FAQs

  • Is modeling photography for tweens age-appropriate at your Portland studio?
    Yes. Every tween modeling session is thoughtfully designed to be fun, safe and age-appropriate with parental input welcomed and eyes on throughout the process. I create beautiful, authentic portraits that highlight your child’s personality and keep them looking like kids.

  • What should my tween wear to a modeling portfolio session?
    Choose outfits that feel genuine to your child’s personality—classic denim, simple tees, light layers or soft patterns in colorful but neutral tones. We’ll plan ahead so the clothing feels natural, elegant and totally age-appropriate, while giving your tween the space to shine.

  • My child has never modeled before—can they still do a test shoot?
    Absolutely. Most tweens I work with are brand new to modeling. These test shoots are designed to build confidence, explore potential and produce world-class images that agencies—and families—can use to evaluate the next step.

  • How do you help tweens feel relaxed and natural during the shoot?
    I’ve spent years working with kids and know how to create a session that feels like play, not pressure. Through light direction, gentle coaching and a little humor, I help your tween feel comfortable, confident and seen—so the images feel genuine and joyful.

  • Can a tween modeling session really lead to agency opportunities?
    Yes. A polished and authentic modeling portfolio is often what gets a young model noticed. I’ve helped many tweens take their first step toward professional representation through sessions that combine beautiful photography with a clear understanding of the industry.
