What Is a Tween Portrait Session
Not a school photo.
Something they’ll actually love.
The tween years are a fleeting, beautiful chapter — and they deserve to be documented in a way that actually captures who your child is right now. Not a stiff school portrait. Not a snapshot. A real, guided session where they get to feel like the main character for a day.
At The BeVard Studio, every tween session includes professional hair and makeup scaled to their age, a fully guided posing experience so they never feel awkward, and a relaxed private studio where they can completely be themselves. See exactly what the experience looks like →
Our private studio is in Farmingdale, New York — easily accessible from anywhere across Long Island, including Nassau County, Suffolk County, and beyond.
Is This For Your Tween
Made for the in-between years —
when everything is changing.
01
You want to capture them before this chapter passes
The tween years go fast. They’re not little anymore — but they’re not grown either. This is the sweet spot, and it deserves to be documented beautifully before it’s gone. A gift to them, and to yourself.
02
They deserve a confidence boost
Tweens can be hard on themselves. A session at The BeVard Studio — where they’re the star, they’re guided every step of the way, and they see how incredible they look — can be genuinely transformative. Many moms tell us their daughter walked out a different kid. We also offer mom & me sessions if you want to do it together.
03
You want something meaningful for a milestone
A birthday. A Bat Mitzvah. A quinceañera. The end of elementary school. The start of middle school. Whatever the milestone — a professional portrait session is the kind of gift that lasts far longer than anything you can wrap.
What’s Included
Everything they need
to feel incredible.
Age-Appropriate Hair & Makeup
Our beauty team creates fresh, age-appropriate looks that enhance your tween’s natural features without overdoing it. They’ll look like themselves — just the most polished, confident version.
Wardrobe Options
We have gowns and wardrobe pieces available for tweens, or they can bring their own outfits. We’ll walk you through exactly what works best on camera during your consultation.
Full Posing Direction
Every single pose is guided. They never have to wonder what to do or how to stand. We make it fun, relaxed, and easy — and we’re really good at getting authentic expressions from tweens.
Private Studio Experience
Our Farmingdale studio is entirely theirs for the session — no strangers, no shared spaces. A relaxed, private environment where they can let their personality shine without an audience.
Professional Retouching
Every image is professionally retouched — polished and beautiful while keeping them looking completely natural and age-appropriate.
Private Image Reveal
After the session, we present the finished images together. Watching your tween see themselves in those photos for the first time is one of the most special moments we get to witness.
International Portrait Masters Award-winning photography — recognized among the finest portrait studios in the world.
How It Works
Their session,
step by step.
Step 01
Your Consultation Call
We start with a quick conversation with mom (or dad) about the session — what your tween loves, what vibe they want, and what you’d like to walk away with. We make sure everything is perfectly planned before they ever walk through the door. Meet Mary →
Step 02
Style Prep
Before the session we send a full prep guide covering wardrobe, what to expect on the day, and how to get your tween excited and ready. They’ll arrive knowing it’s going to be fun — because it genuinely is.
Step 03
Hair, Makeup & Their Session
They arrive at our private Farmingdale studio, get pampered by our beauty team, and then we photograph them with full direction and energy. Most tweens arrive nervous and leave asking when they can come back.
Step 04
Their Image Reveal
We present the finished, retouched images in a private reveal. Watching a tween see how incredible they look in those photos is something we never get tired of. Their portraits are delivered in high resolution, ready to print and frame.
“Mary is truly a dream to work with. She gives very clear directions on poses and keeps the great vibes going throughout the entire session. I have never seen so much personality shown in photos — she made me want to come back and take even more.”— Haylee · Portrait Session · Farmingdale, NY
A Gift Like No Other
The portrait they’ll keep
their whole life.
A tween session at The BeVard Studio is more than a photo shoot. It’s the day they felt like the most beautiful, confident version of themselves — and had the images to prove it.
These are the portraits they’ll show their own kids someday. The ones that live in frames on bedroom walls. The images that remind them, years from now, of exactly who they were in this chapter. See our full range of portrait studio services →
