At The Camera’s Eye, I’ve loved getting into tween photo sessions! Meet Gabby, a truly lovely young lady I recently met!

Her mom Sam decided that she simply could NOT wait until senior photos came along to have some pictures done of her daughter Gabby. She shares, “In the last couple of months, I found myself just stunned by my daughter.”

“She is at this unique age, no longer a little girl, and glimpses of the woman she will be are there. From the way she does her hair to the angles in her profile- She’s beautiful!  It was just taking my breath away.”

Sam tried searching Pinterest for ideas on how to capture this moment in her daughter’s life – but a search for “tween photo shoot” didn’t reveal much that suited her Gabby. So they came in to chat with me!

I learned a lot about Gabby through chatting with her, and told her to pick out outfits that made her feel GOOD! This is key to having a natural photo session, no matter the age.

In chatting with my clients, I love seeing the bond between family members. Sam shares that what she admires most about Gabby is her strength. She loves watching her daughter learn that she can be brave and build her confidence.

All that (and some great photos) from a simple tween session at The Camera’s Eye! Big thanks to Gabby and Sam – we hope to see you again when the time for a senior session rolls around 🙂
