Tween Model Call
Announcing our first model call of the year! What is a Tween Model Call, you ask? Well let me tell you. First off, a Tween is a youngster, according to dictionary.com, that is between 10 and 12 years of age and considered too old to be a child and too young to be a teenager. Second, a model call, in the photographers realm, is when we offer sessions for free or a small fee in order to practice posing, build portfolios, gain exposure, advertise something new, or a number of other reasons. In my particular Tween Model Call my goal is all of the above.
I’ve noticed in the past several years, as I have grown in the photographer community and gained many photographer friends across the country that no one really focuses on this precious stage of life. This age seems to be, for a lack of a better word, forgotten. We celebrate the newborns, the milestones, the first birthdays, young children, and then we jump to high school. We need to celebrate these last years of childhood….before entering teen-dom. For this particular model call I chose to ask for tween girls in an effort to utilize the opportunity to do some stylized photos with ball gown or vintage type dresses….as well as some normal, nice outfit, portraits.
So, after all that here’s the low down. I’m looking for tween girls, between the ages of 10-12, who are comfortable being in front of a camera. I’ll be spending the month of February gathering applications and selecting girls. The number of girls selected will depend on the number of applications received. March will be a month of my gathering and/or purchasing dresses, planning shoot locations and getting to know the tweens and their parents. At that point I’ll be scheduling the sessions, according to what works with each tween, in the month of April and May when spring is in bloom.
If you or your girl are interested in participating in the tween model call please submit to me, at Little Wonders Portraiture, 3 photos (cell phone pictures will work), their name, age, height and dress size before February 28, 2017 to be considered. As a thank you for those selected you will receive your choice of a digital/print packages and a discount on additional items. Those not selected will receive a discount for a future session with Little Wonders for their tween or their family.
If you would like to book one of my normal session you can view my session fees on my investment page.
