The location of your session is entirely up to you, although I can offer suggestions. I really pride myself in my portraits that are captured by natural light photography and therefore need a brightly sunlit room and or outdoor settings where open shade is ideal. Sessions will range on average from 30 to 45 minutes in most cases but please understand that it often takes time for a child to feel comfortable and relaxed. All photographs are shot in digital color but may be presented in black and white, Mocha & sepia toning as well. If a more artistic flare is what you desire I can accommodate with Eye Popping Deeply Saturated Colors or if it is a soft vintage tone you desire through my creative talents that too I can provide for you and your cherished memories.

What 2 WeaR

The key to a timeless portrait is K.I.S.S. “Keep it Simple Silly”. Dress in something comfortable and casual and choosing to stick with the basics Vs. trends will create timeless portraits. Solid colors in muted tones look best, especially in black and white images. Textures such as denim knit, and khaki also work well. Avoid choosing busy patterns and print, as they will distract from your portrait. Solid clothes help to keep the focus on the face and not the clothing. My favorites: denim, khaki, overalls, sundresses, bare feet, and naked babies! Bare feet give a natural and casual feel and often look best. You are welcome to bring a change of clothing and if time allows you can feel free to change. A few other suggestions are rich deep velvet reds and if it is bright colors you desire go with a pattern of bright multi colors for best results.
