Class of 2025 Senior Rep Program

What is a Senior Rep?
A member of the upcoming Class of 2025 at any local high school (Madison County, NY & surrounding areas / typically between Dewitt & N. Hartford) that wants to show off their senior portraits to friends and family!

What do I get?
You can earn a completely FREE session with just 4 referrals! Get 20% off just for applying, and an additional 20% off per referral (someone that gives your name when they book & complete a session).

JBrooks23 -47

Here’s how it works:

  • You’ll get 20% off your complete session just by applying!
  • Reps will receive REFERRAL CARDS, which are photos from your session printed with your name, and our contact information – to be handed out to friends and classmates. Tell your friends to mention your name when they book and they will ALSO receive a 20% discount off their session!
  • Every referral that books & completes their session using your name earns you another 20% off your session up to your total balance due. Which means if you refer FOUR classmates – your session and digital images will be 100% FREE. (Any remaining balance will be calculated in November to be due December 1, 2024.)
  • You’ll also earn a $10 PRINT CREDIT PER REFERRAL, with no limit. So if you refer 4 people you’ll get a $40 print credit. If you refer 20 people you’ll get a $200 print credit.

  • You must schedule and complete your session BY JUNE 1, 2024 so I can deliver your referral cards to you in time to pass them out before school lets out for the summer!
  • You and your parents or legal guardians must sign a MODEL RELEASE FORM. This gives me permission to use your photos.
  • Acceptance of your Rep status means that you AGREE to represent ONLY Marcellus Photo Etc, and that you will use these images as your senior pictures in your yearbook, etc!

  • Your PRINT CREDIT amount can be used toward print purchases through your Marcellus Photo Etc gallery only, and is not transferable to any other printing vendor. These purchases are subject to sales tax, and shipping costs – your print credit amount CAN be used toward these additional fees. Any unused print credit amount not redeemed by December 31, 2025 will be forfeited.

Important Note: Please do not apply any filters or otherwise alter your provided digital images. This is not to stifle your creativity, but simply because photos posted with a filter will not accurately represent the style of photography that your referrers can expect to receive from booking with Marcellus Photo etc.

A Belated Wonderland

I had the pleasure of photographing the Jenkins amongst their Festive Wonderland last month. You’ve probably been drawn to the glow of their yard, (near Moshers Farm and the Cobblestone Trading Company), they go all out for Halloween and Christmas every year. One thing is for sure… Becky & Brian definitely know how to get lit! (giggles in dorky puns)

A&R Family Photos

This family is literally they cutest! Thank you Dooley Family for coming out last weekend. The weather turned out amazing and if anything the sun made TOO much of an appearance, thank goodness for that one rain-free day!

Totally Pawsome

I had a good time getting to know these adorable girls and their sweet baby cousin. They were very serious little ladies but we bonded over our mutual love of Paw Patrol. They like Chase & Marshall best, in case you were wondering. Baby Lucas was having a rough go of it, but his squished up sad face is absolutely adorable. What a bunch of cuties!
