Don’t stop taking school portraits just because th Don’t stop taking school portraits just because they’re teenagers. ❤️⁠ ⁠ I get it.⁠ ⁠ Your middle-schooler and high-schooler probably aren’t asking you to take their picture. They may not be particularly interested in having their school photo taken. And you might even think, “They haven’t changed that much since last year…” or “They’re not as cute as they were when they were little.”⁠ ⁠ But wait.⁠ ⁠ Do you really want the teenage years to be the years you have the fewest photographs of your child?⁠ ⁠ Absolutely not.⁠ ⁠ They’re still your beautiful child. And they’re changing more than you realize—growing into the person they’re becoming, with their own style, expressions, personality, and that face you’ll one day wish you could see exactly as it was.⁠ ⁠ Teenagers' portraits deserve to be beautiful, too.⁠ ⁠ For my School Portrait Pop-Up, I take the time to capture more than just one quick frame. I’ll photograph about 20 images (if they are nice enough to let me! and select the 4-5 best portraits, looking for genuine expressions—not just “show me your teeth.”⁠ ⁠ The shy smile. The serious look. The little smirk. The expression that is SO them.⁠ ⁠ Because someday, you’ll look back at these photos and think:⁠ ⁠ “I’m so glad I have this.” ❤️⁠ ⁠ 📅 October 11 — ONE DAY ONLY⁠ ⏱️ 3–5 minutes per child⁠ 📸 4 beautifully photographed images⁠ 👔 Dress up, wear a favorite outfit, or even come in a casual white t-shirt!⁠ ⁠ Sign-up is required.

📸 School portraits, but SO much better. You know 📸 School portraits, but SO much better. You know those school pictures where someone says, “Show me your teeth!” and you get the same forced smile year after year? That’s not how I photograph kids. I take the time to let each child loosen up and be themselves. I’ll capture around 20 images and choose the 4 best portraits—the genuine expressions, the shy little smiles, the bursting laughs, the serious faces, and all those little expressions that make them them. Because someday, these photos won’t just be school pictures. They’ll be a reminder of exactly who they were at this age. ❤️ ✨ School Portrait Pop-Up 📅 October 11 — ONE DAY ONLY ⏱️ 3–5 minute session 👗 Dress up, wear their favorite outfit, or even come in a Halloween costume! 🎟️ Advance sign-up required. Let their personality shine. I want to capture it all. Sign-up link in bio.

Ana offers Somatic and Subconscious Programing. This was a small retreat in which we worked on many different aspects of mind and physical connection. I’ve taken some sound bowl meditation yoga classes in the past and enjoyed it but this session was much deeper! If you are interested, definitely check her out. I have booked a session with her next week and am very excited! Photographer @melissamaddenphotography
