2026 Senior Rep Meet & Greet | Shanon Tessier Photography

The Class of 2026 STP Senior Reps are here!

I recently hosted our first official Meet & Greet for this year’s Senior Rep Team, and I’m still smiling from all the laughter, energy, and amazing connections that were made. This event kicks off our senior rep experience — and if this was any sign of what's to come, we're in for a phenomenal year! Their shirts say, My four Reps, Maddie, Natalie, Rose and Lilli are wearing one of the gift I gave them that day. These are t-shirts that say, "We Rise by Lifting Others" and has my logo on the back.

Welcoming the Team: Seniors 2026

The goal of the day was simple: get to know one another, have fun, and set the tone for an unforgettable senior year. We started with a casual pizza hangout and some special welcome gifts. Each rep received a custom bag of goodies to celebrate their new role in the STP Senior Representatives.

The Thrift Store Challenge

One of the highlights of the day? The thrift store outfit challenge! The reps were tasked with pairing up with another girl and telling her to stop and she had the wear that outfit. They were given at LEAST 2 chances (or more if they didn't fit etc.) There were definitely some standout moments (and a few fashion risks!), but more than anything, it was a chance to let loose and bond over shared laughter and the chances of what they didn't know was coming! All in all I think every outfit was actually pretty decent, especially for random picks!

Behind the Lens

We wrapped things up with a fun group photoshoot and some individual shots on the playground— our first of many together this year. Watching these seniors support and get to know one another made me happy. They’re not just here for the photos; they’re building real friendships and confidence, and I’m so proud to capture it all.

What’s Next?

This was just the beginning! Throughout the year, we’ll be creating content, exploring new locations, and telling each senior’s unique story through beautiful, personalized sessions. My STP Rep Team is an important part of my brand — and I can already tell that this group is going to bring the heart, personality, and creativity that make it all so worth it. The next blog post will show all our July 4th Senior Session photos! Be on the lookout. You will be the first to know.

Thank you to my amazing 2026 reps — you’ve already made this year special. I’m so honored to have each of you on this journey.

Let the fun begin!
