BABIES & CHILDREN

My style is a relaxed, fun, sometimes goofy approach that put my subject at ease. I’ve found that if i am myself, kids will feel free to be themselves. I want to capture children as they are everyday, those sassy little attitudes…those same smiles, laughs and frowns that make up their individual personality. I often encourage your child to play, draw, read and do whatever they would normally do if i wasn’t around. Alternatively, i may also take a more structured approach to the session if inspiration leads us there.
Of course, even with the best preparation, sometimes your children aren’t going to cooperate. That’s ok! Please don’t get frustrated; your children will pick up on it.
Typically, around 10 a.m. is the best time, when your children are their happiest! Overcast skies are ideal for outdoors sessions, but mother nature is not so predictable. Just before sunset is the next best option.
Kids being kids, they often get bored or tired easily, so if we need to take a short break for a change, snack or a quick cuddle, this is also welcomed. It’s sometimes these moments that create the best images!
I photograph exclusively on location (your home/beach/park or anywhere else that you would like) using natural/available light. This means there is no artificial studio that may intimidate your child.
I always prefer the simplicity and beauty of natural light portraits or i will need ample window light for indoor sessions. . Sessions normally last for 1-2 hours but are not limited to time.
I have the same approach with families! I always ask for you to ignore me and concentrate on each other. I want you to cuddle, tickle, laugh, run, play and I will follow along and capture those beautiful in-between moments that are the most special to you as a family.
Your portrait will be captured using a professional digital camera. You can choose to have your images printed in color, black and white, or sepia.I love the look of black & white, but sometimes its all about the color:)

WHAT TO WEAR

Clothing choices are very important. Please avoid logos, and cartoon characters as they can be a distraction in your photos. Kids look great in vibrant colors and textures.
Jeans and bare feet work well for everyone and sundresses are a lovely touch for girls. If you are having trouble selecting clothing, you can have several outfits laid out and i will be more than happy to help you.
Bring along items that your child loves – a tutu, a sword, hat, lollipop, umbrella, etc…
For group portraits, it’s best for everyone to be in similar tones (i.e., all in pastels, all in medium tones, or all in dark colors), but you don’t need to be matchy matchy.
