In this episode of Wine Down & Focus, Annette and Christina sip a 2019 Dierberg Pinot Noir and share a little love for Hermann, Missouri, before diving into how to build a thriving senior photography business without a model or rep team. They chat with internationally published portrait photographer Rita Ann Janna about how her business evolved from families to seniors across multiple states, why she chose not to run a model team (and how that decision protects teen confidence, includes guys, and fits her busy-client lifestyle), and how families naturally feed into a strong senior client base. Rita also shares her popular “Senior Session Plus” add-on for a pre-college family session, her intentional cap on the number of seniors she takes each year, and three core strategies for growth without a team: volunteering at school events, continuing to photograph families, and subtly repping your brand in everyday life. The episode wraps with a couple of hilarious wildlife-on-session stories (hello, bear and fox!) and a reminder that great senior photography is really about helping teens feel seen, confident, and truly themselves.
