Just the perfect breakout I needed to photograph my older kids! I LOVED the tips from all the three ladies here and I know I will be referring back to the videos and PDF’s for many months to come!
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review Jyo! We are so glad you enjoyed the material.
For anyone shooting teens or tweens, this breakout is absolutely priceless! I especially love that it is three different perspectives and parents of boys, girls, and varying ages. I’m so excited for my next teen session so I can try out all these new tips! Shooting teens can be so tricky and their personalities are all over the map, but this breakout really covers IT ALL! Thank you ladies for this resources and all your help <3
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review of this course Lori! We are so glad you enjoyed the material.
I loved this breakout so much. I have such a hard time with getting my older kids to cooperate these days I needed this push in my creativity. These amazing artists put together a wonderful breakout with so many tips and tricks to try. While I value my kids’ privacy on socials, I hope to be able to capture their personalities so that I can fill my scrapbook for years to come. Thank you for a breakout that focuses on the second half of thier childhood, it would be a shame to miss out on these valuable teen years.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review of this course Jessica! We are so glad you enjoyed the material.
I don’t have teens yet, but I know the time is coming, and this is the perfect preparation! Tucking this away for the tough times to come!
Thank you so much for the kind review Kate!
This breakout has been so great. I love Ardelle, Rachel and Dana they are so creative and I love they all have different styles. The breakout was amazing. Tons of ideas and ready to put to practice. I been photographing in my business more preteens and teens and it has helped me being more creative.. It has been game changing for me and I also has helped me capture my own teens. I highly recommend it and I will be happy to answer any questions. Thank you ladies for your amazing support and talent.

Thank you so much Monica for your review! I am so happy you enjoyed the breakout!
Thank you Monica for the kind review! I am so glad you enjoyed the Breakout!
Thanks so much for this awesome review, Monica! I’m so glad to hear you got so much out of our breakout!
This breakout is phenomenal! So many great tips and tricks that I was able to use immediately with my senior sessions. Upped my teen game and made me so much more comfortable shooting this (often) uncomfortable-in-front-of-the-camera age. Oh, and there are a lot of fun creative ideas as well! Haven’t tried the double exposure (one example) yet, but after seeing other participants’ images, I’m excited to. Highly recommend this breakout.
So glad you enjoyed the breakout Nina! Thank you for your kind review!
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the breakout, Nina! Thank you so much for your review!
Thank you so much Nina for your review! I am so happy you enjoyed the breakout!
This breakout, taught by three artists I’ve admired for a long time, has been a game changer in photographing my not-so-cooperative-in-front-of-the-camera tween boys. I’ve learned the importance of collaborating with my preteens before a photo session and now I’m capturing more authentic and pleasing images of them than ever before. I’m also enjoying these sessions more, not only because the photos are turning out better but because my boys are not complaining about doing them. A win-win! Posing guides are included in the PDF as well as in the shooting videos and they are so very helpful. Additionally, this breakout includes shooting videos that demonstrate creative ways to produce unique and beautiful effects in your images. In addition to trying these techniques with my boys, I shared them with my teenage niece and she is excited to try them out with me too. I loved watching the instructors edit and learned new tips to fine tune my editing skills.This is a FANTASTIC breakout that has given me renewed enthusiasm in taking photos of pre teens and teens! I highly recommend it!
Thank you for your kind and thorough review Terrilynn! So happy you have renewed enthusiasm to photograph your tweens and the other teens in your family.
Thank you so much for this lovely review, Terrilynn! I’m so happy you enjoyed the breakout!
Thank you so much Terrilynn for your review! I am so happy it has been a game changer!
I’m just getting started, but loving it so far. Great information.
Thank you Susan for the review! Glad you are enjoying Teenology so far!
Hi Susan! So glad you’ve joined us and I’m happy to hear you are enjoying the breakout!
Thank you so much Susan for your review! I am so happy you are enjoying the breakout so far!
This breakout has given me confidence to snap photos of teens (other than my own children who have grow weary of my constant pleading for them to pose for me) and to aim for creative shots instead of the more documentary ones I take for my job at a school. Thank you, Ardelle, Dana, and Rachel for sharing your experience.
I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the breakout, Teresa! Thanks so much for your review!
Thank you Teresa for the kind review! So happy you enjoyed Teenology!
Thank you so much Teresa for your review! I am so happy you enjoyed the breakout!
I am just beginning to dive into this breakout and have already changed the way I capture my teen boy. We have conversations as to why I want to capture his moments and allow him to help me come up with a vision. He was usually pretty good with getting in front of my camera, but has been not so happy about lately…until now. Just a few days in and I can see a difference already! I am also anxious to apply all these techniques and posing suggestions when I start up senior sessions this summer! Such a wonderful deal for this incredible breakout!
It has been so wonderful having you so engaged and involved in this breakout, Dallas! You are creating stunning work and I love hearing that you are seeing a difference with your son’s willingness to get in front of the camera! Can’t wait to see how you apply all of this to your senior sessions! Thanks so much for your review!
Thank you so much for your review Dallas! I am so happy it has been helpful!
Thank you Dallas for the kind review! I have enjoyed seeing your picture shares. I am so glad you are enjoying Teenology!
I signed up for this breakout and I don’t even have teens… but I can tell you it’s been very helpful, inspiring and resourceful. I got tips and tricks that I can use with my 5 year old (who is already aware of the camera and tends to hide when I pull it out). I love the idea that the pictures can be a mother – daughter project, where we both express our creativity (and emotions) through a wonderful memory that will last forever. 21€ well spent! Yes, hello from Barcelona, Spain.
Thank you Lina for the kind review! So glad you were able to apply the tips and techniques included in the breakout to collaborate with even your younger daughter.
Hi Lina! I love that you gathered some tips and inspiration from our breakout! Collaborating with our kids can be so fun and rewarding. Thanks for your kind review!
Thank you so much for your review Lina! I am so glad it was helpful even for your younger daughter!
I’ve been in such a creative rut lately, and this was EXACTLY what I needed to get my groove back. All three teachers brought great info in their own unique way. By the end of the breakout I was having a blast taking photos of my teen daughter.
Thank you Nicole for the kind review! So glad Teenolgoy was exactly what you needed!
I know how those creative ruts can go and I’m so happy that you found some inspiration from our breakout! Thanks for your kind review, Nicole!
Thank you so much for your review Nicole! I am so happy it helped!
I am loving this breakout. It is exactly what I needed. My kids have suddenly got to the age where they don’t know what to do when I pull out my camera. This breakout is full of ideas. Truly inspiring!
Thank you LaDonna for the kind review! Glad you are enjoying Teenology!
I’m so happy to hear you loved our breakout! Thanks so much for you review!
Thank you so much for your review LaDonna! I am so glad it was helpful!
This breakout is fantastic! It’s full of fantastic creative tips, and is just what I need to help engage my tween (almost teen, crazy!) niece and nephew better. They really don’t seem to like to have their photos taken, so I’m sure everything I learn in this breakout will help out with that. I can’t recommend it enough!
Thank you Kristin for the kind review! So glad you are enjoying Teenology!
Thanks so much for your review, Kristin! I’m so glad you picked up some creative tips and inspiration from our breakout!
Thank you so much for your review Kristin! I am so glad it was helpful!
As a Mom of three teenagers and a high school senior photographer I was excited when I saw this breakout. It has exceeded my expectations with tips on posing, communicating, lighting, and even some super incredible creativity ideas. I am excited to try out all I have learned. I highly recommend this breakout. It is money well spent! A real bargain for a wealth of information. The instructors are each incredible.
Hello Melissa! Thank you for your kind words about Teenology! I’m so happy you enjoyed it and we appreciate you leaving a review!
Thank you Melissa for the kind review! This means a lot. So glad you enjoyed the breakout!
Thank you so much for your review Melissa! I am so glad you enjoyed the breakout!
I didn’t realize what a challenge photographing tweens and teens would be until I had my own! Having two boys, I have struggled to find inspiration that showcases their personality without looking forced. This breakout is full of practical advice and tips! I am so excited to capture my boys during their teen years now! I feel that this breakout gives me those skills to capture them in a unique and memorable way.
Thank you so much for your review Karen! I am so happy it was helpful for you!
Thank you you for your kind review Karen! I am so glad you enjoyed the breakout!
Hi Karen! I’m so happy to hear that you are feeling inspired to photograph your teens! Thanks so much for you review!
My kids are 8 and under, so I don’t have a ton of experience photographing tweens and teens on a regular basis. When I have friends or clients with tweens or teens that I am photographing, I always feel very awkward with posing them and prompting them, and they end up looking uncomfortable a lot of the time. I’ve had the chance to dive into the materials for this breakout, and it is THE ANSWER for anyone who was feeling the same way that I was. I now feel equipped for creating shooting, prompting, etc. with this age group, and I can’t wait to try out some of the tips and tricks that I have learned!! THANK YOU to the instructors for putting together such a great breakout to help us better photograph this age group!!
Thank you so much for your review, Jamie! I’m so happy to hear you feel more equipped and inspired to capture the tweens and teens in your life!
Thank you so much for the kind review Jamie! I am glad you enjoyed the breakout and are ready to confidently photograph tweens and teens!
Thank you so much for your review Jamie! I am so happy it was helpful for you!
I am soaking up all this content!! I feel like a sponge!! I have taken tons of notes and immediately put into pracitce some of the very detailed ideas for posing. I love the videos and the immediate suggestions to help relax my tween and capture natural poses. Our instructors Dana, Rachel and Ardelle are very engaged and answer questions quickly with detailed reponses! This is my first clickphoto workshop and I am super impressed. But mostly, I am inspired. So, thank you!
Thank you Lindsay for the kind review! Glad you joined us for your first ClickPhotoSchool Breakout and you were both impressed and inspired.
Thank you so much for your review Lindsay! I am so happy you enjoyed it and are inspired by the materials!
Thanks for your kind words about our breakout! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I just got through all of the materials in this break out and it has really helped change my perspective on how to photograph teens. There are so many fantastic tips on posing and lighting but even more importantly there are ideas on how to engage and respect teens in the creative process. If you are feeling at all frustrated with photographing your own children as they get older or if you photograph teen clients, this breakout is full of fresh ideas!
Thank you so much for your review, Stacy! I’m so glad you enjoyed our breakout!
Thank you Stacy for the kind review! I am so glad you enjoyed Teenology!!
Thank you so much Stacy for your review! I am so happy it was helpful and you will be able to use fresh ideas going forward!
Teenology is one of my favorite breakouts! The information, tips, ideas and creativity can be used immediately in your photographing family and clients. I have two boys, ages 12 and 14, and they both are very limited on what they will let me document. I’m excited to used this new learning experience to help me capture this stage of their lives. Thank you for collaborating and putting together so much Information to share!
Thank you kindly Anne for your kind comment! I’m so glad you enjoyed the breakout and have left with tips and techniques you can apply to photograph your boys.
Thank you so much for your review Anne! I am so happy that you enjoyed it and will be able to use the ideas and techniques immediately with your boys!
Thanks for your review, Anne! I’m so happy to hear you feel more inspired to photograph your boys!
Teens are so much fun but I struggle to find creative ways to photograph them. This breakout contained so much information about getting your teen involved in the photo shoot, lighting, posing, vision, and connection. I took some pictures of my daughter today and I implemented many of the techniques. And my daughter commented that she had fun! Now that’s a first :) Thank you Dana, Ardelle, and Rachel!!!
Thank you kindly for your review Dana! So glad you were able to collaborate with your daughter to create photos you can both be happy about!
Hi Dana, thank you so much for your review! We are so happy that it was helpful and that your daughter had fun after using some the techniques!

Hello Dana! Thanks so much for your wonderful review of our breakout! I love hearing that you took your daughter for photos and had a fun experience! That is exactly why we wanted to create this class. Thanks so much for sharing!
Even though I myself don’t have teens yet since my kids are under 7 years old, I feel prepared to capture that milestone in their life in a fun and creative way. This breakout is also a great tool for anyone that photographs high school seniors or families with older kids! There is also so much more than just info about teens in this breakout-using light, natural props, posing and so much more. Packed with very useful information!
Thank you Agnes for your kind review! So happy you enjoyed Teenology!
Thank you so much for your review Agnes! We are so happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the kind review, Agnes! I’m so glad you found our breakout so useful!
I cannot wait to start this breakout, I just purchased it today. From what I’ve read in the reviews, I am sure that I will be learning a lot.
Thank you for joining us Casey! We have been so happy with the positive feedback, look forward to hearing yours!
We are so happy that you are joining us Casey!
Yay! Happy you are joining us, Casey!
This breakout is so incredible! Shooting with older kids has always been a challenge and there really has never been any good education materials that give practical advice – until now! I am so grateful that these three amazing photographers are sharing their knowledge. My boys are getting older and this breakout couldn’t have come at a better time!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Natalie! I’m so happy you enjoyed our breakout!
Thank you so much for your kind review Natalie! Grateful you joined us and glad enjoyed the breakout.
Thank you so much Natalie for your review! We are so glad it was helpful!
This breakout session has been amazing. I have found that as my children get older, I get the camera out less often – there just aren’t as many milestones or activities to document. This breakout has inspired me to be more active in capturing the moments of my tween and teenager. From getting more cooperation from my tween who hates the camera (and always has) to ideas on how to pose my teen, to fun ideas to spark some creativity – it’s all here. The instructors are amazing. They provide thoughtful answers to questions, and encouragement as we try new things and share our images.
Thank you so much Laura for your review! I am so happy that you enjoyed it!!
Yay! I’m so happy you enjoyed our breakout, Laura! Thank you so much for this awesome review!
Thank you Laura for your kind review! We are so happy that you enjoyed Teenology.
I have been waiting for a teen based guide for SOOOO long- what a dream to have all three mentors togethers teaching this.
I JUST dove in and I’m already completely inspired. Thank you ladies for putting so much heart into this.
We are so glad this is exactly what you have been waiting for and are left inspired! Thank you Christine for the kind review!
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you so much for your review Christine!
I’m so happy you are finding inspiration from our breakout! Thanks so much for your review.
My journey in photography started in 2004 when I took a trip to India and discovered how culturally diverse and beautiful our planet is. I have always felt that photography was like a key that I was given to unlock the lives of others. I love photographing people of all nationalities and cultural backgrounds. To me it is fascinating! I was taught originally that I was a photojournalist and not a fine art photographer, and somewhere between that mindset and having children I lost my way. I believe that part of my journey though, has led me back to where I am right now as a photographer. And these ladies have help with this! I cannot speak highly enough about this breakout session, Teenology: A Guide to Photographing Tweens and Teens. I really cannot believe this session is only $25. You really do feel as if you are working with each of them one-on-one. This breakout just confirms my style of photography and has taught me SO much, not just with posing and shooting creatively but also with editing. I really feel like I have found my way!
Thank you so much for your review Katie! It means so much that you found your way with this breakout!
This is so meaningful, thank you for your kind review! I am joyed that this Breakout has helped you find your way.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the breakout, Katie! Thank you for sharing your journey and thank you so much for your review!
I loved this breakout. It gave very specific posing examples as well as great ideas for connecting with our beloved teens. All instructors materials were amazing, and appreciated the balance of more female examples in the beginning and ending with Ardelle’s male examples to finish. I have both so very glad to see examples from both. I will definitely be keeping these materials to reference in the future!
Thank you for your kind review Sarah, it means a lot. So glad you enjoyed our Breakout!
Thank you so much for your review Sarah! We are so happy you enjoyed it!!
Thanks for your thoughtful review, Sarah! I’m so happy you joined us!
I am in love with this breakout and it could not have come at a better time, since my kids are getting older. Watching the videos is so helpful and it is so much fun to see the artist’s creative process. I can not recommend this enough!
Thank you Jenny for your kind comment, this means a lot! So glad you enjoyed our breakout!
Thank you so much Jenny for your review! We are so happy you enjoyed it!!
Thanks so much for your review, Jenny! It means so much to hear that you enjoyed the breakout!
A great breakout! Good vidoes with clear examples and I really LOVE the written teenology guide – I got o lot of tips and a lot of new ideas of how to approach this kind of photography. I especially love how you think about connecting with the subject and engaging them in everything. Thank you!
Thank you kindly Hillevi! Your review is much appreciated. We are so glad you loved Teenology.
Thank you so much for your review Hillevi! We are so happy you enjoyed it!!
I’m so glad you liked our breakout, Hillevi! Thanks so much for your review!
My very first breakout and I am loving it. Ardelle, Rachel and Dana don’t hold anything back when it comes to sharing their knowledge of photographing older children. They each have their unique style so there is plenty of inspiration to draw from. Their clear explanation of the topic is accompanied with many beautiful images and that at least for me makes this breakout so much more interesting. I highly recommend it to any mom whos mission is to capture their kids but also client’s older children in emotional and more artistic way. Thank you ladies.
So glad you chose to join us Lucia! Thank you for your kind review!
Thank you so much for your review Lucia! We are so happy you enjoyed it!!
I’m so glad you joined us for our breakout! Thanks so much for your review of Teenology!
Photographing children is always a challenge. Photographing teens can be an entire different level of challenge. As my children got older, so did the challenge to find ways to document them and keep my creative spirit going. In this breakout Rachel, Dana, and Ardelle teach you how to work with your teens while also teaching your how to make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. Each photographer gives you their own tips and tricks on what has worked for them with not only their own kids but clients as well. This breakout is a must if you have kids in the tween or teen age. This age might be difficult, but it goes by just as quickly as the early years. You need to document it and these ladies will make the process much easier!
Thank you Jess! Your kind review is much appreciated. So glad you enjoyed Teenology!
Thank you so much for your review Jess! We are so glad you enjoyed it!!
Love your review, Jess! Thank you so much! I agree it goes so very fast. Thanks so much for your kind words and for joining us for this breakout!
I am so grateful that this breakout came along right now. It is full of inspiration and helpful suggestions on how to engage with teenagers, whether you are in business or photographing your own teens. And, I appreciate that there are three different instructors offering a variety of approaches and scenarios– so very helpful!
Thank you so much for your kind review Aviva! Glad you are enjoying the Breakout!
Hi Aviva. Thank you so much for your review. I’m so happy you enjoyed our breakout and found it helpful!
Thank you so much for your review Aviva! We are so happy you enjoyed it!!
This breakout is simply amazing! Whether you shoot for personal use or clients, it’s packed with creative ideas and prompts that will have your subject feeling relaxed in front of the camera. All three instructors offer their personal tips and tricks to help you capture teens and tweens in a variety of settings – I’ve really enjoyed learning from them and can’t wait to put all of the new skills I’ve acquired to use!
Thank you Dee! This is such kind review. So glad you enjoyed the breakout!
Thank you so much for your review, Dee! So happy you enjoyed Teenology!
Thank you so much for your review Dee! We are so happy you enjoyed it!!
This class is full of awesome information. I have an 8yo daughter so this was the perfect class to help me navigate my interaction with her as she gets older. No matter what age I will always want to photograph my kids the way they are. This class definitely aims to do that. You will learn tips and tricks on how to work with a reluctant teenager. How to incorporate their personal style into your photos. The information here doesn’t just apply to teens. I can definitely use some of these tips for any young adult I may be working with.
Thank you kindly for your detailed review Chau!! We are so glad you enjoyed the breakout.
So happy you enjoyed the class, Chau! Thanks so much for your review!
Thank you so much for your review Chau! We are so glad you enjoyed it!!
Teenology and beyond. I love this new term and its ability to instantly spark curiosity instead of fear. This breakout is phenomenal at drawing your attention to the beauty of this season of life. Documenting teens is something new to me as my oldest has just turned 12. The shift from wanting to be in front of the camera to not wanting to be seen at all has been an emotional tug for me as a mom and photographer. Dana, Ardelle, and Rachel breathe assurance and creativity into the art of photographing this delicate age.
Ah I love that!! Thank you Lizzy for your kind review! We are so glad you enjoyed the breakout.
Hi Lizzy! Thank you so much for your awesome review!
Thank you so much for your review Lizzy! We are so happy you enjoyed it!!
Jam packed full of practical tips and tricks for engaging kids during those “turbulent teen years”. I am walking away from this breakout feeling so much more confident in how to interact with and get the best from teens and tweens that are less keen on the lens. I love the way the instructors have relayed their person experience in trying to respect their kids whilst still getting the creative outlet they crave. I would definitely recommend this breakout to anyone wondering how to convince their teens to get in front of the lens, or anyone regularly working with teenage/pre-teen clients.
Amazing review Aimee, thank you for your kind words! So glad you enjoyed the breakout!
Aimee! This review is so thoughtful and so appreciated! Thank you so much for joining us and I’m so happy that you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for your review Aimee! We are so happy you enjoyed it!!
I am LOVING this breakout so far! I typically photograph families with young kids but my own 3 kids are 11,14 and 17 now. As s they grow, I not only have wanted to learn how to take better and more creative photos of them but I also want better photos of my clients with older kids and high school seniors. This breakout is giving me tons of practical and creative tips for how to set up amazing shots, pose authentically and edit to create beautiful images. I can’t wait to start practicing on my kids!
YAY so glad you love the breakout Jenny! Thank you for your kind review!
Thanks so much for your review, Jenny! Really happy you enjoyed the breakout and I hope you will share some of the images you capture with us!
Thank you so much for your review Jenny! We are so happy you enjoyed it!!
In recent years I’ve found it difficult to strike a balance between respecting the wishes of my reluctant-to-be-photographed teens and satisfying my own creativity. The eye rolls and attitude had me reaching for my camera less often, and it just wasn’t fun any more. For a time I turned to other genres, BUT, my kids are ‘my why’ and I wasn’t ready to give up photographing their childhood. Enter Teenology. Thank goodness for this breakout! Three incredible instructors, each sharing their insight and approach to successfully photographing this stage. Where I saw obstacles, I now see opportunities and I am confident that following their tips and techniques will help bring the fun back. There is so much value in this class and I look forward to collaborating with my teens as we move through this stage in their lives. Thank you so much, ladies!
You are so very welcome Katy! Glad you enjoyed the breakout and have left with tips and techniques to help bring fun back to photographing your teens.
I can relate to your journey so much, Katy! This is why we felt so strongly about creating this class. It means so much to hear that you feel more inspired to capture your teens!
Katy, thank you so much for your review! I am so glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!
I have been a fan of these three beautiful ladies for years. I CANNOT believe that this breakout is only $25. Best $25 you could ever spend on your photography education!!!!! My daughter is now 13 and I have lost my photo mojo with her since she is now a moody teen. I love all of the inspiration and posing ideas. I have a renewed passion and excitement to pick up my camera again. Thanks for sharing your passion and hearts with us. And thanks so much for the AMAZING BREAKOUT!!!!!
Krista, thank you for your kind review, this means a lot. So glad this breakout inspired you to photograph your teen again!
Hi Krista! Thank you so much for your kind review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the breakout!
Thank you so much Krista for your review!!! We are so happy you loved it and have some new inspiration and posing ideas!!
Having twin 14 year old boys that run from my camera now, when I saw this breakout it was a must for me to purchase. I am sad that I don’t have the same pictures I used to have from when they were little. The information on approach, posing, dress and editing was great. I can’t wait to practice some of these techniques this weekend! I would definitly recommend purchasing this breakout.
Thank you so much for your review, Sue! I’m so happy you enjoyed the breakout and are feeling inspired to photograph your 14 year old boys! Love hearing that!!
Thank you so much for your kind review Sue! We are happy that you enjoyed the breakout and have left with new techniques to photograph your boys.
This breakout has so much awesome information. I’m learning how to tackle multiple exposures as well as other creative ways to add bokeh to your images. These ladies are amazing at what they do and are more than happy to share all their knowledge. Highly recommend this course.
Thanks so much, Chau! Appreciate your review!
Thank you so much for your review Sue! I am so glad it was helpful and that you are inspired to photograph your boys again!
I cannot express how much I am enjoying this breakout! I truly feel that Dana, Rachel and Ardelle have outdone themselves with course content. Photographing my children as teens is much less collaborative shall we say than when they were younger! In fact, it’s all one sided with the teens running the opposite direction of my camera! This course is filled with many tips to get them interested again as well as awesome ideas for creative teen photography and posing. The pdf was filled with great content and the videos were super helpful. I tried several tips and suggestions I learned last night during a client senior session and I’m thrilled with the results. This course is a must for teenage photography!
Yay! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed our breakout, Christy! Thrilled to hear you were able to put some of the techniques into practice at your client session. Thanks for your review!
Thank you so much for your kind review Christy! We are so happy you enjoyed the breakout and are already inspired to use the techniques!
Thank you so much for your review Christy! I am so happy that you are enjoying this breakout and have found it so helpful!
This is the perfect breakout for anyone who wants to photograph the teens and tweens in their life – whether that is your own kids or your clients, this breakout caters to both! I have four kids, two of whom are in the teen/tween stage and I have found the information in this breakout to be so helpful and exactly what I needed! Ardelle, Dana, and Rachel have poured so much of their knowledge into the PDF and the videos – they each come with different perspectives and shooting/editing styles; hearing the thought process that each of them use when shooting their teens is invaluable. So much is included from creative portraiture and posing, to how to talk to your teens to garner authenticity in your shots. They are truly the experts on this subject, and I am so enjoying learning from them! Don’t hesitate on this one if you’ve got someone in your life in this age group!!
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Kristen. I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed our breakout class!
Thank you kindly for your detailed review Kristen! I am happy to hear how much you enjoyed the breakout!
Hi Kristen! Thank you so much for your review and I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed it so much!
This is the breakout I’ve been waiting for- these are the most difficult ages to photograph authentically and in a way that feels comfortable and “cool” for the teen and tween crowd. It’s easy to lose the motivation to photograph this age because they can be less than enthusiastic about having their photos taken- this breakout helps you rip down those barriers and revive your energy for photographing this, often, intimidating era of growing up and becoming! So excited to take what I’m learning an apply it to my own work with both clients and my very own teenager! Thank you so much for all the heart and soul you poured into this!
Hi Desiree! This was our hope when creating this class and I’m so happy to hear it was helpful and inspirational for you! Thanks so much for your review!
Thank you Desiree! Your kind review means so much, we are so glad you enjoyed our breakout.
Thank you so much for your review Desiree! I am so happy that it has been helpful!
I am so excited for this breakout! I am a mom of a 14 year old and a 16 year old and I have been struggling with new and creative ways to photograph them. I want to document my kids so they will know I saw them and loved them for who they are, I also want to give them memories of what their teen years was like, styles, activities and other things that make our family complete. Finally a class for teen/tweens. I thank you Ardelle, Dana Leigh and Rachel for putting together this wonderful breakout that is full of helpful tips from communication, what to wear too creative, out of the box posing. I am so excited to know that I am not alone in wanting to document these wonderful years with our tween/teens.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review Ann! We are so glad you enjoyed the breakout!
Thanks so much for your review, Ann! So happy to hear you found this breakout so helpful for photographing your teens!
Thank you so much Ann for your review! We are thrilled that you found the breakout so helpful!
So much great content in this breakout! It’s awesome to get ideas and information from three different amazing photographers in one breakout. Posing, how to communicate with teens/tweens, ideas for photos, what to wear, lighting, settings, and I’m sure more that I’m not listing…so much is included. Such a great value for $25.
Thank you so much for your review, Jen! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed our breakout.

This class is incredible! My kids are 13 and 15 and I gave up photographing them for anything other than first day of school and Christmas card photos years ago. I am so excited to photograph them again! The tips and posing techniques are so helpful for someone like me who prefers to shoot plants. The videos are amazing — seeing the instructors work with their teens, engaging and directing. This is a class I will refer to again and again over the years. Plus, let’s be honest, it’s a steal at this price to have the ear of three phenomenal photographers.
Molly, thank you so much for this review of our breakout! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and are feeling inspired to photograph your teens!
You are always so kind and generous, thank you Molly . I am so glad this breakout inspired you to photograph your teen children again!
Thank you so much Molly for your review! I am so happy that this breakout has inspired you to work with your teens again!
Oh my goodness I am SO excited for this breakout! FINALLY a course that focuses specifically on older children and teens. I look forward to this breakout producing more photographers sharing their beautiful images of their older kids! They may not be chubby babies or toddlers anymore but there’s still stories to tell and we don’t want to miss out on capturing such a pivotal phase of our children’s lives!
Yay! Thanks Nicole! Love hearing that this is the course you’ve been waiting for! This is exactly the reason we wanted to create it! Thank you so very much for your review.
So glad you enjoyed the breakout! Yes I agree, I truly hope more photographers will start sharing photos of their tweens and teens! Thank you kindly for the review Nicole!
Nicole, thank you so much for your review! I agree, I hope that more photographers share beautiful images of their older children and we are thrilled that this breakout is what you have been waiting for!
Just started working through this breakout and wow! Just tons of wonderful content. My kiddos are in their tween/teen years and I’ve been struggling to get the story telling, emotive images of them. I’m hoping this helps me get closer to my vision for their images. Thank you Dana, Ardelle, and Rachel!
Thank you Josette for the kind review!! We are so glad you are enjoying the Breakout!

Thank you so much Josette for your review! We are so glad you are loving it!
Teenology was a breath of fresh air and just what I needed to recharge and get the creative juices flowing. I devoured the book and binge watched the videos and can’t wait to go back through them again and apply the tips and tricks that abound in this course! As a mom of two tweens and a photographer who specializes in senior and dance photography, the ideas and information throughout the book and videos in this course gave me a new perspective on how to approach the tweens and teens that I photograph, particularly my children. I appreciated the points about developing trust and connection with our children as they grow and we photograph them. I plan to be more mindful and invite my children into the creative process of photographing them and can’t wait to collaborate on new ideas as well as ensure that I let them see the final product and get their permission before posting on social media. I applied this yesterday after I finished the course and realized that I never showed my son the picture that I took of him and posted to social media. Oops! He was actually appreciative that I showed him the picture and made sure it was ok that I had shared it. I told him what I loved about the picture, and he told me what he liked about it. These little tips make a big impact, and I can’t wait to apply more as I continue to learn and grow in my photography skills. Thanks for an amazing course and inspiration!
Thank you for your kind and detailed feedback Katie. I loved hearing about the new discussions you are having with your son. Starting this mutual understanding, relatability and trust will be significant for you to continue to photograph your tween children.
Thank you so much for your review, Katie! I’m so happy to hear that you got so much out of it. Thanks so much for sharing all the reasons your loved our breakout!
Thank you so much for your review Katie! I am so glad that you have been able to apply the tips shared in the breakout!
This breakout has so much amazing content in it! Photographing older children is definitely a challenge, and so wholly different from photographing babies and toddlers. The instructors give such great ideas and direction for how to collaborate with older children to help give them ownership over the photographs that you take. I can’t wait to put this into practice with my older kids and clients!
Thank you kindly for your review Megan! I LOVE that, give them ownership over the photographs, exactly!! We are so happy you enjoyed the Breakout.
Megan, thank you so much for your thoughtful review!
Thank you so much for your review Megan!

Thanks so much for your review, Michelle! So happy you enjoyed our breakout!
Thank you so much Michelle!
I absolutely loves this breakout. It had tons of ideas. I have struggled with finding creative ways to get meaningful portraits of my tweens since they both run from the camera now. Bribing doesn’t seem to work anymore. I can’t wait to apply these techniques!!
Thank you so kindly Carol for your review! haha bribing doesn’t work for me either, finding other ways to elicit cooperation is key. So excited to see your work as you apply these techniques!
Aww thank you so much Carol for your review of our breakout! We are so happy that you have learned some new creative ways and ideas to get meaningful portraits of your tweens!
Thanks so much for your review, Carol! Love hearing that you got some inspiration and new ideas from our breakout!
This breakout is bursting with ideas, tips and techniques to stock your “toolbox” for when you have young people at a photo shoot. It’s such a wonderful time of expression and becoming who they will be – and to collaborate with them and capture that time in their life in a way that they are comfortable with and will be proud of, is priceless.
Thank you for your kind review Amy! Your words are well said, and we love that you also appreciate capturing this age group as much as we do. ❤️
Thank you so much Amy for your review! We are so thrilled you are enjoying it!
Amy! Absolutely loved having you as part of our breakout! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!
Having four boys, ages 2-12, I am more naturally drawn to photographing the baby. He’s small and usually in a fun mood and all the things are new and exciting to him. I find it to be more of a struggle to consistently document my older boys. I feel stumped when I try to get them directly in front of my camera. I am beyond thrilled with this breakout by Ardelle, Dana Leigh and Rachel. So many amazing tips and ideas for photographing tweens and teens. From connecting to them about why photography is important to you, ideas for posing, suggestions for clothing to really make your subject pop and your photos look cohesive, to editing after your session with your teen. I can’t say enough about how much this group of ladies has inspired me to pick up my camera and intentionally set out to get my older boys in front of my camera more. These teens years are new and can be hard for everyone. I want my boys to know that I see them. That they are important, and documenting them and their lives, is just as meaningful to me as documenting the toddler years with the baby. This breakout has given me to resources I need to do just that!
Awww thank you so much for your review Ryan! I am so glad this breakout has been helpful and that is has renewed your inspiration and intentions with your teens! I agree, it is just as important to photograph our tweens and teens too.
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review Ryan! Your words mean so much to us. You made me tear up when you wrote that you want your boys to know that you see them…aw my heart! We are so happy that you are enjoying the Breakout.
It makes me so happy to hear you enjoyed our breakout! Absolutely loved reading your thoughtful review! Thank you so much!
As my children have gotten older I’ve struggled to photograph them with the same passion as I was used to having in the younger years. I firmly believe though that these years are just as important as the younger years and this breakout helps navigate how to pose them, how to connect with them, how to get creative with their input, and many other concepts. These concepts aid in creating not just a treasure trove of photographic memories, but also opportunities to create together and bond with teens & tweens. This breakout is a must for anyone that photographs tweens & teen in their own family or for client families!
Thank you so much for this review of our breakout, Mickie! I’m so happy that you are enjoying it! I agree that these years are such important ones to capture of our tweens and teens!
Thank you so much for your kind and thorough review Mickie! We are so happy you are enjoying the Breakout!
