These crucial “in-between” years, between childhood and young adulthood, are a beautiful stage of transition that deserves to be captured.
In this blog post I hope to give families and photographers alike some helpful guidelines for posing with teen and tween young ladies. These photo ideas are helpful for whole family photoshoots or small mother-daughter sessions. All the girls in these photos range from about 10-15 years old.
I always encourage my mamas to be in the images as well because I adore photographing motherhood. And I’m so thankful for how this gallery turned out! If we’d only photographed the baby boy, we would missed out on this delightful gallery capturing their love, connection, and relationship. So mamas, don’t be shy—-step out in front of the camera and capture those moments!
This session was photographed in Mountain View, SF Bay Area, California, with a Canon Mark 5D IV and a 35mm Sigma camera lens. All photos are edited by hand (no presets/actions) using Lightroom and Photoshop.

We photographed this Mommy & Me Photo Session outside in a field, right at sunset. I used golden backlighting to create a sun-soaked, candid, summertime feel for these family portraits. I simply adore their unique connections here. This session features unposed moments and authentic interactions. These sweet boys were full of energy and a healthy dose of mischief. It’s always fun to take little boys outside and let them run barefoot, wild & free, right where they belong!
