Capturing Teens and Preteens are our speciality. We know at this age, it is important that they have fun without being dragged out to a photo shoot because that's what mom wants! Haha! All of the teens we see, always ask to come back again after their shoot!
As a teen or preteen, the world of fashion is constantly evolving, and it's never too early to start exploring your personal style. Two preteens recently had the opportunity to do just that in a photo shoot on Broad Street in Philadelphia. With a backdrop of the city's architecture and culture, these young fashionistas showed off their unique looks and personalities. Let's take a closer look at this fashion-forward photo shoot.
Setting the Stage – Broad Street, Philadelphia
Broad Street in Philadelphia is not just any ordinary street. It's the kind of place where you can feel the pulse of the city, and it's the perfect location for a fashion shoot that's all about showcasing personal style. With iconic landmarks like City Hall and the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in the background, the photos from this shoot are sure to capture the essence of the city. The architecture of the buildings provides a stunning contrast to the two young models and their outfits.
But it's not just the buildings that make Broad Street special. It's the energy of the city that really brings the shoot to life. There's something about the buzz of the people and the constant movement that makes this location the perfect setting for a fashion-forward shoot. Whether it's the way the wind blows through the girl's blue dress or the way the boy's black pants catch the sunlight just right, there's an energy in these photos that's hard to ignore.
In a world where personal style is so important, it's refreshing to see two preteens exploring their own fashion choices and making them their own. The photos from this shoot are a testament to the idea that fashion doesn't have to be exclusive or intimidating. Instead, it can be a way to express yourself and embrace your unique style. And what better place to do it than on the streets of Philadelphia?
What age range qualifies as preteens and why are they being targeted in this shoot?
Simply put, the term preteens generally refers to children between the ages of 9 to 12. The reason they're being targeted in this Philadelphia photo shoot is to capture the vibrant energy and unique personalities of this age group in a fun and exciting city environment. Plus, this is what mom wanted!
What landmarks or unique spots in Philadelphia were used as backgrounds for the shoot?
Mom wanted a vibrant and exciting Philadelphia photo shoot that aimed to capture the youthful spirit of her preteens. This included notable city landmarks and spots used as backdrop to add unique character to the images. For example, City Hall in the Background and the Kimmel Center. I also like using the Merriam Theater and side streets.
The Girl in Blue – A Pop of Color in the City
The girl in the blue dress brought a burst of color to the city streets during this photo shoot. I really love blue as city shadows seem to show off blue so pastel colors and jewel tones always are gorgeous here! Her outfit was a statement piece, with a vibrant blue hue that made her stand out against the neutral background. The dress added an element of fun and playfulness to the photos, and the strappy sandals and simple jewelry complemented the look perfectly. But it wasn't just her outfit that made her shine; her confidence and self-assuredness added to the overall effect.
Her perfectly styled hair added to the youthful, carefree vibe of the shoot, and her smile was infectious. It was clear that she was comfortable in her own skin and in the outfit she was wearing. It's not always easy to be bold and make a statement with fashion, especially at a young age, but this girl showed that it can be done with ease.
In a world where fitting in can be the norm, it was refreshing to see someone embrace their individuality and showcase their unique style. This young fashionista proved that personal style doesn't have to be boring or bland; it can be fun, colorful, and full of life. And what better place to do it than on the bustling streets of Philadelphia?
The Boy in a Dress Shirt and Black Pants – A Touch of Sophistication
While the girl in blue brought a pop of color to the shoot, the boy in the dress shirt and black pants exuded a sense of sophistication that was beyond his years. His outfit was simple but refined, with a crisp white dress shirt that contrasted perfectly with his black pants. The black leather shoes completed the look, making him look sharp and put-together. But it wasn't just his outfit that made him stand out; it was the confidence and poise that he exuded.
The way he carried himself in front of the camera was impressive, and it was clear that he was comfortable in his own skin. His sleek side-parted hair added to his classic, timeless look, and his expression was calm and collected. It was inspiring to see a young person embrace a more sophisticated look, especially in a world where casual styles are often the norm.
This young fashion-forward preteen showed that fashion doesn't have to be restricted to a particular age group or gender. His outfit was both stylish and age-appropriate, and it showed that personal style is all about experimentation and exploration. It's refreshing to see a young person embrace a more sophisticated look and make it their own, and it's a reminder that fashion can be an avenue for self-expression at any age. In a world where casual styles are often the norm, it was exciting to see a young person break the mold and set a new standard for preteen fashion.
The Dance of Light and Shadow - Photography Elements
The magic of photography lies in the way it captures light and shadow. In this fashion-forward preteen photo shoot, the photographers used the architecture of the city to create stunning contrasts of light and shadow. The play of light on the girl's blue dress and the boy's black pants is captivating, and the photographers' skillful use of bokeh adds an extra layer of interest to the photos. The way the sunlight casts shadows on the girl's face in some photos adds an element of mystery and intrigue.
But it's not just the use of light and shadow that makes these photos stand out. The photographers also played with angles and perspectives to create dynamic images that showcase the cityscape and the models. The photos taken from above show the models in the context of the city, while the close-up shots highlight their individual styles and personalities. The resulting images are not only beautiful, but also tell a story about these young fashionistas and the city they inhabit.
The photographers' mastery of light and shadow is a testament to their skills and artistry, and it adds an extra layer of depth to the photos. The interplay of light and shadow is something that can be appreciated by anyone, regardless of their interest in fashion. These photos are not just a documentation of a fashion shoot; they're also a celebration of the beauty of the city and the art of photography.
Behind the Scenes – The Making of a Fashion Shoot
While the photos from the shoot look effortless and natural, a lot of hard work went into creating those stunning shots. The making of a fashion shoot is no easy feat, and this one was no exception. The team behind the scenes worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran smoothly. From wardrobe changes to hair and makeup touch-ups, every detail was attended to.
The photographers, in particular, played a crucial role in bringing this shoot to life. They worked closely with the models to make sure they felt comfortable and confident, and they experimented with different angles and lighting to get the perfect shot. The makeup artist and hairstylist were equally important, ensuring that the models looked their best in every photo.
But it wasn't just the technical aspects of the shoot that made it successful. The team had a great energy and worked together seamlessly to create a fun and exciting atmosphere. Everyone was invested in making sure the shoot was a success, and their passion and dedication are evident in the final product.
The behind-the-scenes look at the making of this fashion shoot is a reminder of the hard work and dedication that goes into creating something beautiful. It takes a village to make a shoot like this happen, and every person involved played a crucial role in bringing the vision to life. The result is a series of stunning photos that showcase the beauty of the city and the individual styles of these two preteens.
A Step towards Preteen Fashion Revolution
The world of fashion can often be intimidating, especially for preteens who are just starting to explore their personal style. But this photo shoot on Broad Street in Philadelphia is a step towards changing that. These two young models showed that fashion can be fun, exciting, and accessible for everyone.
By embracing their individual styles and showcasing them in a public setting, they set an example for other preteens who may be struggling to find their own unique style. Fashion should be about expressing yourself and feeling confident in your own skin, and these two young fashionistas demonstrated just that.
It's exciting to see a preteen fashion revolution taking place, where individuality is celebrated and personal style is embraced. It's a reminder that fashion doesn't have to be exclusive or intimidating; it can be a way to have fun and express yourself.
By breaking the mold and embracing their own unique styles, these two preteens are setting a new standard for fashion-forward young people. They're showing that fashion isn't just for adults or industry insiders; it's for anyone who wants to explore their creativity and make a statement with their style.
This photo shoot is just the beginning of a fashion revolution that celebrates diversity and individuality. It's a reminder that fashion can be a form of self-expression and a way to celebrate your unique personality. We can't wait to see what other preteens will bring to the table in the future and how they will continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of fashion.

The innocence and joy of a child receiving this sacrament is truly a beautiful sight to behold. Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph a young boy's first holy communion in the heart of Center City Philadelphia. Dressed in a crisp white suit, he radiated pure excitement and reverence for this special occasion. Our photoshoot took us through the bustling streets of downtown and even up to a parking garage with stunning city views. Join me as I share the story of this first holy communion photography session, capturing the essence of a young boy's special day.
Love this cutie and the Philly background. I love the matching white rosary!
Some Philly First Holy Communion Fun Facts
A survey conducted by The Harris Poll found that on average, Americans spend approximately $350 on communion outfits for their children.
So why wouldn't you want to have portraits taken of this beautiful clothing and rite of passage?
In 2019, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia reported that there were approximately 15,000 First Holy Communion celebrations held within its jurisdiction.
Center City Philadelphia is home to some of the oldest Catholic churches in the United States, including Old St. Joseph's Church which was founded in 1733.
The Glowing Boy in the White Suit
In the midst of the bustling heartbeat of Center City, Philadelphia, stood our communion star - a lively young man, garbed in a flawless white suit that seemed to radiate an almost ethereal glow. Amidst the urban hustle and bustle, he st The white suit worn by boys during their First Holy Communion is symbolic of purity and innocence, instantly drawing the eye. The suit was more than just an outfit; it was a symbol of his spiritual awakening and the deep understanding he'd acquired of his First Holy Communion's sanctity.
Looking ever so dapper in Philly for his First Holy Communion Session!
His childlike charm was further amplified by the immaculate suit, a timeless icon of tradition. It was his twinkling eyes, however, full of youthful zest and innocence that truly brought our photos to life. Each captured image served as a testament to his journey of faith, highlighting the deep significance of this religious milestone in his life. The white suit, mirroring his innocence and purity, became a testament to the profound journey this young boy was embarking upon. Each captured moment in that classic suit was a celebration of his spiritual evolution, magnificently captured within the city's lively streets.
Picturesque Locations in Center City Philadelphia
Broad Street fun! We tried a different angle this time from the typical place I love to shoot. I love the bokeh in the background!
The heartbeat of our photo shoot was the dynamic and lively backdrop of Center City, Philadelphia. This urban playground, brimming with architectural wonders, bustling streets, and a tapestry of history, painted a unique picture for our images. Each click of the camera encapsulated the city’s charisma, its timeless elegance seeping into our pictures, casting a glow of maturity onto our young subject. The historic streets of Philadelphia echoed stories of time, providing a rich canvas for our communion star's very own narrative. Our communion boy's radiant presence against the city’s dynamic cityscape underscored his transition from a boy to a young man, marking his spiritual ascension. The city, with its myriad of textures and colors, enhanced the significance of this sacred rite of passage, intertwining his journey with the city's own tales. This urban ballet of Center City, Philadelphia, proved to be the perfect stage for showcasing the gravity of this spiritual milestone, while still capturing the playful spirit of a young boy.
The Unexpected Beauty of a Parking Garage
Using reflective surfaces can always be such beautiful images. For Communion Sessions, I like to keep things timeless and classic.
Venturing into the unanticipated, we found ourselves in a location less conventional for a communion photo shoot - a parking garage. At first glance, it might seem an odd choice, but wait till you see the magic unfold. The garage, with its raw, industrial ambiance, created an enchanting contrast to our little protagonist in his flawless white suit.
This unique setting offered a blend of contemporary and rugged aesthetics that worked wonders on camera. The simplistic, almost monotonous concrete structure served as a stark canvas, causing the pristine white suit to pop, almost creating an aura around our young star. It infused an edgy, modern vibe into our traditional communion shoot.
As the structured lines of the garage played with the free-flowing innocence of our boy, the images captured were nothing short of breathtaking. The city’s pulse echoed through the garage's stark framework, underscoring the intersection of his sacred journey with the urban realities of life.
As the sunlight filtered in through the garage, painting shadows and adding depth, our communion boy seemed to emerge from a storybook, ready to embrace his destiny. And so, in a place where one would least expect it, beauty and meaning unfolded in the most extraordinary way. This garage, once an overlooked everyday structure, had now become a vital part of a young boy’s significant rite of passage.
He loves his cars! I love the play on white on white with this classic image!
Fun and Laughter on Broad Street
We had so much fun exploring the streets and side streets this day!
Broad Street, known for its ebullient spirit and ceaseless vitality, served as the perfect backdrop for capturing our communion star’s sheer joy and exuberance. This was his stage, where he was free to let go, to run uninhibited, to laugh without restraint, and to simply relish in the unadulterated delight of being a child. These snapshots were a reflection of the more lighthearted, playful side of our young protagonist, a charming juxtaposition to the formal, ceremonial shots.
His laughter echoed through the bustling streets, his vibrant energy perfectly matching the dynamic pulse of Broad Street. The lively street served as the canvas for a different kind of celebration – one of childhood, of innocence, and of sheer joy. He ran with the wind, his white suit billowing behind him, a burst of purity against the city's diverse colors. These are the moments of youthful spontaneity that bring our photos to life.
Iconic Shot of the Philadelphia skyline. For this epic First Holy Communion Session.
As we followed his lively prance along Broad Street, our camera shutter clicked with each unabashed laugh, each carefree run. The spirit of childhood, captured in these candid moments, served as a beautiful balance to his journey into spiritual maturity. It was a reminder that even though he's stepping into a profound spiritual phase, he is still a boy who loves to run freely and laugh heartily. These images encapsulated the duality of this occasion – the solemnity of the sacrament and the blissful innocence of childhood.
The vivacious energy of Broad Street served not just as a playground for our communion boy but also as a vibrant backdrop that amplified his youthful spirit. The bustling city streets resonated with his infectious laughter, and with each click, we immortalized these precious moments of unreserved joy. These images were more than just pictures; they were a celebration of his exuberant spirit and the beautiful balance of childhood and spiritual maturity. As our camera continued to capture his laughter and joy, Broad Street became more than just a location; it became a character in our tale, a symbol of the carefree joy of childhood.
The Value of Capturing these Precious Moments
The privilege of being a photographer lies in the ability to encapsulate fleeting instances, transforming them into eternal treasures. First Holy Communion, a beautiful blend of childhood innocence and early spiritual awakening, is one such significant occasion. Every captured laugh, each thoughtful look into the distance, and the unrestrained freedom expressed in a jovial sprint down Broad Street represents a cherished memory captured in perpetuity.
These precious moments encapsulate the fleeting nature of childhood, reminding us that while our children inevitably grow up, the memories preserved through photography allow us to clutch a bit of their childhood close to our hearts, much longer than reality permits. It is about etching these evanescent moments into the canvas of time, providing families with a visual narrative that not only celebrates the present but also immortalizes the past.
Each photo serves as a tangible memento of a unique journey, allowing us to revisit these milestones whenever nostalgia calls. Every candid shot is more than just a photograph; it is a visual story that narrates the tales of innocence, spirituality, and the joyous rite of passage of a young boy. Through these images, we celebrate the beautiful juxtaposition of joyous youth and solemn maturity, a testament to a child's remarkable journey towards spiritual adulthood.
In essence, the power of photography lies in its ability to transform a fleeting moment into an eternal treasure. As photographers, we are honored to witness and capture these unforgettable moments, providing families with a visual narrative to cherish and relive for generations to come. A young boy's First Holy Communion is an extraordinary celebration of innocence and spiritual awakening. Each captured giggle, thoughtful gaze, and spirited run on Broad Street is a reminder of this significant rite of passage, beautifully frozen in time.
