There is a unique kind of magic that happens when you step away from the mirror and into the spotlight. If you’ve been following our journey here at Capture Life Photography, you know that our Teen Team is so much more than just a series of pretty portraits. It’s a community, a confidence-builder, and for many, the highlight of their high school experience.
With 2026-2027 applications currently open, we wanted to pull back the curtain and show you exactly what it’s like to be part of the movement.
More Than Just a Model Team
When you join the CLP Teen Team, you aren't just signing up for photos; you’re stepping into a role as a leader and a change-maker. We look for teens who want to advocate for self-love and uplift those around them. Whether you’re an incoming freshman or a seasoned junior, this is your platform to grow your voice while building a stunning professional portfolio.
What’s Waiting for You?
Being a member means a year-long calendar of exclusive experiences that you won't find anywhere else:
Themed Concept Shoots: From our "Crowns and Gowns" series to festive trips to the Christmas tree farm, we create high-end, creative sets that make you feel like you've stepped onto a fashion editorial.
Teen Talks: Think of these as our version of TED Talks. We dive into real topics—confidence, friendship changes, and life skills—ensuring you grow on the inside as much as you do in front of the camera.
A Support System: You’ll meet girls from different schools and backgrounds who quickly become your biggest hype-girls. As Addy Ross from Southeast High School says, "Everyone just builds each other up so much. I love that it is such a positive atmosphere."
The Next Level: Perhaps the best perk? Being on the Teen Team earns you a guaranteed spot on our Senior Influencer team when the time comes!
