“As a senior portrait photographer, I hope to tell the story of a deserving Class of 2018 senior through photos. I want my senior to know beauty is not only about appearance, but what is inside," said Stremlau.

The lucky winner will be featured in a January edition of Beauty Revived Magazine, which aims to challenge the perception of beauty. The publication was started three years ago, and over 700 women and children have been featured. The campaign also features 50 Beautiful Mothers, 50 Beautiful Children and 50 Beautiful Women.

“I joined the Beauty Revived Campaign two years ago. I wanted to empower girls and show them the true meaning of beauty," said Stremlau.
