One of the things that made this photoshoot so special was the sense of community and togetherness that it brought. Being part of a team, especially during such a joyful and uplifting time of year, was truly special. We all came together to spread holiday cheer and capture the magic of the season.

Hey! My name is Faith Riccobene and I am a Senior at Cary Christian school! I am on the Forever young and Free Senior Model team class of 2022.

I wanted to come and share that if you are in the class of “23 you should definitely apply! For me it came down to wanting to doing something fun in my Senior Year! I am involved in tennis, basketball and soccer and I also sing in my school a cappella club. So this was very different but so much fun and totally surpassed my expectation. I loved getting to know girls from the area that don’t go to my school and also participating in amazing shoots with cool locations themes, having my hair and makeup done and even choosing form boutiques clothing that they send us that they send us for the shoots! It has seriously been so fun! Thank you Emily! Good luck everyone with your applications! ”
