"WHO I AM" PROJECT

EMPOWERING TWEENS, one photo at a time

image

Self esteem can be developed or crushed in an instant, especially for the preteen (ages 10-12). I'm sure we all have stories from this age, and if you're a parent, I'm sure you struggle watching your preteen live through some stuff that you wish you could magically make better.

There's no easy solution to this. But I want to do what little I can with the tools and talents I have, to reach out and help make a positive impact wherever & whenever possible. Getting back to my roots (psychology, child development, art therapy and photography), I have started a unique photo project that I'd love for you to be a part of.

INTRODUCING THE "WHO I AM" PROJECT.

I'm making it my personal mission to capture photos of those preteen years. The goal is to help tweens look and feel beautiful (inside & out) and have unshakable confidence in themselves when they hit middle school.


BEND, OREGON - dates ongoing

HOW IT WORKS

Prior to the session, you'll receive questionnaires to SECRETLY pass out to family + friends. Then the 30-minute portrait session will take place, showcasing your tween's personality and what they love. After your session, a video will be created, combining the new photos with quotes pulled directly from those questionnaires. Within 3 weeks after your session, you'll receive a link to view all the photos and the VIDEO.  

Think about it... if someone surprised YOU with 15-20 positive quotes about yourself, how would you feel?

I bet it would be pretty dang AMAZING!

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Hey there... I'm Michelle, the one behind the camera. 

Long story short: The camera has been an extension of my hand for most of my life, and I've been running The Suitcase Studio for nearly 10 years now... providing FUN + stress-free photo sessions for the quirky, authentic + AWESOME. 

With my Bachelors Degree in Psychology, and a few years working in children's group homes, I've seen, first-hand, the HUGE difference that positive self-esteem can make in a child's life. And I want to do whatever I can with the tools I have, to make whatever difference I can. Funnily enough, I still use my psychology training and insight on each + every photo shoot... calming nerves, connecting on personal level, and showcasing true beauty... both inside AND out!
