We are proud to announce that The Story Photography & 315Seniors.com are a part of the Teen Identity Network of photographers. This network is committed to the following:
As a Teen Identity network photographer/filmmaker, you agree to uphold and promote these ideals:
1. I will provide a photo/video session experience with teen girl clients designed to elevate their self esteem, make them feel beautiful and empowered.
2. Any photos and videos I (or my studio) create portraying teen girls will be done without over-sexualizing the subject. Photos and videos will be created tastefully, preserving the “innocence” of youth, yet at the same time striving to reveal the true personalities of our subjects.
3. Each year I (or my studio) will donate whatever time I can afford towards a Teen Identity approved organization or project designed to raise self-esteem in teen girls, empower teen girls, or address some issue of social injustice facing teen girls. This may include, but is not limited to, pro bono photo sessions for teen girls in economically depressed neighborhoods; teaching photography and/or video workshops on behalf of Teen Identity; acting as a photography/video coach for teen girls in my local neighborhood.
The Story Photography & 315Seniors.com have always been about creating photos in which an individuals personality and true beauty shine through. We hope that you can help spread the word about the fact that this is what we are committed to!

Last night I had the chance to stop by a fundraiser for two different ministries that are doing great work in Haiti. Money was being raised to go directly to these works through the sale of some really nice women’s bags and some pretty cool jewelry. All of the products were hand-made by the people the money is going to help! Take a minute to stop by their sites!
