The Positive Image Series for Girls and Women
Being female in today's Western society comes with challenges to the personal self as girls in our media-saturated culture are bombarded with negative images and stereotypes through television, advertising, magazines and music.
Studies have shown that the onslaught of these messages-- which glorify such things as body obsession, sex, and violence against women-- undermine personal self-worth and esteem to the point where most girls suffer diminished self- esteem somewhere in that transition from childhood to teen-age, while boys do not.
Studies further show that this undermining of the personal self-image is a major contributing factor in the current rise of eating disorders, self-destructive behaviors, and risky sexual activity in adolescent girls.
Our company is already involved in the community with photography enrichment workshops for girls, designed to help them discover more of their true selves, enhance their personal self-image and give them tools to resist the negative messages of popular culture, while teaching them the creativity of photography.

With The Positive Image series, we're providing another avenue to put the power of the visual image to work, by creating for our clients images designed to enhance positive self-esteem and self-confidence.
Portrait Collections in The Positive Image Series
Being Me!
Deep within each of us is the desire to be recognized and celebrated for what's unique about us. The "Being Me" photo session gives girls and young women that opportunity to express themselves and celebrate what's special about them.
The sessions are fun, upbeat, and conducted like a professional model shoot, allowing the time necessary for hair and clothing changes for image variety. Our goal is to bring out the inherent special beauty of each young lady we photograph, and for the images to serve as a visual boost to their self-esteem and self-confidence.

For My Daughter
Images that portray meaningful moments shared between daughters and their mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, or other nurturing females. Much of a girl's self-esteem stems from her relationship with her mother and/or other female caregiver(s).
What is the best age of the child to get started? There's no time like the present to have created this visual representation and reinforcement of love and acceptance.
