what makes these portraits different?

SIMPLY PUT...

My goal during my short time with your child is not to force a cheesy smile. I'm looking for natural expressions, which will range from serious and pensive to sweet and silly. The simple white background keeps the focus solely on the child's face and expression.

I will chat and interact with your child during our time together to elicit genuine expressions. For an extra fun time, have your child come prepared with a joke for ME! :)

WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR?

These images are shot chest-up against a solid white backdrop. Please avoid tops with large graphics, logos, or print. And please no neon colors! 

Small details at the sleeves, neck, and collar photograph well for these sessions. You can also think about a top that makes your child's eye color pop! Consider allowing your child to select a favorite outfit within these parameters to capture even more of their personality!

WHAT IS THE COST?

sibling love

I HAVE MORE THAN ONE CHILD. CAN THEY BE PHOTOGRAPHED TOGETHER?

Yes! This is the perfect opportunity to get your kids in the frame together.

Just sign up each child for their own time slot and we can attempt sibling photos during their time.

Important!
PLEASE READ THIS:

Every child is different. 
Some kiddos are very expressive and love their time in front of the camera.
Others are shy and take longer to warm up - or simply don't warm up at all. That is ok! 
These portraits are capturing what your little one is like today.

Embrace them for who they are and how they are at this stage in their life.
Your child is amazing, and one of a kind!

WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE OUR PHOTOS?

Your child's photos will arrive to your email via a private online gallery within 3 weeks of photo day. You choose 5 images download, and have the option to upgrade and purchase the entire gallery if you desire. 

HOW DOES ORDERING WORK?
