Why should you schedule a Tween to Teens session for your child?
We all know the obvious portrait sessions for a child. Who doesn't love newborn portraits? Don't forget the ones through the toddler years; we love to document all the changes in your little one. And Senior portraits are an undeniable right of passage. Well, I'd like you to offer an additional session, Tweens to Teens. The benefits of a Tween toTeen session are numerable. Read on to find out why.
TWEEN TO TEEN SESSIONS CAPTURE AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE
Many changes occur from the tween to teen years (preadolescents aged 9-14); this is your last chance as a parent to document your kids' childhood before they enter their teenage years. These sessions capture unique facial expressions that highlight that doorway between being a kid and growing into a teenager. Your child is changing in opinions, behaviors, attitudes, friends, and interests, as well as the physical transformations that occur with puberty. These are some of the most formative years in boys' and girls' lives.; a time where they start developing their individuality, building lasting relationships, and begin to come into their own. Portraits during these years will also be a reminder of your baby boy or baby girl during the more challenging times ahead during their teenage years. Parents, you will cherish these portraits for a lifetime.
TWEEN TO TEEN SESSIONS ARE EMPOWERING FOR BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS
These years are a tough age for both boys and girls to feel good about themselves. As they undergo physical, mental, and emotional changes, they may feel awkward and uncomfortable with themselves. As these changes happen, they can affect their self-esteem. Puberty can be incredibly harsh, from the physical changes your child goes through to the hormonal and emotional changes they need to deal with.
Tween to teen photo sessions provides a chance to focus entirely on your child, highlighting their inner and outer beauty, their strengths, and bringing out their personalities on camera so that they can enjoy themselves during their session. By showcasing their natural beauty and providing them a space to feel comfortable, they can feel confident, boosting their self-esteem. It's all about the experience, giving them a chance to be themselves while feeling amazing, which can be incredibly empowering for boys and girls during these years.
TWEEN TO TEEN SESSIONS ARE A WAY TO EXPRESS BEAUTY AND INDIVIDUALITY
We all know school portraits don't capture our children's unique spirit. A tween to teen photoshoot with a portrait photographer will capture your child's beauty and blossoming individuality. It's incredible to see how kids can look very child-like in one photo and then transform their facial expressions and poses to give you a glimpse of their adolescent, even young adult selves, in another image.
TWEEN TO TEEN SESSIONS GIVE YOUR CHILD A WAY TO SHOW OFF THEIR AMAZING PHOTOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Tweens and teens are all about taking selfies and sharing updates with their friends on social media platforms. After a session, kids love sharing their professional photos on Instagram and Facebook, which gives them an extra boost of confidence as they get compliments back from their friends and family members.
I love taking photographs of children during all stages of their life but genuinely enjoy the Tween to Teen years. I believe that parents should take advantage of this significant, transformative moment in their child's life by capturing it. Not only are the images charming, but they also give kids a boost of confidence, provide them with a way to express their beauty and individuality, and give them something they can be proud to share with others on social media.
