The details...
Can babies participate?
As long as your baby can sit up unassisted, I would love to capture his or her personality!
Have more than one child?
Each additional child in your immediate family costs $125 and your session can include a photo of all your children together. Be sure to book back-to-back sessions for each of your children that are being photographed.
Want color portraits too?
For an additional $50 per family, I will include both black and white and color portraits in your gallery.
What to wear?
These portraits are meant to capture your children just as they are and just as you'd like to remember them at this very age. You can embrace their whims and let them wear their favorite tutu, jersey, cape, sunglasses, etc or you can keep it simple. Sometimes a little pattern, texture or layering can create interest in a black and white photo-think a baseball tee, striped polo, or chunky knit sweater for boys or a denim jacket, tutu dress, or blouse with ruffles or eyelet for girls. The most important part is that your child is comfortable to be his or her self!
What if my child doesn't want to cooperate?
I will have music, a few neutral toy options (only if we need them), and some cheesy jokes to try to keep the mood light, but these photos aren't meant to be perfect. I aim to capture some silly faces and signature expressions along with natural smiles and giggles. If your child has an object that brings them joy that you don't mind seeing in some photos, you are welcome to bring it.
Where are the portrait sessions held?
These portrait sessions are held at my home in Willow Glen outside under a large covered patio.
