What makes my process different?
Well, most formal portrait studios pose your child (which I try not to do too much because I think natural, candid shots are way more fun) with a standard grey/blue background or a fake country lane behind him and then fire away (with a high-powered flash) at your child for 20 minutes. It’s stressful and can be expensive once you’ve ordered all the pictures you want. AND, the pictures don’t convey much about your child’s personality.
Conversely, I aim to let your child stay comfortable in his own environment and I spend time understanding what makes him who he is so I can capture that personality. I get rewarded with natural smiles, intense gazes, and real emotion that really conveys who your child is and gives a peek into his/her life, more than you would get by trying to force him to smile at the camera. Even better, you get to have all the images I take so you can order whatever prints you like in any size or create your own photo collages or canvases.
