Summer is finally coming to an end, but that means the new school year is kicking off! . This year I have the largest Senior Model group I’ve ever worked with, so I felt like a fun day at the beach would be perfect! . Introducing my Class of 2026 J.Allen Senior Model Team!!! . All but one were able to make the session! I’ve got 5 San Antonio HS represented here! . Beach set inspired by one of my favorite photographers, @atomicbromphoto!! . @abbie_cuellar123 @abigail_opal_avalos @alessandra.perez_ @avajordan31_ @bella__montemayor @carolinaiherrera2716 @clarissaa.joy @bassford.dakota2026 @emmai.13 @emmy_s27 @julessreyess @lauren_kennedy_08 @miajsandovalromero @mileychavero @mm_what @nat.salinass @ossmaryy_ @samsosa_8 @sophia00.8 @sophiakoenig18_ . #jallenseniormodels #jallenphotography #classof2026

Meet Isella! . She is another of the incredibly talented dancers that I get to work with. She dances on the Goldusters, the O’Connor HS Varsity Dance Team. . I also had the opportunity to shoot some dance photos earlier this spring. She’s phenomenal! . @isella.arriana . #jallenphotography #jallenteenmodels #sanantoniophotographer

This is Helaina! . This was the first time I personally met her at this session, but I’ve shot photos of her before. She dances as a Lariette on the Brandeis HS Varsity Dance Team…where I’ve shot her before. . She’s a natural and I can’t wait to continue working with her over the next sessions! . @helaina_mmelonas . #jallenphotography #jallenteenmodels #teenmodel

This is Bethany! . I met her a couple years ago and then I got to shoot with her and her friend @madelineraine.13. . She is an incredible dancer and dances on the O’Connor HS Varsity Dance Team, the Goldusters! . Looking forward to working with you more Bethany! @be.thany858 @oconnorgoldusters #jallenphotography #jallenteenmodels

Meet Aimee! . She dances with the Silver Dazzlers, the Harlan HS Varsity Dance Team. I met her last year when she joined Leia for one of her modeling sessions! . @aimee.lyynn . #jallenphotography #jallenteenmodels #sanantoniophotographer

I’ve had a Teen Modeling team for several years and this year we kicked off the school year in my new Studio! This was the first shoot for me in this space which means they got something pretty different than what I had done in the past! . Meet the new group…minus one… . We have two returning for year two! @chloe.yarb, a Sophomore, sitting on the chair and featured in the carousel. @_leiaamore_, a Junior, is also in year two but was unable to make this session! Then from left to right in their first year working with me! @aimee.lyynn from Harlan HS - Junior @isella.arriana from O’Connor HS - Junior @helaina_mmelonas from Brandeis HS - Junior @be.thany858 also from O’Connor HS - Junior . Each of the models dance on their varsity dance teams! . Girls thank you so much for working with me this year! I’m looking forward to our next one!!! . #jallenteenmodels #jallenphotography #wstudio @w.studio.satx

Check out Emme in my latest video! This is a hybrid…BTS…with a product review at the end! . The GODOX V100: You tell me, Strobe or Speedlight!!! https://youtu.be/gSBBRiBPr5M . @godox_global sent me the V100. A 100W Speed light to test and review! Thank you Godox!!! . In the bts, I used the speedlight off camera only! As the main light with an ND filter, in HSS, and as a hair light with a gel! . I also share other photos from sessions where the V100 came very useful. . It kept up with all my uses and is perfect for night time sessions! . Thank you Emme for your time! . #jallenphotography @_emmewbu_ #godoxlighting @godoxlighting @godoxusergroup #godoxv100

Here are several more shots from my sessions with Victoria! . @victoria.gomm @modelsoftx . #jallenphotography #modelsoftx #satxphotography

Long Story Short. . @victoria.gomm DM’d me and a few other photogs in May asking about how to get into modeling. As of today, I don’t have the stats, but she’s shot with so many photographers in SA, she’s done runway modeling with @modelsoftx and even modeled clothing lines on the local News channels. . What’s the point??? . Get out there for whatever it is you want and take it! Life will come at you fast if you let it. You’ll blink and wake up almost 50. Find what it is you want in life and go after it. . Oh yeah. Did I mention Victoria is 16?!? . It doesn’t matter if you are good at something if you don’t go out and do it. She wanted it, she went after it! . Check out these photos and this BTS in my latest YouTube video! . Don’t Let ‘No’ Close the Door: The Hustle. . https://youtu.be/sixzHPKNbW0 . #jallenphotography #modelsoftx #satxmodels #sanantoniomodel #sanantoniophotographer

She left it all in the river! Lily’s first Dance modeling team shoot 📸 with the amazing and talented @j.allen_dancephotography .

Blessed to be a part! . . . @mkcdancestudio @j.allen_dancephotography @j.allen_photographer #dancemodel #dancephotography #childmodel #dancermodel #mkcdancestudio #mkcdance #riverphotoshoot #riverphotography
