The teenage years from 12-17 are a time when many teens feel too shy or embarrassed to fully appreciate and enjoy their own images. Yet, this is also the time when we see the greatest growth of personality as a child matures into a young adult and begins to find their place in the world.
Many teens struggle with low confidence and low self-esteem at some point. At this stage, as teens undergo intensive growth and development, they can also feel strong and even overwhelming emotions which they may have trouble recognising. This can affect teens’ thinking and behaviour, making positive emotional development so important for helping children become healthy and well-adjusted young adults.
That’s why we have put together the Teen Project at GAP Studios! This confidence boosting photography experience takes all the awkwardness out of the awkward ages! Experiencing a professional portrait experience can provide positive reinforcement, as we work to remind teens of how important and special they are and how much their presence matters within the family unit.
The Teen Project provides a kind and affirming view, elevating a teen’s self-esteem and self-belief. Especially for self-conscious teens, our carefully planned professional portrait sessions can take away the stress and anxiety of being photographer.
Encouraging teens to take pride in their passions, personalised portrait sessions can instil self-worth and strengthen sense of identity. We love creating memories that your teen and family can look back on and cherish for years to come!
