Authentic. joyful. totally them.

Child portrait sessions are designed to be joyful, relaxed, and full of authentic expression. Whether we’re celebrating a milestone, creating yearly portraits, or simply capturing who your child is right now, my focus is always on connection and personality over perfection.

Sessions take place in my studio, using simple backdrops and minimal props to keep the attention where it belongs — on your child. I’ll work with their energy, whether that means high-energy laughter or quiet, thoughtful moments, creating space for their personality to shine.

I believe every child deserves portraits that feel like them — portraits that will be cherished now and passed down for generations.






From Day One, You’re Supported. 
From the moment you book until your finished artwork is in your hands, my goal is to make you feel completely confident and excited about the process. Once your session is reserved, you’ll receive a helpful Session Guide filled with wardrobe tips, session-day details, and answers to common questions.

Two weeks before your session, we’ll meet on Zoom to go over everything, meet “face to face,” and make sure you feel totally prepared. If anything new comes up along the way, I’m always just an email away.

Session Day: Joy, Music & Real Moments
On session day, it’s all about letting your child’s personality shine. I’ll bring the music, energy, and gentle direction to help them feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. No stiff poses — just authentic expressions, movement, and moments that reflect exactly who they are right now.

After the Session: Art That Lasts a Lifetime.
About two weeks after your session, we’ll meet for your personal reveal appointment (in-person or via Zoom) so you can see your portraits for the very first time. This part of the process is not about high-pressure sales — it’s about giving you the time, space, and guidance to choose the images you love most. I’ll help you explore display options, answer questions, and design pieces that feel just right for your home.

Investment
Your session begins with a $350 non-refundable session fee, which includes:
