the style
Depending on the age of your child (or children), I work extra hard to make sure they are captured in a way that best shows off their personality. These sessions are meant to be fun and light-hearted. My goal is to have little kiddos feel relaxed during their session and want to come back again and again! studio / off-site The studio is the preferred setting for children under 6 months of age. I like to use buckets, props, and fun backdrops, as these little ones typically aren't on 'the move'. One year sessions are also often taken in the studio, however it's nice to sneak outside and get a few shots (weather permitting). Once children reach the two year mark, my focus is mainly outdoors. This way, they can move around and not endure the struggle of sitting in a single spot with lights flashing, as this does not typically capture them in the natural playful state. what to wear | what to bring For children under 6 months, I prefer to photograph with bare bellies. However, beginning around 3 months, outfits are welcome. Two outfits are typical. Outfit options and ideas may also be discussed prior to your session for better planning. As far as something extra to bring, I love hats, headbands, ties, and such. Any little accessory can go a long way! I'm also a fan of slight bribery during a session. Snacks and treats are nice to have secretly hidden away as a back-up plan to get the focus directed back to camera. artistically edited Photos are edited differently based on the age of the child. Airbrushing is included on most images for children 6 months and younger. If children have scratches, bruises, and such, additional editing may be required. This is something that can be discussed based on the situation. Advanced editing, such as color enhancement, is included with each session. scheduling It is always best to get on the calendar sooner than later. I request that sessions are booked at least one week prior to your desired date, so that the best lighting options are available. I also request that you let me know if there is a preferred time based on nap times for children that still require one. |
