Do you know what I hear most from moms of kids in fifth and sixth grade?
“I just don’t want them to lose their sparkle.” ✨
That bright, joyful piece of themselves that loves life and is not afraid to be exactly who they are.
I have guided four of my own kids through the bumpy middle-school years, and I get to spend time with my 8th grade PSR students every week. I created the I’m Possible Tween Empowerment experience for Clinton County and co-founded an art school with Jamie Geragosian because I believe every young person deserves a safe place to try new things, be encouraged and feel like they belong.
I am incredibly passionate about tweens, teens and i understand the huge life changes they are navigating. I want to pour positive energy into them and remind them that they are not alone.
But there is another group I want to celebrate:
Moms, stepmoms, aunties and every special woman loving a middle schooler.
You may feel like the “bad guy” some days. You may be navigating life changes of your own. You may both be tired. But your child loves you. You love them. That deserves to be seen and celebrated.
Introducing What She Sees, a powerful portrait project for tweens and teens and the women who love them.
Together, you will have a fun 30-minute portrait experience. Then you will return to the studio to create one meaningful, one-of-a-kind portrait that becomes a visual love note between you.
Sessions begin this weekend, and a portion of every session supports Coping 4 Life, helping us spread even more positive energy in our community.
I have a limited number of openings. Comment “SHE SEES” to get the ball rolling and be a part of this amazing portrait project!
