This isn’t just another senior rep program—it’s an opportunity to connect with other juniors and seniors, go on adventures, give back to the community, and be part of something special.

What Do Ambassadors have to Do?

Creator Team Expectations

Celebrating a team of representatives that work together as Creators for Giftbox Creations Photography.

Creators are part of a team that represent what it is like to work with Giftbox Creations Photography. This involves creating content for social media and marketing as well as maintaining a positive image while acting as a role model for underclassmen. I encourage everyone to share the images from each creative session, however; there is no minimum number of shares or referrals required. I do ask each team member to capture and create behind the scenes video and marketing content that I can share. There are also opportunities to earn product credit and other incentives.

As a representative of my brand, it is important to act in a respectful manner and to demonstrate the following core values:

  1. Respect – Be kind and professional in words and actions. Avoid offensive language or content.

  2. Health & Well-Being – Live substance-free and strive for balance in physical, mental, and emotional health.

  3. Community – Give back through volunteering, mentoring, and being a responsible citizen.

  4. Discipline – Stay committed to academics, work towards graduation, and maintain passing grades.

  5. Trust – Keep shared information private and respect confidentiality.

FAQs

Do I have to attend all Group sessions?

No. While attendance is encouraged to get the most out of the program, I realize this is not always possible. I try my best to notify you ahead of time for group sessions so that you can plan accordingly. Missing a session will not affect your ability to participate in future ones. However, refunds will not be given for missed sessions.

Can I buy all the images from the Group Sessions?

Of course! You’ll have the option to purchase all group session images at a discounted rate or buy individual images as you choose.

Do I get free Digital Files?

Creator team members receive all images from the team sessions as low-resolution files with a watermark to share on social media. High-resolution images and printing rights are available for purchase separately.

When does the Ambassador Program start?

The program typically runs from spring of junior year through graduation. Most group sessions take place during the summer and fall.

is there a minimum number of referrals required?

No. I do ask you to share images online to encourage others to check out my services. While there is no minimum, I do have incentives throughout the year to enable you to earn product credit as well as cash or gift cards.

Can I apply if I already had my Senior Portraits done elsewhere?

Unfortunately, no. This program is designed for seniors who choose me as their exclusive senior photographer.

Does this sound interesting?

Apply to be a creator!

Filling out the application is the next step! After that, I will send you some information to review and we will connect to discuss things further to determine if we are a good fit to work together.

Applications are open for the Class of 2026, but don’t wait! You don’t want to miss the first event!
