Erica Velasco Photographers is looking for high energy, outgoing, and involved high school juniors who will be graduating from any high school in the Rio Grande Valley area in 2011 (Harlingen, McAllen, Edinburg, Brownsville, etc). This is your opportunity to have your senior portraits taken for FREE and earn awesome photo rewards! A signed model release will be required by your parents. The process is selective and I will only choose one to two senior models per high school (one female and one male). If you’re interested in finding out more, please fill out this form.

Deadline to apply is June 20th. We will let all the chosen models know of their selection on June 21st.

Sessions will be held in the fall so you can share with your friends and get referral rewards!

So please apply and let your friends know!

I just want to wish everyone a safe and fun Holidays….or a Merry Merry Christmas! I will be in Arizona for Christmas, then flying home to Chicago for a surprise Birthday party for my grandmother…she’s turning 80! So I will be out of the office until Monday, December 28. I will be answering emails, but phone calls will be returned when I get back.

And because every post is best with a picture….this is what’s on deck…
