Welcome to This is Me! Our community teen/tween empowerment program.
I created This is Me as a community service aimed at helping kids and support parent teachings during those tricky tween and teen years when kids start tuning out the lessons they get at home (we’ve all been there, right?). Ages 11–14 are a critical time for building confidence, especially as they face pressures from social media and life’s challenges. This program combines uplifting activities, inspiring speakers, and a portrait experience that celebrates who they are and what they look like with pride. Our mission is to help these kids thrive, feel seen, and walk away knowing their value.
Because every child deserves to feel confident and unstoppable!
This one-of-a-kind program is designed to empower kids to embrace their true selves, build confidence, and thrive. Through themed sessions, we provide a creative and uplifting space where participants can explore their individuality, connect with peers, and grow into the best versions of themselves.
What Makes This Program Unique?
This is a guided, confidence-building portrait experience. At each event, participants enjoy a combination of unedited photo sessions, inspiring guest speakers, and fun, engaging activities that are all centered around boosting self-esteem and fostering a positive mindset.
Themed Photo Sessions
Each event features a new, creative portrait theme. Participants receive a professional, unedited 5X7 portrait that celebrates their natural beauty with no filters, just authenticity. We provide coaching so they know how to pose for a great photo and the more they come, the better this skill so they no longer need to feel awkward in front of a camera.
Inspiring Guest Speakers at every session includes: a short, impactful talk by a community leader or professional. Topics focus on confidence, stress management, personal growth, and more.
Fun and Interactive Activities: From creative projects to team-building exercises, each session is designed to be engaging and meaningful, encouraging connection and self-expression.
