Class Description

Gen X photographers, meet Gen Z seniors. It’s time to be authentic and intentional with how you approach these kiddos.

If you aren’t creating an experience, you won’t stay booked. Spend a week with me and learn the systems I’ve refined over 23 years.

Sure, it’ll include a healthy dose of intentional lighting and natural posing prompts but be ready to level up your marketing strategies via Instagram and TikTok. Yep, I said it. Get on TikTok and get your face on BTS clips whether you like it or not. That’s where your seniors are.

Get fancied up because you will be recorded for your channels leave with post-ready content. I start early, end late, and deliver a week of creative cardio. We will create magazine-worthy editorial portraits and dynamic sportraits that brand the athlete so bring your wagon of gear.

Expect live demos, hands-on shooting time, and private Q&A conversations where you can ask Alison anything industry related, get your images critiqued, or collections reviewed. You’ll also learn the various ways Carlino’s utilizes AI to streamline workflows, spark creative ideas, and write copy that has the heart and humor of your business in mind.

Carlino’s Photography overhauled our social channels, website, and collections over the summer of 2026 and by the time Texas School rolls around, I’ll present months of data to back up what you’re learning. A real business producing real results.

Come for the lighting and posing. Stay because your marketing needs an intervention.
