Powerful Self-Esteem Building

One of the most powerful tools in building self-esteem is seeing yourself doing something awesome! This is even more relevant in our youth today when images are a constant in their world. Social media has taken photos to a whole other level.

There is a lot of pressure on today’s youth. They are hard on themselves, peers and society can be cruel and leave our young people with low self-image and struggling. They can’t always see how incredible they are. This is why environmental portraits are so important to invest in!

Authentic Portraits

I believe in the power of authentic youth portrait photography in sports and activities. I have seen and heard the joy and the excitement when they see their game photos. They are genuinely surprised and in awe! I have heard stories from families about how proud their children are to see and show their images. I see the profile photos change to their sports portraits and social media stories blow up with their action photos! Images are one of the most powerful things we have in our world today. They evoke emotion, they freeze time, they provide a way to share special moments and capture the unseen.

Core Memories

I specialize in genuine, in the moment, portraits and action images of kids just being who they are, the real, the true and the amazing. Capturing natural images unveiling your child’s authentic uniqueness and personality along with the meaningful and epic moments that are shaping your child’s core memories and self-image throughout these influential and significant years. Images taken in an environment that matters to them. Photos they will cherish because it captures their story and their memories.

Strength and Courage

Youth sports is a world of its own, it can be exhilarating with the highest of highs and it can be devastating with heartbreak and tears. This is why it is so important to have photographs. Regardless of the outcome of the game, or the mistakes made or the incredible game-changing plays your child will be able to see dynamic images of themselves in their element, doing what they love. Images that capture individuality, strength, and courage.

Remind them of their Awesomeness!

Youth are in the prime of their life, building bonds and memories throughout their childhood and teen years. Taking risks, belonging to something bigger than themselves, working hard, committed and determined to their own achievements and their team goals. Imagine the confidence that will rise as they see themselves in images that portray the very thing they are excited and passionate about? Imagine having the ability to show them beautiful images that reveal their capabilities and truth when they can’t see it on their own? When they forget how or why during those tough times, when they need a reminder of how important they are and how far they have come? Photos that capture their story, that build their legacy and affirm their truth! They are amazing! They are powerful! They can do hard things! And they are worth having epic photos of their awesomeness!

The Little Moments and the Big Ones

Not only are these important images special to your children, they will be cherished by you too! Families do not often get to see the little moments of their child’s experience. The intense eyes as they watch their teammates on the field in the last minutes of the game. The pensive focus as they prepare for battle. The laughter and cheering with their team after a goal. The high-five, the hug, the comforting pat on the back from teammates on the sidelines. The moment to take a breath and gather strength when they are tired and want to give up. The sweat, grit and dirt as they give their all for what they love.

You can't capture these moments in the stands with your phone, they will be missed and gone for good. And these in between moments are just as important as the big ones and that is why it's so important to capture both! These times are precious both to youth and families. The moments are fleeting and the years go by so quickly. Together you can relive these moments time and time again.

More Than Just a Game

This is why when I am photographing sports I am not just documenting the game, my passion is to capture the essence of the people playing the game - yes the action and incredible moments but also the personality, determination, emotions, moments shared with teammates and coaches, because sports is so much more than just a game.

Testimony

The pics Kelly Theresa Photography takes each week of R. and his teammates are absolutely amazing. I can't wait each week for the newest batch. If you ever need photos of your rising athletic star I cannot recommend her enough!

Kelly I can never repay you enough for what you have provided but I can recomment and send all the love your way. It's pretty rare that R. enjoys his photo being taken but he waits for your posts too. He can't wait to see if you captured 'this' or 'that' moment in the game.
