yes please
My sessions are scheduled 1 per sunrise, 1 midday once I resume indoor photography and 1 per sunset. This allows flexibility to adjust to your child's nap and feeding schedule that day and to compensate for dark or sunny days. I give you the space you need not rushing to the next family and churning out basic images. I love photography because I value the art and creativity at the heart of it. If you can appreciate my artistry, then we'll be a perfect fit.
You don't need to convince your partner it'll be less stressful. Just send them this website and show them why it will be different this year. My focus is on play.
I can barely sit still now and focus on something for 30 minutes. How can we expect children to smile for an hour? Our expectations have become unrealistic and this is why I've decided to change my entire philosophy and approach to family photography. Sessions should be FUN. Your child should be allowed to run around. If they want to play with a stick because they love sticks, that's OK. It's MY job to turn that energy and that scenario into a photo you'll treasure years from now. And you will love it because that's who your baby is right now.
When working only with adults, we have the flexibility to visit multiple locations, change into a few outfits and rock the posing with cinematic lighting. This would work for maternity sessions, branding, senior portraits and more. Let's play and create.
I don't do "cheese" smile at the camera photos. However, if you're looking for a concept shoot and one creative image, reach out and we can plan your dream session outdoors or in my studio.
I want families who choose me to value what I do because I value that connection. It allows me to create the images you see in my portfolio. I cannot create these images if everyone isn't present. That means no cell phone usage.
What defines perfection? Working with kids, things will never be perfect. I want your baby to be happy (and there is no 'right way to smile'). If that means your hair might be blowing in the wind, or an outfit might be askew, I'd trade that for a beautiful belly laugh any day. Instead, I will guide you away from fussy outfits that have to be 'just so' so that you can play without worry. I will not 'fix that in photoshop' and I won't take 10 years off your age, nor 20 pounds off your frame. You are beautiful just the way you are. YOU deserve to be seen.
If you want a controlled session, reach out for information on my studio. These will be focused on details rather than the interaction & play.
Take a look at my portfolio. I am about connection and simplicity. Study your photographer's website. There are many photographers out there that specialize in this style. You'll be much better served by them. Just as I want to celebrate who you are, don't ask me to be someone I'm not.
no thanks!

I structure my packages according to time, not if it's a maternity vs a family vs a newborn session.
I photograph people.
My skill lies in seeing you, posing you and framing you in the environment.
