An epic event for Tweens in two parts!!

Part I: Conversation & Session.

We get together over coffee or hot chocolate to talk to your Tween about their hobbies and interests, and what really lights them up inside. Together, we plan a session to showcase your Tween's unique personality, passions and authentic self that will be photographed prior to the March 25th event so that portraits can be incorporated into the event to personalize their experience and make them feel incredibly special!

Being in front of a camera embracing who you are is a truly empowering experience. It's more than just sitting in front of the camera and posing. It's about the inner super hero inside! These sessions will be scheduled during the months of February and March.

The session will be created with design in mind - either a wall portrait (perfect for your Tween's room!) or a custom keepsake album or folio. We have Tween-centric story and quote canvases that incorporate quotes from family and friends about your Tween, and all the wonderful things they love about them. Albums and folios will also feature quotes, plus beautifully-designed inspirational graphics. These custom items be treasured for a lifetime, and will empower your tween long after the event!

Part II: The I'm Possible Event

All I'm Possible participants will gather March 25, 2023 from 11-3 at Momentum Dance Studio in Homer Glen, for inspiration from professional speakers, fun with hands-on activities, and exercise - physical and mental - to allow their uniqueness shine, to set some goals and to know how incredible they are!!

We will be practicing self-confidence, being kind to themselves, appreciating who they are and making plans for our BIG DREAMS!

Included:

Incredible Speakers to inspire

Vision boards for goal-setting

Prompts for thoughtful self-exploration and appreciation.

Physical fun in the dance studio!

Lots of SWAG and surprises!
