Work with MJPD?
HECK YEA!
Every season, we scout fresh faces (ages 12-19) to intern with MJPD!
We always have a need to have a person help with our promotions or ideas!
WE LOVE the interns we have worked with so far and they love that we can support them with volunteer hours or even that recommendation letter they need for a job, college or something that helps their career down the road!
We are looking for those that display style, confidence,
and a willingness to show up and shine.
Whether you’ve modeled before or are brand new to the camera, this is also your chance to be a part of fun creative shoots to build a fun portfolio for you!
Opportunities include test, promotional,
educational sessions locally and occasionally around the state(Indiana).
Real experience, not just a model call...

Questions?
Parents, we see you!
You’ll receive full details once you apply, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
✅ Thank you for submitting your application!
We’re so excited that you’ve applied to be part of our creative photography projects. Your information has been received, and we’ll be reviewing all submissions to match models with upcoming events based on style, age group, and overall fit.
We host multiple projects throughout the year and keep all applications on file for future opportunities.
So, I'm sure you have questions.
Here are the FAQ we get when we do this:
📌 Frequently Asked Questions
❓Is there a cost to participate?
Nope! Volunteer model sessions are completely free. Your time, energy, and willingness to collaborate are your contribution. In return, you'll receive professional images (delivered digitally) as a thank-you for your participation.
We do have levels of a membership that has perks that allow you to be first in line to get the requests before anyone else. It also comes with your very own session for your birthday. If you would like more info, let MJ know.
❓Will I receive photos from the session?
Yes! After the event, You will receive a minimum of 3 social images per event depending on the event. Selected edited images will be shared with you digitally.
❓Do I get to choose my outfits or will styling be provided?
It depends on the event. Sometimes we’ll guide you on what to bring or provide specific themes. Other times, you may be styled by a wardrobe team or asked to wear certain colors or pieces. We’ll always give you details ahead of time.
❓How will I know if I’ve been selected?
You’ll receive a follow-up message if you're selected for a specific shoot. If you don’t hear from us right away, don’t worry—we keep all applications on file and choose models based on the needs of each project.
❓Do I need modeling experience?
Not at all! We love working with new and experienced models. You just need a great attitude, be open to direction, and ready to have fun in front of the camera.
❓What’s the time commitment?
Each event varies. Some may be 1–2 hours, others a half-day experience. We’ll always let you know the expected schedule before confirming your participation.
❓Where will the photoshoots take place?
Most shoots will be in the Indiana area. If you're selected, we’ll provide the exact address and any additional location notes.
❓What should I bring?
If anything is needed (like wardrobe basics, props, or accessories), we’ll let you know ahead of time. Otherwise, just bring yourself and be ready to shine!
❓Can I bring a friend or parent with me?
Yes! For those under 18, a parent/guardian must attend and sign a release. If you would like your friend to join you on some of the projects, have them apply!
❓How often do you select models?
We host various events throughout the year, and we select models as needed based on age, style, and event goals. Right now, between studio and on location, I hope to have an event as frequently as once a month. Just because you’re not selected for one event doesn’t mean you won’t be the perfect fit for the next!
In the meantime, stay connected with us on social and keep an eye out for exciting behind-the-scenes updates!
We can’t wait to create with you!
