“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
— Aaron Siskind
Capturing the unique beauty and charm of your child in a timeless way for generations to come. Each session includes a 20 minute sitting and a proofing gallery of 10-15 beautiful portraits of your child.
At the end of this experience, you will have beautiful printed photographs of your child gracing the walls of your home. Every time you look at these heirlooms, you will remember all of their sweetness in this phase of life. As they grow older, it will be one of the only furnishings in your home that will appreciate in value over time.

Please indicate in your client questionnaire if you have additional siblings. For more than 3 siblings, please book 2 adjacent time slots.

Children of every age can take a timeless portrait to document this time. Infants that have a strong neck and can sit up straight (with or without a parent's assistance). Most commonly 6 months through 18 years.
