location and many times before the end of June. Your session will be between 1-2 hours in length and your photos will be online within 72 hours at our site for you to review.
4. About one week after your session you'll receive in the mail 50 personalized photo rep cards. These will have photos from your session included as well as your name, email address, link to our website, and coupon for 24 free wallets. It's now your job to get these cards into the hands of your friends so they can book their portrait session with us. Each friend that brings in their photo rep card will earn free prints for them and either $15 cash or $20 photo credit for you. You can also refer friends directly from our website with their email addresses. There is no limit to the number of friends you can refer online.
It's an easy way to put photos or cash in your pocket and share with your friends something you would probably have told them about anyways.
There are a few rules that you should know though. First off, we are limiting the number of reps from each school, so it's best to apply early (say NOW) if you want to get your free session. Second, you friends have to book a session. They must also bring in your photo rep card OR they must enter your email address when they visit our website through the link on their card or email. No other referrals will be counted.
Any questions? Let us know. Oh and don't forget to check out our new seniors only website!
