She is growing up, she is finding her voice, it is time to honor the woman that she is becoming with something other than a cell phone or a school photo. 

Tween and teenage girls are my photography passion. I remember those awkward days, when you weren't sure there was anyone in the world who liked you, and those feelings have only multiplied with the invention of social media.

I have two girls, one currently in middle school and one who has already graduated and recalls her middle school years as the worst of her school career. I want to change that by giving girls an experience that will show them how valuable they are, and how beautiful they are. This customized photographic experience can boost self-esteem, and develop a positive sense of self...it's also great for their Instagram account too, LOL. 

In all seriousness, Dr. Jaclyn Gulotta, Ph.D, licensed mental health counselor and owner of Dr. Jaclyn, The Counseling Professional, LLC says "When children grow up seeing photos of themselves proudly displayed around their home, it says to them. 'I am a valuable and important member of my family. I matter.'"

I want my daughters, your daughters, our daughters, to feel their worth. To connect with something bigger, to understand they were created for something better than middle school or high school drama. I don't want their story to be defined by school pictures and/or cell phone pictures stored on a server somewhere. Let's bring your daughters story to life, let's display them proudly, and show them how valuable they are.
