EMPOWERING TWEENS, one photo at a time
Self esteem can be developed or crushed in an instant, especially for the preteen + young teen (ages 10-16). 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 + early teen years. The goal is to help tweens/teens look and feel beautiful (inside & out) and have unshakable confidence in themselves.
Coming to DALLAS, TEXAS - MAY 19 + 20
Portrait sessions last 30 minutes, and will take place at a local park just outside of Dallas, Texas... 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.

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.

what it is, why I'm doing this, how to participate...
and how this is soooo much MORE than just a photo shoot!
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!
