Needed: Style-Minded & Inspiring Teen Girls | Class of 2017 Twin Cities Style Team

It's time again!  Time to connect with amazing teen girls from across the Twin Cities! 

We're looking for upcoming high school senior girls to join our Class of 2017 "Senior Scene Style Team."



What does that mean exactly?
We need inspiring girls from across the Twin Cities who are willing to tell us what they think about trends, fashion, and photo ideas (via short and sweet surveys online).  This final team of style-minded gals will receive adorable gift packs (yep, vintage snail mail) in exchange for enlightening us with their thoughts!  This is a no risk opportunity -- there is no cost or commitment.  Just a chance for you to share your thoughts with us, get free stuff, and join a like-minded community of other soon-to-be-senior girls.


Who's eligible?
Any Twin Cities girl who will be graduating from high school in 2017 is welcome to apply.


How do we apply?
You simply click on this link HERE and tell us about yourself.  We promise never to sell or share your contact information, it's for the application process only.


How do we find out if we've been selected?
We'll narrow it down to a select group of Style Team Panelists sometime in May and will email our applicants then.


What if we don't get accepted?
Don't worry - we think you're awesome too! We just have limited space and are looking for girls who will be the best fit for this role.  We'll notify you either way.


What if we do get accepted?
As a Style Team Panelist, we'll be sending you a series of 3-5 super short surveys over the summer and fall, and we look forward to hearing your opinions!  We may also offer Facebook or other social media contests or challenges that we hope you'll interact with.  It's all very simple and fun.


Do we get anything for being part of the Style Team?
In addition to the anticipation of getting your select gift pack in the mail, you'll receive some exclusive offers if you're interested in booking a senior picture experience with Feather Blue Studios.  But don't worry -- there's no obligation or pressure to book anything with us, just think of it as a bonus if it's a good fit for you.


Can I add this to my resume or college applications?
If you're interested in taking your Style Team participation to the next level, this year we are excited to offer the opportunity to work with "Style Team Reporters" on small writing gigs, video projects, social media interaction, and other creative collaborations, similar to a mini internship. In exchange, you'll gain experience and we'll offer a recommendation testimonial about your role as a Style Team member.  If you are interested in this next-level opportunity, please check the box on your Style Team application.  (This is entirely optional, so don't worry if it doesn't fit your skill-set or interests).


Why do you offer this opportunity?
Because it makes us be better at what we do!  Staying in touch with teen girls like yourself helps us learn more about what you love, right now.  We enjoy hearing what you're passionate about, what gets you excited, what styles make you smile, and what trends you might like to see for senior pictures in the future.



Is there anything else I should know?
Nope, that's it... we are so excited to hear from you soon!  Simply fill out the Style Team application HERE and stay tuned via email for a note from us sometime in May.


Go Class of 2017!

New Year, New Goals, New Plans! | Photography & Creative Services Twin Cities MN

Happy New Year friends!  

Wishing you a 2016 filled with many moments of joy -- don't forget to celebrate each of them, especially the little ones.

Here at the studio January brings equal lull and buzz.  There's some quiet and downtime after the huge rush of the Christmas season, yet the buzz of new things to come.  I personally love the start of a new year, and all of the planning and anticipation that it brings.



And with that, I'm excited to announce that new things are to come!  Such as:

1. A new salon and beauty-business program -- photography and branding solutions for stylists and beauty professionals -- launching in February or March!  More info coming soon...

2. A new studio website and some branding updates -- no final timeline yet, but the current website has seen it's better days, no doubt.  And as the studio expands to offer more marketing and branding services for small businesses, the look and feel will follow.

3. A new emphasis and photography offerings -- Fashion-tailored family sessions with a look-book included?  Yes please!  More lifestyle and commercial photography services will be available as well.  And a wide array of creative services (like design & writing) will be available too!

As always, thanks for a year of inspiration and support!  Looking forward to this new year, and wishing you the same anticipation and quiet-joy.

Many Blessings,
Shannon

Welcome Charity! | New Communications Intern at Feather Blue Studios

We wanted to take a minute and welcome Charity to the Feather Blue Studios team!  She’s currently on board as a Communications Intern, and has already been helping out here at the studio for a few weeks.

New Intern at Feather Blue Studio Modern Photography
With an outgoing personality, creative mind, and background in communications, public relations, and yep, hair-styling, she’s bringing lots to the studio and learning lots too!  I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Charity on a personal level for several years, so having her join the studio for a little while is quite the treat. 

Want to know more about her?  You’re in luck!


The “Meet Charity” Interview:

Q: Where are you going to school?
A: I graduated Regency Beauty Institute four years ago and have been a licensed cosmetologist ever since. I am currently in my last year at the University of Northwestern – St. Paul working on a BA in Public Relations. I love coloring hair and also writing papers.  Strange but true.



Q: What did you do this summer?
A: This summer I had an internship working for a directors firm in Shanghai, China. I spent 2 months navigating the city (mostly by subway!), visiting market places and eating delicious food. My love for China increased almost as much as my love for street fried dumplings, and that is saying a lot.

Q: What extracurricular activities do you do?
A
: Speech team!! I love it! I compete for UNW and I always keep my eyes peeled for poetry slams.

Q: What is one weird fact about you?
A: I am allergic to exercise. Literally. I have a rare condition called sports induced anaphylaxis. Hopefully the zombie apocalypse doesntt come anytime soon otherwise I am toast!

Q: So you dont play sports, do you watch any?
A: Yes, but only one: baseball. Go Twins!

New Intern at Feather Blue Studio Modern Photography


Q: Tell us about your family.
A: I am the oldest of 4 kids. I have two brothers and a sister. My sister and one of my brothers are twins! They are only 2 years younger than me. I am sure my mom had tons of fun with 3 kids in diapers at once!
