CAROL'S CREW HIGH SCHOOL REP TEAM
What is Carol's Crew?
Carol's Crew is Northern Colorado's most exclusive high school rep team for Freshmen, Sophomores, and 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 We Are Looking For
Carol's Crew welcomes girls and guys 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. Carol has 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 shoots and special events at locations across Northern Colorado throughout the year. Sessions are held quarterly, so the commitment is light and works 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 once a year in January. 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!

Crew Member Testimonials
I'm honored to have been chosen by our senior clients, and their parents, to be their photographer of choice to capture this
once-in-a-lifetime milestone. Here are some kind words from some of Carol's Crew members that I have worked with:
Carol's Crew Parent Testimonials
When my daughter first approached me about joining the CDP Senior Rep Modeling Team, I wasn't a fan of the idea at first. But after meeting with Carol, seeing her work and getting more details about the Rep team, I knew it would be an amazing experience for Delaney. Carol put all my reservations at ease. At out first session, I was immediately impressed with Carol's professionalism and the ease in which she was able to give posing direction and suggestions. I had the good fortune to be able to attend the team sessions and capture some "behind the scenes" pictures and videos for Carol, and I think I might have had more fun than the kids did! My daughter also got to participate in community service projects that she could use towards her graduation requirements!
Carol was amazing at helping us choose the perfect locations for Delaney's senior shoot and was open and receptive to my thoughts and ideas about poses and what I'd like to see in her photos.
When we got to see all of the photos I was completely blown away by how beautiful they were! Carol managed to capture not just my daughters image, but her spirit as well. All of the products we got are superb quality, but the curved metal and photo album are my absolute favorites!
I can honestly say that working with Carol has been one of the best parts of this year. With every session, I saw my daughters self confidence grow a little. I look forward to working with Carol again next year when my younger daughter is a Senior. (and now I have her son!)

Carol offers an ease to the initial jitters of being in front of the camera. My son's initial shoot as part of her model team was done where he loved. The opportunity to participate in so many shoots as part of the model team has left me with so many more options. His senior session caught his personality and offered some artistic looks as well. I love that Carol goes above and beyond. My family shoot was interesting, but between weather and puppy problems, I still had so many options to choose from.
Alexis Kennedy
I love how unique and varied your photography is. You worked hard at capturing Hannah's personality and creating sessions to photograph her love of swimming and diving (which turned out great!), and photographing her with her beloved feline friends. I appreciate the varied settings throughout the seasons of the year, along with how you incorporated acts of service to the community as well with your reps. Your sessions were a lot of fun!
