By April 4, 2025 No Comments

📣 High School Influencer Call:

 

Let’s Create the Ultimate Concept Shoot Together!

Hey high schoolers—this one’s for YOU! 🎉

Are you the creative one in your friend group? The one who’s always ahead of the trends, knows the best TikTok sounds before they blow up, and has a camera roll full of inspo pics from Pinterest?

If you’ve ever dreamed of bringing one of those ideas to life, this is your moment.

🎯 What I’m Looking For:

I’m launching a fun collaboration for two high school influencers (and their besties!) who want to help design and star in an unforgettable custom photo shoot with me—Jen McKen Photography.

But here’s the twist: YOU come up with the concept.
That’s right. I want to see your vision—from location to wardrobe, to the vibe, theme, and even the TikTok content we create behind the scenes.

This is a total collab, and I’m giving you full creative control (well, almost 😄).


🔥 What’s Included:

  • A complimentary custom concept photo shoot

  • Images to share on your social media

  • Behind-the-scenes content creation with me

  • A chance to be featured on my blog, website, and platforms

  • Bragging rights, obviously 😉


💡 What You Need To Do:

To apply, put together a fun, inspiring mini-pitch that includes:

  • An inspiration board (Pinterest, Canva, or mood board style)

  • Location idea (we’ll need permission to shoot there)

  • Outfits & styling (what would you and your friends wear?)

  • Hair & makeup ideas (trendy, natural, dramatic—it’s your call)

  • TikTok or Reel ideas to film behind the scenes (bonus points for creativity)

  • A short blurb about why you’d love to work with me!

  • Include your social media handles

 


✅ Requirements:

  • You must be a high school student from one of the surrounding schools (within a 3-county area)

  • Must include at least 3 friends (but no more than 5) who are willing to participate in your concept shoot with their names, ages, schools and graduation year.

  • You all need to sign a model release

  • No illegal or dangerous content (sorry, not that kind of viral )

  • Location must be somewhere we can shoot legally with permission

  • Shoots must be scheduled and completed by May 31st

  • You should be comfortable being on camera and social media


📆 Deadline to Submit:

Get your ideas in by April 21st. I’ll review all submissions and pick the two most creative concepts to bring to life! Submit by emailing to: jen@jenmckenphotography.com


🙌 What You’ll Walk Away With:

  • A one-of-a-kind creative experience

  • Killer content for your social media

  • Memories with your friends

  • A portfolio of photos that will have your followers obsessed

  • And a chance to say, “Yeah, I designed this whole shoot.”


✨ Let’s Make Magic!

This is your chance to show what you’re made of—and I can’t wait to see what you dream up.

If you’re interested in applying or have questions, DM me on Instagram at @jenmckenphotography or email me at jen@jenmckenphotography.com.
