Kids Portraits Why?

Why should you book a kids portrait session? Well lots of reasons, the first being your kid is the cutest and wont be cute for long 😂  Ill be listing a few more as we go on. Incase me telling you your kid is the cutest is enough to book a session then click here to go to my contact page. If it wasn't carry on reading.



Capturing light, feelings & moments and all the things in between people and life.


Getting professional portraits is locking a moment of time in place. Kids grow incredibly fast and you will want to look back and remember how adorable they were. Getting a professional portrait of your child will lock that time forever.


Most of us take thousands of photos and videos on our cell phones but never print anything. It makes you wonder what in the world everyone has hanging on their walls. Just so you know I do practice what I preach and I do have very large framed and matted prints of my kids in my house. 


When you book a professional kids portrait session you will be getting prints of that time and will be able to look back on it for years to come. Booking a kids portrait session does not have to be just a headshot of your child. It can be used to show off a skill they have. Like does your kid play the piano? If they do it would be a great portrait session to show them with their piano and reading music. I can tell you that even if they are very good they might not be playing the piano when they are old and off to college. It will be here before you know it, trust me. Lock that moment in time with a portrait session before it is too late.



Some other great ideas for a kids photoshoot are Outdoor adventure - Capture your kid playing in a park, exploring nature or hiking down trails, storybook time - Bring their favorite storybook and/or characters they can even dress up, superhero - Let them dress up as their favorite superhero and get action shots and stroke dynamic poses, tea party dress - we can set up a cute tea party sean and they can get dressed up fancy and have their favorite stuffy with them too, arts and crafts - pictures of them coloring and painting with a cute smock and easel, and sports - showing them in action and taking your not so average sports portrait, Vintage style - dress your kid up in some timeless clothing paired with some old suitcases and a great backdrop. Really what you can do with a kid portrait session, literally the sky is the limit and we have photoshop for that!


Another great reason to get portraits of you kids when they are little is to decorate your playroom. Having pictures of your kids playing to hang in your playroom will make it unique and yours. When they are grown and you make it an adult space, leave the pictures up to lock that  moment in time. Even better than having your kids portraits on the wall is to get an album to look at whenever you want to bring you back in time.
