We focus on helping young girls set powerful goals, measure their progress, learn from setbacks, and live with gratitude.

We believe that every girl has the potential to lead, inspire, and achieve greatness!
Do you have a tween between the ages of 8 and 12?
​
As parents, we know this is one of the hardest stages of adolescence. We all want to help our children feel empowered, confident, and fearless during this crucial time.
​
But let’s face it—it’s HARD!
​
With the fast-changing world of social media and outside influences, it’s easy for tweens to be overwhelmed by negative thoughts and self-doubt. As parents, we often wonder: How can we help them navigate these challenges?
​
Be part of the solution!
​
Join us for the EmpowerME: Tween Edition event—a unique empowerment experience combined with speakers, activities, and an exclusive portrait session by Avenue 9 Photography.

Hi, I’m Erin! With over 20 years of experience in both portrait photography and coaching gymnastics, I bring a unique perspective to empowering young girls. As a mom to two tweens, I understand firsthand the importance of building confidence in girls at this crucial age.
Having been a gymnast myself, I’ve witnessed how a growth mindset can transform skills and boost overall confidence with the guidance of some amazing coaches. It’s my passion to share these valuable lessons with other girls and young athletes, helping them strive for their best while feeling great about themselves!

How do I pick a location?At Avenue 9 Photography, we offer several location options for your portrait session. You can choose to have your session at our home studio, or we can come to your residence and set up a portable studio. If you prefer an outdoor location, we have many options we can recommend during your planning session. We'll work with you to pick a location that matches your vision for your portraits.
-
Why is printing my images so important?Printing your images is important because it allows you to enjoy and appreciate your photographs in a tangible way. Digital images can be easily lost or forgotten, but printed photographs can last for generations and become cherished family heirlooms. Additionally, printed photographs can be displayed in your home or office, adding a personal touch to your space and bringing joy to those who see them. At Avenue 9 Photography, we offer a variety of high-quality printing options to ensure that your images are displayed beautifully and stand the test of time.
-
How do I display my portraits?At Avenue 9 Photography, we believe that your portraits should be displayed in a way that reflects your personality and style. There are a variety of options available, from classic framed prints to modern canvas or metal prints. We can also create custom photo albums and collages. Our team will work with you to determine the best way to showcase your portraits in your home or office. Whatever your preference, we are committed to providing you with high-quality, timeless pieces that you will treasure for years to come.
-
What should I wear for the photoshoot?We understand that choosing the right outfit for your family portraits can be overwhelming. However, we recommend coordinating your outfits to create a cohesive look. During your pre-planning session, we will discuss your vision and provide you with helpful tips on what to wear. We encourage you to wear something comfortable and reflective of your family's personality. Keep in mind that solid colors and simple patterns work best in photos. Don't be afraid to accessorize and add some personal touches to make your photos unique. Remember, the most important thing is to be yourself and have fun
-
How do I book a session?Booking a session with us is easy! Simply visit our website and click on the "Book Now" button on the homepage. From there, you can select the type of session you're interested in and choose a date and time that works best for you. We will reach out by phone to chat more about what services you need and what to expect during your pre-planning session together. A session fee is required to confirm the day and time of your session.
-
What should my child wear?Please ensure your child wears comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for physical activity (such as rock climbing). Since they will also be having a mini portrait session, we recommend bringing a second outfit or wearing something that will photograph well. This way, your child can feel confident and look great in their pictures!
-
Should my child bring anything to the event?Just an open mindset! We will provide all necessary materials for the workshops and activities, along with a sweet treat at the end!
-

-
Can my child attend if she is older than 12 but in Jr. High?EmpowerME is currently open to girls aged 8-12. At this time we also accept girls up to age 14 that are in Jr High. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate children younger than 8 at this time. If you're interested in a program for younger girls or older teens, please let us know—we’d love to create additional groups based on demand!
-
Can parents stay and watch the event?We encourage parents to drop off their tweens so they can fully engage and participate independently in the activities. The event is designed to be an empowering experience just for the girls, so we won’t typically have opportunities for parents to stay and observe during the event. Rest assured, your child will be in great hands with our experienced staff! However if you feel inclined to stay please reach out to Erin and she will be happy to accommodate and needs or answer any questions.
-
Will there be supervision during the event?Yes! The entire event will be supervised by experienced coaches, workshop leaders, and volunteers who are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for all attendees.
-
How can I be a Sponsor, Donor, Speaker or Volunteer?We’d love your support! If you're interested in sponsoring the event, donating, speaking, or volunteering, please contact us at erin@avenue9photography. We’re always looking for passionate individuals and organizations to help empower and inspire the next generation of girls.
