What is a Katie Hauburger Senior VIP?
From my individual senior session to being part of her Senior VIP Team, not only was it SO much fun, but I got tons of gorgeous images that I will get to cherish forever. Katie makes each session easy, fun, and run so smoothly. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for some AMAZING senior pictures."
"My senior experience with Katie was nothing short of perfect!
From Ella —
I had so much fun being apart of her team and some of the funniest girls I met were from this team. I will always be thankful for the memories we made at each shoot and for the experience that I had with Katie."
"From the beginning of senior year up until the end of senior year Katie took the best pictures!
From Megan —
Katie is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and is so dedicated to what she does. After being a senior model I now feel so much more confident in front of a camera. Katie always made the experience so fun! I will never forget my senior year and I’m so happy to have so many memories and even new friends that I would’ve never crossed paths with if it wasn’t for being a senior model."
"Being a senior model truly made my senior year!
From RILEY

The top responsibility as a senior VIP is to refer friends and family to Katie Hauburger Photography for their senior portraits. This includes sharing on social media frequently, as well as excitedly participating in senior VIP shoots and events. BUT the top priority is to empower and create an unforgettable senior year experience and build lifelong friendships!
Shares, spreads joy, & make new friends!
Every senior gets their own individual senior experience scheduled sometime during the year. You'll have the same experience as all #katiehauburgerseniors with a day just about you, your personality, and making your dream photos happen! We plan these sessions between the two of us so you get exactly what you're looking for. You also get first dips at my session dates before other seniors!
Personalized Individual Senior Experience, (allll about you!)
This is typically everyone's favorite part! We have multiple photoshoots throughout the year to make sure that you constantly have photos to share and are getting the most out of your senior year.
Every Senior VIP team gets a group mini session at the start of the program, a group shoot mid year and your own personalized senior experience! Along with the possibilty of additional photo shoots
Group photo shoots throughout the year!
