“One of the girls quietly selected the Wonder Woman costume without talking to anyone or asking any questions. She did not make eye contact with the volunteers or staff as we were explaining what to expect during the photoshoot. Twenty minutes later, when she came back to the dressing area to change out of her costume, she smiled broadly when asked if she had a good time and said “This was the best day ever! I feel so strong!” Her photo session truly empowered her.”
“Parents or family members have met the volunteers weeks after the photo sessions to pick up the finished posters of their children. One father stated “she’s so beautiful” when he saw his teenage daughter dressed up with a tiara wearing a flowing gown. As he walked away holding the poster, he glanced at the photos of his daughter smiling several times as he walked out of the building.”
“A grandmother picked up the poster for her granddaughter and immediately began crying. She said “you’ve captured her beautiful smile”. The girl had been placed in a temporary housing situation and the grandmother was excited to be bringing her home and to have this poster to put in her bedroom.”
