How do we do that? We take their senior pictures ALL SENIOR YEAR LONG with friends!

“Ella had an incredible experience with Leah! From the second they met, Leah helped her feel beautiful and seen exactly as she is. Leah empowers young women to be comfortable in their bodies without judgment or comparison. While we expected to pay for the pictures, we never could have anticipated the investment that the experience would provide for Ella and her future. Truly beautiful photos, magical moments and a joy-filled adventures with memories that we will cherish forever.”

TEAM RAVES

Kennedy - Team 2023

“Girls! You just HAVE to do it! It is seriously the best decision I have ever made. You get to make so many new friends and Leah is just the BEST photographer ever. Yes, the pictures are great, but SHE IS GREAT and so fun to hang out with. We have a bunch of different shoots - some are individuals, some are small groups, and some are with everyone. All of them are so much fun! I seriously can not emphasize it enough on how amazing being on this team is my senior year. I wish I could go through it again.”

FAQ

I am involved in a lot of extra-curricular activities. Can I still join?

YES YES YES YES!!!!!! I have found a PERFECT schedule that allows for almost ANY schedule.

In the summer, we only shoot on Thursdays. And during the school year, we only shoot on Sundays! My girls also get ALLLL the dates for the year at our first meeting in March. I give everyone PLENTY of time to plan ahead.

Do scheduling conflicts happen? Yes. But, we figure it out as we go.

***Note: On my Team 2023, I had a girl who was gone ALL summer at a swimming camp in Indy. And, we STILL made this team work for her!

Do I have to pay all at once or can I create a payment plan?

I have two options for your convenience:
1. You pay $400 to reserve your spot on the team, then the remaining balance is due the week of our first team meeting in March.
OR
2. You pay $400 to reserve your spot on the team, then I will evenly break up your collection package over 16 months from February 2025 to our cap and gown session in May 2026.

When is the $400 due?
Sign Ups will open for the public in November 2024. Once you're officially ready to secure your spot on the team, the $400 will be due.

I don't have any friends signing up with me, so I am second guessing being a part of the team. Should I still sign up?

ABSOLUTELY! Most of the girls who sign up know NOBODY before the team starts. We become a FAMILY that supports each other and cheers each other on!

I will be honest. I have heard "I wish I did the team now that I see the fun. But, I didn't because I was afraid of not knowing anyone." Learn from those before you and JUST GO FOR IT!

Can I pay more up front to create smaller monthly payments?

Absolutely!!! We can customize your payment plan however you prefer.

Does this price include products?

It does NOT include tangible products - prints, canvases, albums. HOWEVER, I now have an online store connected to every gallery where you can purchase products that will come directly to your home.

NOTE: These are printed by the BEST printing company in the country. They will be perfect.

Where is Leah Blyly Photography located?

I am based in Middlebury, Indiana!

However, our shoots can take us anywhere. My teams in years past have travelled to Grand Rapids, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Saint Joseph, and more!

Wait, does this team include typical senior pictures?

Yes!!! This team ALSO includes an Individual Senior Picture session completely customized to YOU!

You also get FIRST dibs on Leah's individual dates so we make sure that you get the session of your dreams!

Are you having leading ladies?

Due to being a new momma as of December 2024, I will NOT be having Leading Ladies for Team 2026.

HOWEVER, I will have a travel opportunity open to the whole team. Details for this opportunity will become available in March 2025.

Team 2024 - NYE Session

ATTENTION!! STOP!! PLEASE READ!!!

WHY IS THERE NO SELECTION PROCESS FOR 'YEAR-ROUND SENIORS'?


In past years, I have had a selection process to make sure that my team has involved a LARGE variety of race, culture, extra-curricular, school district, body type, height, etc. 


While I do want this to be a very diverse group, I am no longer going to have a selection process and here is why:


I am a HUGE advocate for girls being given a clean slate and a no judgement zone. That is hard to come by in our world, especially in high school. So, by having an application process and turning girls down in the past, I was accomplishing the exact opposite of my passion. Everyone deserves a chance to grow in confidence and to have a fresh start. 


PLEASE READ ON!!!


I want to make sure that the girls on my team really want to be there. My team is so much more than just photos! We are a group of girls that grow together all year through thick and thin. I watch my team's confidence blossom through our 15 months together, and it is VERY important to me that the girls on my team understand that the team is SO much more than just BOMB and BEAUTIFUL pictures.


I take my team VERY VERY seriously and drama is never tolerated. My team is to be a safe space for girls and a space that brings LIGHT and POSITIVITY to their senior year. I have asked team members to give up their place in the past due to drama. It is absolutely not tolerated.


With this new year having little to NO application for my 'Year-Round Seniors' team, it is YOUR job to understand that being a part of this team is being an advocate for Leah Blyly Photography and a good face to the name. 


With all of that being said, we will go over more of this during our initial meeting in March.
