This had to be the most fun Tween shoot I ever did because Kylie loves wrestling, and I am a total closet wrestling fan. Kylie is a ball of positive energy, and an absolute joy to be around with her happy-go-lucky spunky attitude! She even put me in the dreaded figure eight leg lock and made me tap out! I hope we get to shoot again someday because I really want to photograph her with her championship belt that she has! Now that would be fun!!! Sweet disposition combined with confidence made for a great photoshoot!

Ava is such a cool and fun young lady. She has this amazing ability to take any outfit that you give her and make it amazing. Own with attitude, if you will. The girl can rock anything. We were only shooting a little while before she got really comfortable and all of her Moxie started coming out. Myself and her mom were really enjoying watching her strut her stuff after each clothing change. I won’t ever forget how much fun it was that day to watch her and I can’t wait to someday do it all over again! Good luck, Ava :-)

Dakota is the sweetest, most excited tween we have this year, I think! We have all come to agree at the studio on that fact. It really makes all of us really feel proud of what we do when we see that kind of enthusiasm. You always see it especially in the tweens, as they do not hold back the way we do as we get older.

Positive energy, excitement, and joy are contagious, and we all feed off of that. Dakota is a very smart young lady and loves being around people. She loved her photo shoot every bit as much as I loved being able to do it for her. We even grabbed her mom’s old decorative bicycle from the backyard and made it into a photo prop. Dakota also loves koala bears, which does not surprise me, because she has a gentleness about her, and that is very beautiful, much like you see in koala bears. When we were presenting the pictures on a big screen after her photo shoot her mother broke down crying because it was so beautiful, and Dakota is one of those kids that just pulls at your heartstrings. Anyway, she is such a beautiful little child. Thank you Dakota koala so much for everything you have done, and for being such a great Model for me.
