Kids Portraits

Kids portraits have become a time honored tradition. Wouldn’t it be nice if those yearly photos were worthy of hanging on your walls?

Kids Portraits are time capsules that capture more than a single cheesy grin. They are an opportunity to put your child in the limelight and freeze those quickly changing stages of each age. From the chubby cheeks and thick eyelashes of a toddler to the often awkward, yet extremely endearing attributes of a pre-teen, parents barely have time to recognize a particular stage before their child moves on to the next. This is why I am passionate about capturing children from multiple angles and working to get a variety of expressions. One picture can’t possibly embody everything you want to remember about the stage they are in, so sessions include a minimum of 10 images in both color and black & white.

Ugly blue backgrounds and cutesy props that will soon go out of fashion are a thing of the past. Instead, sessions are captured on a solid black or white background so the sole focus is your child. These timeless, artistic portraits can be proudly enlarged and displayed in your home, because the art is your child. All images in your gallery are not only provided in color, but also black & white. Color images give a sense of warmth and remind you what it was like to kiss those precious cheeks, but there is something about the removal of color that allows a person’s physical features to come through (so when comparing your child’s portraits to those of Great Grandpa Robert or Aunt Jenny, the resemblance is undeniable)

Better Than School Portrait sessions are short and sweet, so kids have a fun experience, and parents can get on with the rest of their day. Each session is designed to help your child relax and be themselves, so they don’t mind (and even look forward to) coming back year after year. Want a quick tip for ensuring your child relaxes during their session? Have them prepare a joke for me. This flips the roles, and puts them in charge. Children who come with a joke in hand often can’t wait to get started, and, inevitably, can’t resist a grin as they execute their punchline!
