CELEBRATE YOUR CHILD’S UNIQUE SPIRIT WITH
Simply Me
LIMITED EDITION PORTRAIT FUNDRAISER & GALLERY SHOW
This is a portrait session that your kid will actually enjoy!! We do away with asking your kid to smile and instead encourage them to pull faces, and just have fun! The result is that we capture images that spotlight your child’s personality like never before! No fake smiles, no gimmicks, just your kid being themselves captured in simple, elegant, black & white portraits.
All session fees go to support the PRINCETON MOBILE FOOD PANTRY to help local families in need.
Images may be showcased in a local pop-up gallery event. From toothless grins to playful quirks, celebrate everything that makes your little one wonderfully, uniquely them.

FUNDRAISING TO SUPPORT
PRINCETON MOBILE FOOD PANTRY
YOUR SESSION FEE GOES DIRECTLY TO HELP LOCAL FAMILIES EXPERIENCING FOOD INSECURITY
The Princeton Mobile Food Pantry is an incredible 'boots on the ground' organization that delivers groceries to local families EVERY WEEK. They are a 501(c)(3) non-profit who provide, what I believe, is possibly the most pressing need in Princeton. You can be a part of this mission by participating in Simply Me. I am so proud to be supporting this mission and my goal is to raise $2000 for the food pantry.
PMFP currently assists 250+ Princeton families (over 1,250 infants, school-aged children, their parents, and seniors), delivering fresh produce (seasonal fruits and vegetables), fresh protein (meats, milk, eggs), and other household staples, right to their doorstep.
The primary focus of PMFP is on families with children in Princeton Public Schools, all of whom range in age, race, identity, background, and mobility. A volunteer-led collective, they support our neighbors through various networks, sponsors, and collaboration with community partners.
Off Your Phone, Onto Your Wall
Photos of our kids today rarely make it off our screens - where our kids cannot see them, and are typically forgotten with a swipe. Thousands of moments rarely seen.
Printed artwork brings those memories back into everyday life.
Your home should reflect the people you love — their laughter, their energy, their story.
Instead of being buried in a phone, these images belong where you’ll actually experience them — on your walls, every day.
I specialize in creating custom artwork for your walls — portraits of your family; artwork that reminds you what matters most every time you walk in the door.
GALLERY SHOW
Be part of something special! After all sessions are completed, your family will be invited to attend our celebratory in-person gallery show. Through this shared experience, you’ll see your child’s portrait and drawing displayed in a stunning gallery setting alongside those of other young creators.
This one-of-a-kind event makes the Simply Me experience truly unforgettable. If you would prefer to not have your child featured, you can opt-out at any time.
THE ULTIMATE
CONFIDENCE BUILDER
Children see themselves reflected in countless ways — through social media, friends’ opinions, or fleeting snapshots on a parent’s phone. But something changes when they see a portrait of themselves on the wall. When an image is framed, printed, and displayed with care, it sends a powerful message: you matter. You belong in this home, in this family.
Psychologists have long observed that self-image and self-worth are closely connected to how children perceive they are valued by others. A study from Tulane University found that children who grow up surrounded by family photos have higher levels of self-esteem and stronger feelings of security. When a child walks past their own portrait each day, they subconsciously absorb a message of affirmation. That constant, quiet reminder — this is who I am, and I’m loved just like this - becomes part of their developing identity.
For some children, especially those navigating social pressures or self-doubt, seeing a beautiful, expressive image of themselves can change how they see their own reflection. It reinforces that their quirks, their spark, their realness — all of it — is something worth celebrating.
That’s what Simply Me is about. Not perfection, not poses — but confidence born from being truly seen. A portrait that lives on the wall isn’t just decoration; it’s a daily love note to your child’s sense of self.
