Model Application 

Wanna be a model? 

Each month, we select a model to participate in a special portrait project with Lara. When selection time comes, Lara will match one applicant with a creative vision that she has been planning to work on. This program allows you the opportunity to feel like a fashion model for a day, while Lara embarks on creating a beautiful and unique portrait to feature in her portfolio. 

How it works

If you're chosen, you'll receive a design consultation, portrait session, professional hair & makeup artistry for one person, and a viewing & ordering appointment. In some cases, we'll even provide some key wardrobe pieces. This service is valued at $1300! 

There is a $395 reservation fee required upon scheduling, which will be returned to you in the form of credit to use toward your portrait purchase if you decide to buy something. The $395 fee is non-refundable and non-transferable in the event you cancel your session, decide not to make a purchase, or select less than $395 worth in portraits. 

The Model of the Month program is open to adults and children of all ages. Don't be shy - we encourage you to apply! Selection for the program is not guaranteed. If you are chosen, we'll get in touch with you within 4 weeks of your application date to discuss the next steps. 

"The Model of the Month session was a great morale-boost for my daughter. Lara made the shoot fun, and included us in the creative part of the process. The photos are beautiful, and so different than what we would have pursued on our own!
