The LWP Senior Spokesmodel team has been a labor of love for me over the last seven years! Getting to know so many incredible local seniors has been an amazing gift. Now it’s that time of year for the next round of seniors to apply to be part of this highly-sought after program! If you haven’t caught on yet, I couldn’t be more thrilled to have applications goes LIVE today, February 4th, for my 2026 senior spokesmodel team! YAY, Right!?! After eight years of working with AMAZING seniors, testing what works, what I need to improve on, and finding a way to bring local seniors from all over central Illinois together for an unforgettable experience, I think the 2026 Class of spokesmodels is in for a fantastic adventure!
What Is The LWP Spokesmodel Program All About?
The idea behind the spokesmodel program is to bring together a team of outgoing, energetic, well-rounded seniors, who are willing to be a part of styled shoots, attend events for team building, refer other seniors to my business, and have the opportunity to win prizes like CASH! I’m currently planning a few styled shoots, which will involve coordinating outfits, and fun themes to showcase you as an individual spokesmodel and as a senior team. And these photo shoots are on top of your own senior photos. BONUS! So the incredible opportunity for receiving many fantastic and Instagram worthy photos is beyond measure!
What Do I Receive As a Class of 2026 LWP Senior Spokesmodel?
*Attendance at the meet and greet event on Sunday, April 13th, 2025 as well as multiple other senior spokesmodel events throughout the year
*ONE complimentary team session. An hour of shooting and 1-2 outfit changes with a full gallery of 40+ high-resolution digital images from the shoot. This shoot will take place on Sunday, June 1st (Backup date of June 8th if there’s bad weather). If a senior is unable to attend on that date, they are forfeiting this team session.
*For every referral a senior spokesmodel makes, the senior will be entered into a drawing to win $250 at the end of 2025. The spokesmodel with the most referrals by December 1st, 2025 will win $250 cash. The spokesmodel must have at least 3 referrals to be eligible to win the cash prize. A referral is defined as a senior portrait session booked with signed contract and retainer. Weddings and family sessions booked on referrals will not count towards the cash prize.
*The senior spokesmodels shall participate in at least one styled shoot throughout the duration of the program and will receive digital files from the shoot.
*The senior spokesmodel will receive a blog feature showcasing their full senior portrait session. This blog feature shall be published on Lauren Westrich’s blog. Only spokesmodels will have a blog feature.
*The opportunity to win additional prizes, gift cards, as well as model for additional events and styled shoots during the year.
What Are The Requirements of a LWP Spokesmodel?
*Pay the $900 payment to participate in the senior spokesmodel program. This is the cost of your full senior portrait session, which goes towards your own individual senior session. This is the only fee associated with the spokesmodel program for the duration of the program. (The value of all sessions & events is $2,500, but you only pay $900 for your individual session.)
*Refer multiple people including friends and family to use Lauren Westrich Photography
*Publish behind-the-scenes shots and social media sneak peeks on all social media outlets Lauren has a profile on, including but not limited to, Facebook and Instagram. These posts will include the hashtags #laurenwestrichphotography, #laurenwestrichseniors, #lwpseniorspokesmodels, and #lwp2026 and will encourage followers/friends to book with Lauren. A minimum of 2-3 posts is required each month.
