Finding Senior Reps!

Finding Senior Reps!

 Senior rep time is my FAVORITE time of year! Behind the scenes starts way in advance on planning and prepping! 





Getting to know these young girls is my highlight! Everyone I meet is so much fun and exciting with vibrant personalities!



Why are each of my girls unique?








Kenzie has a light about her. She's very sweet and puts others in front of her. She's sporty and girly all at the same time. 






Jade is spunky! She has a presence about her that makes her stand out. She thinks she's bashful… but I'm not buying it!







Annika is happy and passionate for life. I had the pleasure of meeting her last year and was happy 
to see her apply for this program. She's a country girl at heart!










Annie has my favorite kind of style- boho/prep! Love her genuine personality. She's smart and sporty!









Haley is fun and inspirational. She's sporty, musical and artistic! She has a happy and lovely personality!









Shanta is smart and quirky! I was drawn to her cute personality and enthusiasm for learning and seeing what's out there! 






Darian has an enthusiastic personality that's infectious! She has a love for volleyball and her mom's cinnamon streusel muffins!








Maddie has a comfy, cute and trendy style. She loves photography, boating and shopping (could this be my long lost twin?)













Bailee is country and girly! She has a passion for life and loves her friends and family.  Her personality is fun and energetic!











Sadielee is such a cutie. She has a vintage/creative side about her. She's sporty and girly at the same time!











Kiley has a bright personality that lights a room when she enters it! She's a country girl with country roots! 










Mekaelah is happy and goofy and has an infectious laugh! She loves volleyball and of course the Seahawks!















Daisy has a classic beauty. She loves to sing and play guitar. She's happy and loves being with her friends and family!






Giulia is European descent and I love that about her! Her style is preppy chic and lots of polka dots! 

  












Herminia is overall goofy and happy. Her love for her family shows in every conversation! She's sporty and trendy and has a love for fashion!






Bianca is very girly girl with a love for all styles. She's involved with international clubs and leadership! I see her doing lots of traveling in her future!

Marketing and branding!

I wanted to start out the new year with a bang! I needed to brand my business and create marketing materials for my upcoming year. So, I got together with my friend Jackie from www.3dotdesignstudio.com (she's seriously amazing… and incredibly talented!)

Up first… making my website look awesome! I'm not a web-designer… and my skills were seriously lacking. Jackie helped put all the tools together to make it become what it is today. To check it out go to www.marqueldodson.com .

My Welcome Packets were next! I wanted a modern vintage feel to my packaging (actually I wanted a lot of things… but Jackie helped narrow it down for me!)

Each Welcome Packet is personally stamped with my "Uniquely You" slogan and then wrapped in twine around the binding.

The inside consists of all my information! Who my stylists are, package sessions and print pricing + a Session Guide!

The Session Guide has to be one of my favorite things about the Welcome Packet- the front side shows tons of different options for styles/locations/props & the flip side are tips to read through before your session! 


Lastly… the finishing touch! After a print purchase, each person will receive a personal box with so many goodies!
Continuing my "Uniquely You" personalized stamp over to my boxes & also adding personal mini cards with clever messages wrapped in twine.

Each box has a variety of goodness depending on your order. Thank you cards, Caring for your Art, USB flash drive with Canvas bag, Referral Cards & a bit of yumminess- chocolate bars… because who doesn't love chocolate?
