A big announcement... and the beginning of an exciting new chapter!!
Sometimes you look back and realize a mission has been evolving all along.
Twenty-eight years ago, I started a photography business with one purpose...to help people see their worth and their beauty.
That mission has never changed and over the years, it has evolved.
It has led me to create portrait experiences that help people feel seen instead of judged. It has inspired community projects, fundraisers and outreach efforts that use photography as my tool to make a difference.
Seven years ago, it led me to girls ages 9 to 12, an age group that is so often overlooked just as they're beginning to question whether they're enough.
Not just outer beauty but the kind of beauty found within each person. WHen I look through my camera, I can see that and the unique story every person carries.
That journey has grown into one-on-one Tween Empowerment Experiences, workshops, journals, summer experiences, educational resources and conversations on podcasts about why this generation needs us now more than ever.
Now I'm incredibly honored to announce that I'll be speaking at the Tennessee Professional Photographers Association Fall Convention this August.
I'll also be speaking at the Massachusetts Professional Photographers Association convention and I'm currently in conversations with several other state photography associations about bringing this message to photographers across the country.
While I'll certainly be sharing why I believe tween empowerment is one of the greatest opportunities in our industry, my message is about something even bigger.
It's about building a business with purpose, serving your community in ways that matter, creating experiences that change how people see themselves.
I believe photographers don't just capture what someone looks like but we have the opportunity to help people recognize their value, celebrate their story and leave our sessions seeing themselves a little differently than when they walked in.
I'm so grateful for every client, every girl, every family, every photographer and every opportunity that has led to this next chapter. Photographers... together, we can help an entire generation!
Tennessee...I'll see you soon.
