Northern Colorado's exclusive rep team for high school juniors.
Carol's Crew
More than a rep team. It's a community. Where confidence is built and memories are made.
What is Carol's Crew?
Carol's Crew is Northern Colorado's exclusive rep team for high school juniors - and it is unlike anything else out there. This is not about being an influencer or knowing how to pose. It is not about having the perfect look or a million followers. Carol's crew is about connection, growth, and creating something meaningful during one of the most important seasons of your life. Yes, you will get beautiful, styled photos. But what matters more is the experience behind them.
Who I Am Looking For
Carol's Crew welcomes girls from across Northern Colorado who are in good standing at their school and in their community, including homeschool students. Shy? Quiet? Never been in front of a camera before? Perfect! I have a gift for showing students what others already see in them, and the confidence that comes out of these sessions has to be seen to be believed.
No experience needed. No pressure. Just you, exactly as you are.
What to Expect
Crew members enjoy styled sessions and special events at locations across Northern Colorado throughout the year. Sessions are held quarterly, so the commitment is light and words around real schedules - because life is busy enough already. If you can make it to the Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, or Ault area a few times a year, distance is not an issue.
As part of Carol's Crew you will also have the opportunity to give back through community service and form genuine friendships with students from other schools across Northern Colorado. Many Crew members join solo. Others bring a friend. Both are always welcome.
How it Works
Applications open mid-January of your junior year. Crew members stay on the team until January 1st of their senior year, wrapping up with our annual Christmas Party. Spots are limited and they fill fast, so do not wait!
Ready to apply? Browse the page, then submit your application with a parent's approval. We will schedule a complimentary consultation with you and your parents to walk through everything together so you can decide if Carol's Crew is the right fit for you.
For the Parents
Carol's Crew is designed to be structured, positive, and completely respectful of your family's academic and personal commitments. Everything is clearly explained during your consultation so there are absolutely no surprises I look forward to meeting your family!
Carol's Crew members enjoy some pretty amazing perks throughout their time on the team, including:
A personalized Portrait Gallery App to share and store their images
A Custom Experience Guide to prepare them for every session
A special graduation gift from me, and a few more surprises I'll let you discover when you join!
To Qualify for Carol's Crew
You want me to photograph your senior portraits!
You are a high school junior in good standing at your school and in your community.
You are a fan of my work and follow me on social media.
Carol's Crew is an exclusive team. Members agree not to be photographed by or represent any other photographer or studio until graduation. This includes advertising for other photographers, even friends who are building their portfolio.
A couple of exceptions worth noting: if you are a signed model with an agency, reach out and we can discuss your situation. If you are on a sports team with a designated team photographer, that is completely fine - I get it!
Team Styled Sessions
Our team sessions are crazy fun, and spread throughout Northern Colorado, from Ault to Fort Collins, and Greeley to Loveland.
Carol put all my reservations at ease from the very first session. I was immediately impressed with her professionalism and the ease with which she gave posing direction. My daughter also got to participate in community service projects she could use towards her graduation requirements! With every session I saw my daughter's self confidence grow a little. Carol managed to capture not just my daughter's image, but her spirit as well. I can honestly say working with Carol has been one of the best parts of the year.

Individual Styled Sessions
There is never a dull moment! Carol and all the other girls made me feel very welcome and included. It has been a huge confidence boost for me. I couldn't recommend joining the team enough!

Every session has a story. Here's what happens when the camera turns around.
Behind-the-Scenes Fun
Carol made us each feel a part of something. Every session has been something new.

Not Your Average Portrait Experience
Not all portrait experiences are created equal. This is a full-service, boutique portrait studio where every session is guided, personal, and designed around you. From your very first consultation to the moment you unwrap your wall art or hold your album for the first time, you are taken care of every step of the way. Most families come back. That says everything.
