When I set out to build a spokesmodel program, I wanted the main goal to be building long-lasting, enduring relationships that would go beyond senior photos. While I love meeting new clients and designing sessions that represent them, getting to work with my spokesmodels is something that I really treasure. Jillian was one of my Class of 2022 spokesmodels, so I got to work with her for two amazing years. Her sister is graduating from college this year, so her mom and dad have both a high school senior and a college senior! It’s a special time in their lives. Jillian grew up living down the street from me, and it’s been so joyful watching her grow up into an incredible young woman. I am also so grateful to have her mom in my life as a dear friend.
Since I also had been blessed to do her sister’s senior session, it was important to Jillian that their sessions were individualized and customized so they weren’t too similar. Her sister’s shoot was at a horse farm, and Jillian wanted something a bit more urban with a city vibe. We found JUST the right spots for her multiple locations, including a beautiful sunflower field that we used for our spokesmodel group session. This sweet senior also loves applying and learning makeup trends, riding horses, and dancing. She shared that she has wanted to be an LGP spokesmodel since she was in ninth grade, and that seriously made my day (or year!). What a joy to know her on a personal and a professional level, and both of those sides of our relationship makes me so excited to see her step into adulthood. She will be attending University of North Florida, and she’s going to be an incredible asset to that school! I’m so proud of you, sweet Jillian.
