Limited Edition Tween/teen sessions


The future is female - You are magic


Empowering your daughters to help them become strong young women.


The tween and early teen years are hard. Your body is changing. Your moods are changing. Everyone around you is changing. Once confident kids don't know what's up and what's down anymore. Self-esteem in the tween years is delicate - so many studies have shown this and, if you were a tween or young teenaged girl once, you know it's true.

This is where Your Fairy Godmother Couture, Child Couture Magazine, and I come in. A few years ago, Your Fairy Godmother Couture and Child Couture Magazine partnered up to create the Tween Dreams program, a program designed to show girls that they are beautiful on the inside and out - a program to make them feel like a star. Every year, Your Fairy Godmother designs unique, couture gowns for themed sessions meant to boost the confidence and self-esteem of tween girls across the country. Only a select number of photographers are able to participate in the program, and 5 of the girls from each photographer's sessions get featured in Child Couture Magazine. I'm one of the select photographers holding these sessions in 2025!


"You are magic"

This year, the theme is inspired by the incredible musical, Wicked. I don't know about you, but my three girls and I all loved it! Finding friendship, overcoming adversity and discrimination, finding compassion and doing the right thing; these are all qualities that are part of building self-confidence.

About the sessions


These sessions are geared towards girls aged 8-12 years old, although the dresses may work a little bit to either side of that sizing-wise. This session is meant to be a special experience - one that your daughter will treasure forever. She'll be a celebrity for the day - hair and makeup, have favorite snacks, get to be the center of attention during a fun-filled photo session wearing some gorgeous couture gowns. We'll start with a consultation, so that I can learn more about your daughter to make sure her day is absolutely special! She'll come away from her photoshoot with a swag bag, feeling like a million dollars, and with some gorgeous artwork that reminds her everyday how amazing she is.


I will have access to the dresses April 11-13, 2025. There will be a choice (hopefully!) of indoor and outdoor sessions, and the first 5 to book will get a feature in Child Couture Magazine! (You can absolutely opt out of this; I 100% respect my clients' privacy. It will move to the next to book, if you do.)
