So, You Want to be a Model, but you aren't a senior?

Why should the seniors have ALL the fun? The Rising Star Model Team was created in 2018 to give underclassmen an opportunity to join in on the fun. You will get a chance to see what it's like to work with Optical Poetry, make friends from all over DFW, practice posing, try different looks and generally get prepared for YOUR senior session when it's your turn.

Who are We Looking For?

Young ladies who will be Freshmen, Sophomores or Juniors during the 2021-2022 school year. We base our decisions not on looks but on personality, activities, and eagerness to be in our program. We are looking for ladies who are outgoing, comfortable in front of the camera, and who are striving to be GREAT at something. This can be a sport, an extra-curricular, a hobby, anything!
