A lot of parents worry that their kids will be uncooperative during their session, but I think it's impossible. In fact, the more wild and crazy the kids are, the more there is for me to work with! A kid who shows their personality, even if that means they are running away for most of the session, actually makes it super easy! The hardest sessions are the kids who won't let go of mom's legs... but I can even work with that (as long as mom is okay being in the photo too)! If you make it all about having a fun time with me, and don't put any pressure or expectations on them, it will be a great experience. We'll run around, throw leaves at each other, tell silly jokes, and make fun photos!
I also do preschool portraits! If you have a child in preschool & the school needs a photographer, let's chat!
Kids change fast, sometimes right in front of your eyes. These portraits are about capturing their personality as it exists right now—the expressions, the movement, the in-between moments that disappear almost overnight.
My kids sessions are relaxed, flexible, and led by the child. Each session includes a personalized experience and the complete gallery of high-resolution digital images. There’s no pressure to narrow things down or purchase more later. Every smile, serious face, and burst of energy is included.
The goal is never perfection. Kids can move, explore, and be themselves while I follow their lead and document what naturally unfolds. Whether they’re quiet, wild, shy, or bold, the result is honest, joyful images that feel like them—not a version they were told to perform.
