Children’s Portraits…Let’s Play
Children’s portraits can be both challenging to capture and rewarding if done in a creative way. My children’s sessions are very fun for the kids and journalistic in nature. I let them play and relax… and never use the “S” word (smile) and I try to get clients to learn not to say that word either. I will get the children smiling but it will be “real” – not because they were told to.
The natural, real-life images are also what I am after. I encourage parents to just say we are going to “play” at Paul’s or the park or beach… not going “to have your picture taken.” I do not want to be remembered as the school photographer. I am much different and want to be thought of differently by the children.

Contact the studio. Its always best to chat about what you are after…we can schedule an in-home consultation or here in the studio to sit down and brainstorm together so the actual session goes smoothly and I can create something more tailored to your ideas.
We can do either or both… Depends a few factors – age of the kids, creative direction, fun factor, fitting your home decor. This is another reason to have a consultation before the session.
While most clients end up doing a Portrait Collection or album, there is no minimum…Collections start at $388 (which includes a wall portrait and smaller prints too) and a la carte prints start at $18… so affordable for any budget. Keep in mind all my photographs come from my professional lab that still produces wet-process silver halide true photographs…not inkjets as everyone else has gone to unfortunately.

The presentation appointment is usually scheduled about 2 weeks following your session. Both parents and any other family members (grandparents) who will wish to view and purchase images will need to be present at this appointment. You will first see a slideshow of the images set to music and projected on a big screen. After the show, we can then go right into designing your order.
