Kids’ Portrait Sessions
Honest, soulful portraits that celebrate your child, just as they are, right now.
These short, easygoing sessions are designed to capture your child’s true personality — no forced smiles, no pressure. The black-and-white format removes all distractions, letting their natural expressions, personality, and charm take center stage.

$180
per child
What’s included in the $180 session fee:
a relaxed studio session – up to 30 minutes*
4 high-resolution black-and-white digital images of your choice
Private gallery of about 10 images to choose from
Option to purchase additional digital images or prints
* Every child is different — some warm up slowly, others are ready right away. The session is relaxed and flexible, and once I’ve captured what’s needed, we may finish early (sometimes in as little as 10 minutes) to keep things enjoyable for your child.
One session per child: If you’re bringing more than one child, please book a separate session for each so we can give them individual attention and space to shine.
Who are these sessions for: Children ages 12 months and up. Little ones should be able to sit independently or with support.
To reserve your session: A non-refundable $45 retainer is due at booking.
Private online gallery
Each child gets a private online gallery with about 20 images in it. Four images are already included in the original package price yet you can purchase additional digitals or prints directly from the very same gallery.
How to Prepare?
- Keep it simple: We recommend dressing your child in simple, plain clothes for a timeless look. No logos or patterns — plain top works best.
- Fresh faces: Keep faces fresh and clean.
- Set the vibe: Prepare your kiddo for the session. Let them know this is all about having fun.
- Arrive on time: Sessions are short and scheduled back-to-back. A few minutes early is perfect.
Don’t worry about getting “perfect” expressions—I’ll guide them to bring out their natural charm.
