In late January I attended the SPA 2011 Convention in Palm Springs, California where hundreds of photographers met to share ideas and learn from one another. We stayed at the Riviera Hotel as well as photographed the Top Models there and what beautiful decor and backdrops we had!!! I will share some images soon but what an incredible experience not only for us photographers but for the High School Senior Models who each represented photography studios from all over the United States and other parts of the world! Every year High School Seniors who become Senior Models for photography studios have a chance to win a trip to the SPA Conventions. They are photographed by photographers from around the world, treated like Movie Stars, they “Walk the Walk” in the Top Model SPA Fashion Show, see below, and AIG Model Managementis present at the SPA Convention. At this year’s SPA 2011 Convention, two high school seniors signed on with AIG Model Management, see video below of Ricardo and Kristen. Way to go!!!

If you are interested in becoming a High School Senior Model for our studio, please complete the Model Application. All High School Seniors have equal opportunity to qualify to win a trip to one of our Studio Destination Sessions this year to San Francisco or Vegas or win a spot next year to be photographed at the SPA 2012 Convention.

Here are a couple of videos created by SPA Member & Photographer Nick Sharples.
