Nothing to loose, only fun memories to gain...
I know the DFW area is full of incredibly talented photographers . Seriously, you’ve got so many amazing options, and that’s a beautiful thing! You are 100% welcome to work with other photographers and even join other teams alongside this one. This isn’t about exclusivity — it’s about community. My goal is to create space for connection, confidence, and creativity… and for every girl to feel supported, celebrated, and seen.
While I do encourage everyone on the team to show up for scheduled shoots, I also know that life can get a little (or a lot) crazy sometimes. If you’ve got a scheduling conflict, it’s totally okay — I promise. This program is here to add joy to your high school experience, not stress. Let’s keep it fun, flexible, and full of heart.
Hey there,
I'm so happy that you're interested in The Collective : Underclass Edition. If you've submitted your application, you'll be hearing back from me within 48 hours.
If there's anything I can do to help you in this process - whether it's clarifying the program, answering questions, or just being your personal hype girl - I'm truly here for you! Don't hesitate to reach out.
XO,
Erica
