The High School Senior Market: A New Resource for Photographers
MCP Actions Website | MCP Flickr Group | MCP Reviews
Natalie Bacon has a fantasic new guide out to help those looking to break into the “senior market.” She has created a nitch in this marketplace in a short time and has some great information.
She will give $5 off anyone who puts “MCP” in the subject line of their payment. Instead of using her paypal buttons, just go to PayPal and send her $70 to natalie@photographybynatalieb.com. The guide is normally $75 so this sabes you $5. This is good through the end of April.
It is called Senior Solutions. I contributed a SENIOR Storyboard Action for her guide. So that means you have to check it out! Here is a preview of the template action I created exclusively for her guide.

Here are more details from her site:
This guide will take you from step one; designed to be a printable manual for you to reference.
It covers:
- Spokesmodels (The who, what, when, where and how to’s, as well as my program step by step)
