EMPOWERING TWEENS + TEENS, one photo at a time
AS A PARENT, I'M SURE YOU STRUGGLE WATCHING YOUR KID LIVE THROUGH SOME STUFF THAT YOU WISH YOU COULD MAGICALLY MAKE BETTER...
Self-esteem can be developed or crushed in an instant, especially for the preteen or early teen (ages 9-16). This is a notoriously rough age, and I'm sure we all have our own "survival" stories.
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 launched a photo project that I'd love for you to be a part of:
"WHO I AM" PROJECT.
I'm making it my personal mission to capture photos of those preteen + early teen years.
The goal is to help these kids look and feel beautiful (inside & out) and have unshakable confidence in themselves going forth.
HAPPENING AUGUST 25, 2019 in ORANGE COUNTY, CA
Portrait sessions last 30-45 minutes, and will take place at a park in Irvine, rain or shine. (Exact location to be shared with participants.)
Session is FREE, but a $99 non-refundable retainer is required to hold your time slot.
Full $99 will be applied toward any product purchase after images are viewed.
Click the button below to BOOK YOUR SESSION!
NOTE: If for MULTIPLE kids, you can book one time slot and SHARE the time/experience, or book each kid INDIVIDUALLY to get their OWN experience.
It comes down to your preference and budget.
HOW IT WORKS...
After signing up, you'll receive questionnaires to SECRETLY pass out to family + friends. And you'll receive lots of tips on what your kid should wear + bring, and how to make this an AMAZING experience all the way through.
Then the 30-minute portrait session will take place, showcasing your kid's personality and what they love... in one outfit for a favorite look, and another outfit to show off a favorite hobby, sport, or something else that fills them with confidence.
Within 3 weeks after their session, you'll receive a link to view the finished photos and a VIDEO which combines a few photos with quotes pulled directly from the secret questionnaires.
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 over 10 years now... providing FUN + stress-free photo sessions for the quirky, authentic + AWESOME.
With my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and time spent 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!
