Are you tired? Do you look wistfully back to the days when we didn’t have to load our social media with never ending posts to stay in front of your client’s face?

The Teacher

Kia owns one of the top senior photography studios in the country, and she navigated it through the biggest changes in the photography industry - film to digital, print advertising to social media, booming business to recession to minimalism. As you saw through these years, Kia is a consistent source of energy and creative ideas. Be a part of her excitement, so you can breath new life into your portrait business.

The process

Each year, Kia shoots fresh and fashionable images for her high school senior models. She uses those images for her social media advertising campaigns. You are invited to come to Kia’s studio and shoot alongside her during one of these StyleMuse magazine photo shoots. Kia will also teach her studio workflow, from an aspirational photoshoot to booking, selling, image processing and framing the final products. Kia will even do a demo of her favorite senior posing flow with a regular senior session.


What you will get

You will walk away from this workshop with fresh fashion ideas for your senior photography, new tips and approaches to studio workflow, a better understanding of the Gen Z senior client (and their parents!), a workable plan for your own senior social media and darling images to jumpstart your 2022 senior gallery.
