I have been working on this project and I am so excited to finally show some images and talk about it!!! Do you remember what it was like to be 11 or 12? Kind of awkward, right? It was for me, anyway. And when I look at the (very) few photos that exist of me at that age – well, that’s just it, there are very few. Why is that? Why do the tween ages so often get forgotten? On one hand I get it, newborns are so tiny and well, new! Of course you want to take photos all day long! And babies are so cute and chubby! But, the ages of 10 – 12 can often fly under the radar and before you know it your baby is a teenager – complete with braces and eye rolls.

Enter – a photo project specifically for girls (for now) ages 10-12 that not only will let them see the beauty that others see in them, but also will help them have UNSHAKEABLE CONFIDENCE as they enter their teen years. The response to these sessions has been so amazing! (And it’s not just the photos!!)

And now, a few images from a couple of the sessions:

let's tell your story

I've photographed every personality type — the shy ones, the hams, the "I hate photos" crowd, all of them.

I know how to find what makes someone tick and pull it right into the frame. The goal is never a perfect pose.

It's a photo that looks so undeniably like you that you can't stop staring at it.
