Maternity, Newborn, Milestone and Family Portraits

When someone hasn’t experienced custom photography they aren’t sure what to expect.  I try very hard to make it an experience that’s all about you and your family and what you want.  Custom photography differs significantly from the experience provided by a mall portrait “studio” or by the photographer down the block who snaps a few photographs of your family and sends you on your way with a disc of images for $150. Investment in custom photography is an investment in art, individualized experience, and client service.

I consider it one of my highest priorities to capture the unique style, personalities, and characteristics of each of the babies, children and families I photograph, and to preserve them as photographic art. To accomplish that objective, one of the first things I do when you schedule a session with me is ask you a number of questions that assist me in customizing your photography experience. For example, I will ask you questions about your family’s style, favorite places at which your family enjoys spending time, and your vision for your portraits, all of which allow us to identify the perfect location for your family portrait session. In addition, I may ask you questions about your children’s favorite activities, toys, or games, so that I can make them as comfortable and happy as possible during your portrait session. We will also discuss wardrobe styling (or your preferences for props and color schemes, if you are scheduling a newborn session), and I provide you with tips and recommendations for looking your best. (I also love receiving client texts and emails containing photos of potential wardrobe and accessory options!)
