A creative casting call for magical portrait sessions with Serena Star Photography
Creative Model Call

I'm building a list of individuals and children who are open to being contacted for occasional creative photography sessions. These shoots are designed to test new backdrops, feature new wardrobe pieces, experiment with lighting, or create promotional content for the studio.

What to Expect:
- No session fee
- A small selection of edited images provided for your time
- 20% off additional purchases
- Access to my growing studio wardrobe, including fantasy and themed costumes
- The option to bring your own outfit or props for additional variety (not required)
Who I'm Looking For:
- Adults 18+ or children with parent/guardian consent
- People comfortable being photographed
- All body types, ages, and backgrounds welcome
- Being added to this list does not guarantee a session, but it means I may reach out when a specific look, age range, or personality is needed for a project — whether that’s next week or next year.
If you're interested in being considered, please fill out the form below and send:
- A recent photo of yourself (or your child)
- Note any specific styles or types of sessions you’re open to (fantasy, formal, seasonal, etc.)
