Let’s talk about a season of life that often gets skipped over—tweenhood.
Your child isn’t a little kid anymore, but they’re also not quite a teen. They’re in that magical, messy, and meaningful middle ground where personalities bloom, interests shift, and self-identity starts to form. And if you’re anything like me—a parent who wants to remember every little thing about who they are right now—you know how important it is to capture this moment before it slips away.
At Boldly You, we’ve designed an empowering, fun, and unforgettable tween photography experience that’s all about celebrating who your child is right now—quirks, confidence, interests, and all.
💫 Why Tween Photography Matters
Tween years (typically ages 9–13) are often overlooked in milestone photography. You might have tons of photos from their toddler days and already have senior portraits on your radar, but this in-between season? It deserves love, too.
Why?
- Confidence is built here. Tweens are starting to compare themselves to others. A thoughtfully styled photo session—where they’re seen, celebrated, and encouraged to express themselves—can make a huge impact on their self-esteem.
- Their personalities are shining through. Whether your tween is bold, silly, quiet, sporty, creative, or full of dramatic flair, this is the perfect time to capture who they’re becoming.
- Interests change fast. One day it’s Taylor Swift and sparkly boots, the next it’s soccer cleats and Harry Potter. These photos preserve those obsessions you’ll want to remember—and they’ll want to look back on with pride.
📸 What Makes Our Tween Sessions Different?
Let’s be real: these are not your average school portraits.
Our custom tween photoshoots are crafted around your child’s energy, personality, and passions. Here’s what to expect when you book a session with us:
✨ Pre-Session Planning Call
We’ll get to know your tween—what lights them up, what they’re into right now, and how they want to feel during their session. This call sets the tone for a totally personalized experience.
✨ Style Support & Wardrobe Guidance
Whether it’s a cozy fall session with sweaters and boots or a summer shoot with sunglasses and sequins, we’ll help style the perfect look that feels true to them. We’re a little style-obsessed over here.
✨ Fun, Confidence-Fueled Shoot
We’ll laugh, pose, dance, and play while I guide your child every step of the way. No stiff smiles here—just pure, authentic personality shining through.
✨ Creative Themes That Celebrate Them
From donuts to dirt bikes, capes to Converse—we design a shoot that highlights their current loves. Got a little Swiftie? Let’s capture that sparkle. Super into superheroes or slime? Let’s go there.
