The Every Senior Project
Every senior deserves to have their story captured.
Senior year is such a special chapter of life. It's a time of growth, change, accomplishments, and memories that deserve to be remembered long after graduation. But I also understand that professional senior portraits aren't always financially accessible for every family. I believe that shouldn't mean someone has to miss out on having this important milestone captured. That's why I'm starting The Every Senior Project, an annual initiative through Shots by Zoe Tamarä dedicated to giving one graduating senior a complimentary senior photography session.
Each year, I'll select one senior who would love professional portraits but whose financial circumstances make booking a session difficult. My hope is to give someone the opportunity to celebrate this chapter of their life and have photographs they can look back on for years to come.
This opportunity is for graduating high school seniors who would love professional senior portraits but cannot comfortably afford them due to their current financial circumstances. Whether your family is experiencing financial hardship, unexpected expenses, or other circumstances that make professional photography difficult to prioritize, I'd love to hear your story. You don't need to share anything you're uncomfortable with, and there is no perfect application. I simply want to learn a little about you, your circumstances, and what this opportunity would mean to you.
One selected senior will receive a complimentary senior photography session with Shots by Zoe Tamarä. There will be no session fee for the selected senior.
The session will include:
• A 30-minute senior photography session
• Professionally edited digital images through private gallery
• Up to 2 outfits and 1 location of your choice
• A personalized photography experience celebrating you and this milestone
• Only one senior will be selected each year
• Applications will be reviewed privately and stay confidential
• Applying does not guarantee selection
• Your personal story will never be shared publicly
• The session must take place within the agreed service area and scheduling availability
If senior photos are something you've been really wanting but haven't been able to afford, I'd love for you to apply. You deserve to celebrate this chapter of your life, too.
