Baby portraits
I'm a natural light, on location photographer. Using the beauty of available light and the gorgeous backgrounds that nature or the setting of your home provide... I feel this is the best way to tell the story of your child. Natural expressions and interaction happen best while your child explores a new location or is in the comfort of their own environment.
Your session includes a pre-session consultation over the phone, an on-location photo shot, and post-production editing and minor retouching.
During the consultation, I will talk to you over the phone, to discuss the session, any ideas you have and the purpose you have in mind for the photos.
In order to capture the most natural expressions, my photo shoots typically last 2-3 hours. Sometimes kids get cranky - a well fed, well rested child will typically relax in to our shoot and have fun with it.
Within 2 weeks, a selection of the best photos will be available for viewing in a password protected online gallery from which prints may be ordered at an additional charge.
Once you place your order, your prints will arrive within 2 weeks. Please allow a few extra days for specialty items.
To schedule your photo session, please call or send me a message via the CONTACT section with your requested dates or any other questions.

What to wear
It's best to wear clothes that are simple and comfortable - no logos or loud patterns. We will work with lots of different poses and settings, so I recommend a couple of outfit changes - and be sure to have their favorites on hand. Do keep in mind that the more simple the clothes, the more classic and lasting the image, but costumes may bring big smiles for years to come.
