Class of 2026 Senior Team Application

Class of 2026 Senior Team Application... It's your turn!

First off, thank you! I am so excited about your interest in wanting to be part of the Amanda Howse Seniors "Senior Team!" Below is the application to complete to apply for the AHPSeniors Senior Team. Please take a few minutes to fill this out and explain why you want to be part of the team (please complete all questions.)
BEFORE YOU START - I recommend that you complete all of the long answers in a Word Document and copy & paste the answers. Doing this on a computer will be easier, but you can also use your notes in your phone. Make sure to complete this in an actual web browser and not your Instagram browser!!

Why Choose Amanda Howse Seniors?

I believe that your senior photos should capture your authentic personality and who you are as a person. You deserve the absolute best senior photo experience possible and it is my promise to deliver that to you.

Amanda has also been published & featured in many different magazines, Instagram accounts and blogs.

The Process

After completing this application, there will be a second round in the application process which consists of a Parent/Senior meeting in person at a coffee shop or my studio and some additional interview questions. If you are one of the seniors that is selected, you will take part in a Parent/Senior meeting in the Spring (additional dates may become available as needed.) This is where I go over all of the details of becoming a part of the exclusive AHP Senior Team with you and your parents. By completing this application, this does NOT mean you are automatically part of the AHP Senior Team and must attend the Parent/Senior meeting!

Not only are you part of the most sought-after senior team, but you also have access to exclusives that regular Amanda Howse Photography Seniors don't. This is truly about you forming connections with other individuals and something more than just senior photos.

Frequently Asked Questions!

+ Does the Senior Team cost anything? Yes. I do offer a variety of collections to accommodate a range of budgets for my seniors as well as payment plans.

+ When will I know if I'm selected for the next round? You will be notified within one week of applying.

+ How long should my application be? It depends on the question! Answer it fully as best as you think, but short answers usually don't allow me to get to know you as well and may hinder your application. :)

+ Are there extensions to the application? Based on the timeline, I am unable to grant extensions to the Senior Team application. If you think you'll need a lot of time doing this, I recommend starting early!

+ How many individuals are on the team? It varies from year to year, but usually 20! I try to take as many individuals as possible, but also try and keep it so that the final team is small enough that everyone gets to know each other and form close connections with one another!

+ "I have lots of questions but think I am interested!" If you are interested but still have questions, APPLY. Don't worry.. before anything is finalized, we will have your in-person meeting and I will answer ALL of your questions during that time since there is a ton of information!

So in short, if you're interested, apply as nothing is final quite yet and we'll have lots of time to answer all your questions.

Once I receive a photo from each new team member, I will then announce them on my Instagram stories.

I can't wait to meet you!
