About 10 years ago, I photographed Ainslee as a fairy. Ainslee is a ball of energy. She is typically the "life of the party". She beats to her own drum of music and has a colorful way of expressing herself.
She loves chorus, drama, art, music and dance. She can, literally, bend in half. SO COOL!!
Before joining the Fearless Spirit Model Crew, she struggled with anxiety and being bullied by other girls at school. Someone took photos of Ainslee (without her knowing) and then posted them on social media, with a mean caption.
Ainslee has a great energy about her that people really love being around. She is always cheerful and ready to have fun. It was great to see how much she has changed, over the year, on the Fearless Spirit Model Crew.
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.
Applications are OPEN for the Fearless Spirit Model Crew - Deadline February 1st 🔴
