Each of the tween sessions are split between in studio and outdoors to provide a complete series of images in multiple settings. Alisa has a wide variety of props and encourages everyone to bring along several outfits and favorite things. Family portraits should be planned for annually with a rotation between spring and fall to give a wide variety of art for years to come. These are the years where the tweens are exploring who they are and want to maybe be, allowing the tween the opportunity to select a few items to be photographed with is very important. Allowing them to have some input will ensure that feel they have some control in their session.  This is a truly special time frame to capture the tween and allowing him/her to bring what they want to be photographed in and allowing them to have some say so will ensure a really fantastic session.  

Below is a list of items you might consider bringing to the tween sessions booked annually.
