FUN fine art Portraits
Parent GUide
HI THERE!
I LOVE photographing kids! They are all hilarious & unique. capturing portraits on a simple background is my favorite way to showcase their perfect personalities.
This page is designed to give you some helpful information to make your photo experience easy and convenient!
PORTRAITS WITH PERSONALITY
WHAT MAKES THIS PHOTOGRAPHY DIFFERENT?
My goal during my short time with your child is not to force a cheesy smile. I'm looking for natural expressions, which will range from serious and pensive to sweet and silly. The simple white background keeps the focus solely on the child's face and expression.
I will chat and interact with your child during our time together to elicit genuine expressions. For an extra fun time, have your child come prepared with a joke for ME! :)
WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR?
These images are shot chest-up against a solid white backdrop. Please avoid tops with large graphics, logos, or print. And please no neon colors!
Small details at the sleeves, neck, and collar photograph well for these sessions. You can also think about a top that makes your child's eye color pop! Consider allowing your child to select a favorite outfit within these parameters to capture even more of their personality!

10 minute photo session

SIBLING LOVE

Your child's privacy is important to me!
I occasionally like to post a sneak peek on social media from my photo day at a particular school or add new kids' photos to my website and marketing materials. If you would be willing to give me permission to include your child's photo (never any names) for these purposes, please complete the following release form. Thank you so much!
