We came up with the concept of doing an entirely new type of session for tweens and teens sometime back in the summer. I was remembering how awkward I had felt during those years, and now looking back, I've realized that I was much more beautiful than I gave myself credit for. "What if?" I thought. "What if we could give that gift to tweens and teens NOW, while they're right in that place?" And so we conceived of the Wide World/Full Bloom™ sessions. We now offer location or location/studio combination sessions for tweens and early teens that are fun, expressive, and truly unique. And so far, they've been a huge hit. They're loving the side of themselves that they're seeing and we're having a fabulous time opening it up for them. We'll be featuring some of the sessions that we've done recently in the next month or so.
Emma was our first Full Bloom session. We photographed
her bat mitzvah at the end of October, and a couple of weeks before, we did her session in the Pearl district. Before the session, she and I made a special trip to have a little makeover done, and then we took off and played for about an hour. It was a wonderful afternoon, we captured a lot of fun sides of her, and she was even able to use one of the images at her bat mitzvah. Thanks, Emma, for a great session!
