Children

Woven with memories, photographs have the unique ability to shape and even transform the perceptions we have about ourselves and our loved ones.  Whether it is a child's fascination with an everyday object or the sheer wonder of playing with friends, countless moments wait to be captured.

While we are happy to photograph your child in-studio, we prefer on-location sessions for kids. The idea behind on-location portraiture is simple: a child's true personality and individuality shines at its brightest when they are allowed to be themselves in a familiar environment.  Unobtrusive observation allows the documentation of spontaneous smiles and laughter, as well as the unique and truly magical expressions a child makes as they explore the world around them.

Typically lasting for about 1-2 hours, sessions can take place at any number of locations: a favorite park, the beach or even your own backyard.  Parents are encouraged to sit back, relax and let their kids be kids!

With regard to clothing: be comfortable! Bold patterns with lots of colors and matching sweaters and hats make incredible pictures. Pastels offer a beautiful innocence to the photograph. Consider matching an outfit to the color of your child's eyes. Your child will determine the length of this session, but know that as a child gets older, session times become shorter, as their tolerance level increases. For now, try to schedule your appointment during the typical 'happy time' for your child (mid-mornings usually work best).
