Oh my goodness, those tween years are tough.\u00a0\u00a0 Many of your kids may have heard my daughter, Delanie, Miss North Dakota 2015, talk about her troubled middle school years.\u00a0 She talked with thousands of students as she toured the state and made presentations to elementary, middle and high schools about the power of Courage, Empathy and Kindness in the face of bullying. \u00a0\u00a0 I had the opportunity to sit in on a few of the presentations and when she got to the nitty gritty of her experiences, it filled my eyes with tears every time. \u00a0 The bullying, the self-doubt, the tears, wondering where she fit in….it was not easy!\u00a0 And I am embarking on those years again with my youngest daughter.<\/p>\n
So, how does a picture fit into the scheme of the Tween Years?\u00a0 As parents, we are always thinking of ways to bolster our children’s self confidence.<\/p>\n

Babies are so cute, new and chubby.\u00a0 Toddlers have those big, bright eyes, and let’s face it, kids just do the darndest things. But those tween ages are often forgotten.
\nAges 10-13 kids aren’t really children anymore, but they aren’t quite true teens, either. I got to thinking that a photo shoot was a terrific idea to help tweens look and feel beautiful and help instill confidence in themselves when they hit those middle schools years.<\/p>\n
So I am starting the “BeYOUtiful Project” to fill in the forgotten photo years while enriching the lives of preteens.
\nThe main goal is to make preteens look and feel beautiful and be confident in who they are.<\/p>\n
These Tween Sessions will be different than a standard photo session, or even a senior pictures session. As part of the session, I\u00a0 will ask the
\nmodels and their parents a few questions (, then combine the text and photographs to create impactful pieces of art – either in a print, a collage or\u00a0 book, all designed around your terrific Tween!
\nWhy “BeYOUtiful”?
\nI want to capture the the personality of these tweens and record the last stage of their childhood before they become young ladies and gentlemen. I want them to realize their true beauty\u00a0 and uniqueness so that
\nthey are confident in themselves before they hit Junior High. Imagine the impact a single beautiful image can do for your tween’s self image.<\/p>\n
