Simply Me 2026. Simple portraits, big personality... and a local art show!
It's back!!!
Simply Me... portraits for little faces with big personality! Elegant, sassy, sweet, funny, precious, curious, hysterical, loud and intense, or shy and demure... The little ones in our lives don't tend to hide their personality, it's on full display on their faces! Simply Me is a portrait session designed to focus simply on that-- expressions and personality in simple and elegant black and white.
Simply Me will have a January 2026 Gallery showing and I am looking for 20 children ages 3 to 12 showing off their big personalities or even shyly hiding behind their favorite stuffed animal friend! Maybe we will see some returning faces from last year? You never know!
The photography sessions will take place in November, and possibly into early December. The Gallery exhibit will be at Something Special Bakery in Kingston Pennsylvania on January 10 2026, and running for a few weeks after that. Your child's portrait will be on display as a gorgeous larger than life 20x20 canvas. Children today are accustomed to seeing themselves on a phone screen, or maybe the 8x10 and wallets from their school pictures. This is a whole new experience for them! They get the chance to see themselves on display, in a gallery with other children some of whom they may even know!
Some of the kids were literally bouncing up and down at the exhibit last year, overwhelmed and excited to see themselves and show themselves off to their family. They were a big deal... and they felt like it.

Simply Me Gallery Exhibit from Last Year!
The Opening Reception for the Simply Me gallery exhibit was a great time with a fantastic turnout! Thank you to everyone who braved the cold January temps for a warm evening at Something Special.
The exhibit will remain on display until February 7, 2025 at Something Special Bakery, 23 W. Walnut Street, Kingston PA 18704. They are open Monday through Friday, 730AM till 3PM. Stop in, grab lunch or breakfast, or get some baked goods or a sandwich to go. Something Special is a real gem of our valley who love to support our local artists with a new exhibit each month.
Sixteen children were photographed in black and white and allowed to just be themselves in front of the camera. Shy, bold, funny, or reserved, their big personalities were presented larger-than-life on 20"x20" canvases in the show. The reactions of some of the children, bouncing up and down, smiling from ear to ear was such a reward for all of our work together.
Thank you again.
