Growing up can be hard to do…..
I’m sure you remember the tween and early teen years.
For me, this was a time of braces, permed hair, shoulder pads (ugh), glasses, and the oh-so-fabulous official middle school photo. I felt like the opposite of beautiful. I was lacking in self-confidence and in belief of who I could become. Looking back at those images of me now, I see so much there – so much beauty, so much ability. I wish I could go back and give “Tween” Me a hug and show her how great she really was, let her know that everything was going to be okay, and to not worry so much. As a mom and photographer, I see that this age range often gets overlooked – that Tween age that starts around 10 until hitting the official 1-3…and teenager-hood. This time of life is also a huge transition, as I’m sure we can all remember. It can be confusing, and self-confidence and self-image can get shaky. These are the reasons behind the San Antonio Tween Photographer 2019 Who I Am Project.
San Antonio Tween Photographer 2019 Who I Am Project
I started the “Who I Am” photography project in tandem with Tween sessions to fill in the forgotten photo years while enriching the lives of girls up to 13 years old. I’m making it my personal mission to capture those lost preteen and early teen years. The main goal of the Who I Am Project is to make pre-teens look and feel beautiful and be confident in who they are.
Who can participate?
Girls age 10-13 are invited to participate in these limited edition sessions. I will ask the tween, their parents, grandparents, and maybe their coach a few questions, then combine the text and photographs to create one impactful piece of art. If someone surprised you with 10 or more positive quotes about you, how would you feel? Amazing, I’m sure, and that is what I am doing. Well, not for you but for your awesome 10-13 year old.
Why “Who I am”?
I want to capture the personality of these tweens and new teens and record the last stage of their childhood before they become young ladies. I want them to realize their true beauty so that they are confident in themselves approaching and during middle school. Imagine the impact a single beautiful image can do for your child’s self-image.
