WHAT IS THE DUDE CREW?

The Dude Crew is open to any current high school Seniors or Juniors, and designed with guys in mind. 

The Dude Crew is a reminder that, during this time of moving into manhood, we want to encourage you to #BeAMan.  We believe there are important characteristics that every man should aspire to achieve, such as Respect, Empathy, Honor, Courage, Honesty, Integrity, Discipline, and Strength.

RESPECT:  Respect for your parents, teachers, and peers.  Regarding each of them as important and influential in your life.

EMPATHY: Being sensitive to the needs and situations of others.  Willing to help those around you that may be less fortunate.

HONOR: Acting and presenting yourself in a way that reflects positively on yourself, your family, and those you keep company with.

COURAGE: Facing your fears head on.  Braving moral, physical, and personal difficulties.

HONESTY: Practicing truth, even when it may seem easier to lie.  Behaving yourself without defrauding or deceiving others.

INTEGRITY: Holding yourself accountable to a strong moral compass and maintaining the values that define you.

DISCIPLINE: Learning to control your thoughts, attitude, and behavior in order to seek physical, mental, and spiritual success.

STRENGTH: Being able to handle difficult situations life throws your way while learning to lean on God, family, and peers to overcome shortfalls.

WHY BECOME A MEMBER OF THE DUDE CREW?

You're going to get the same amazing images whether you're a member of the Dude Crew or not, but becoming a member gives you access to the DCC (Dude Crew Community) Peer Network.  The DCC is designed to give you a support system that you can reach out to, day or night.  If you need to talk, need advice, or just need a ride, you'll have direct access to our Christian adult leaders & Christian peer leaders (college age) via phone or group-based messaging app.  Being a man doesn't mean that you never need to ask for help or advice...being a man is knowing that help is available and reaching out for it!

Dude Crew members will receive special invitations to group events.  (Attendance to group events is not mandatory, but they're a great way to hang out in a low pressure environment)

Dude Crew members will receive invites to special photo assignments outside of the normal Senior Portrait experience!

Dude Crew members will also receive a free Senior Dude Crew tshirt!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE DUDE CREW TO HAVE YOUR SENIOR PHOTOS DONE HERE...BUT WHY LIMIT THE FRIENDSHIPS THAT GOD CAN ALLOW YOU TO MAKE?
