Ava was the youngest on the crew. I've been photographing her and her younger sisters for a few years. She started out as one of my fairies. 🧚 
Ava transformed over the 8 months on the model crew. The once shy girl who was too shy to even talk...is now a bold young lady that loves to be in front of my camera. I am so proud of her. 

Testimonials from Ava and Her Mom

Ava: "I loved this program so much and it really changed the way I acted around others, by including myself and being able to talk to people. I was always nervous about how I looked and what other people thought about me but now I don’t really care anymore. I am so thankful that I did this program and got to meet you and all of the beautiful girls was well. Thank you!!"

Ava's Mom: "Thank you for giving my daughter the confidence to go into middle school with a newfound sense of self-worth. My shy 11 year-old is now comfortable meeting new people and makes friends easily! Thank you for your patience and giving my daughter room to spread her wings through your creative process. The Fearless Spirit program has been essential to my daughter's ability to transition seamlessly into middle school. You are an amazing person for all you do for these young ladies during one of the toughest times in their lives. We cannot thank you enough!"

What is Fearless Spirit?

About 8 years ago, I started hearing from EVERY mother of a middle school girl, how their self-confidence plummeted when they reached middle school. This is when girls start to be mean and bully other girls. Their once out-going child, was now shy, sad, guarded and kept to themselves most of the time. And then, add Covid anxiety on top of that. They have a lot stacked against them. Parents can only do so much. Parents can tell them, until they’re blue in the face, how beautiful and special they are, but teens need something more.

Having self-confidence at this time in their life is vital for building a strong person, that will believe in themselves and succeed at their life goals. I began Fearless Spirit Model Crew for girls 11-16 years old, who are really struggling with their self-confidence and anxiety. This is a totally different approach to help teens. They get their own custom photoshoot and get to participate in 7-8 monthly fun and artistic group sessions.

By seeing beautiful images of themselves, over and over, for 7 months, they start to see how beautiful they are and how cool it is to be unique and stand out from the crowd.
