MODEL CALL — HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS!

Studio 21 has been selected for a special Homecoming fashion collaboration, and I’m looking for TWO high-school girls to model for an editorial-style photo session!

Class of 2027 seniors are especially encouraged to apply, and if you haven’t had your senior pictures taken yet, even better!

I’m looking for girls who are:
• Currently in high school
• Comfortable being photographed and appearing on social media
• Excited about fashion, styling and a fun editorial experience
• Available for a professionally styled session at Studio 21 or on-location

Hair and makeup, wardrobe sizing, scheduling and all the fun details will be coordinated with the models selected.

Under 18? Parent/guardian permission will be required.

Interested? Send me a private message with:
✨ Your name
✨ High school & grade
✨ A recent photo
✨ Approximate dress size
✨ Whether you’ve already had your senior pictures taken

Feel free to tag a senior who would be PERFECT for this!
