We offer several types of sittings based on years of experience learning what families most often want. We can also work with you to custom-design any photo session you want. In a private photo session we will take between 150 and 400 images and you will find it hard to part with many of them. Don’t worry, we are the expert in helping you select the right images to reflect family’s story on your walls.

Sittings
A Child’s Play
Engage children in their favorite pastime - playing - and you’ll get photographic memories that depict their unique spirits. (more)
No doubt you relish in the passion your child has for life - and we’ll work to capture her joy and puzzlement, and her excitement and shyness using the playful activities she likes best (and some wonderful props). Photos often include parents too; you are sometimes the best prop of all!
A Child’s Play (Outdoors)
Take playtime outside to add movement and nature to your photo session. (more)
Children and nature are the perfect match. Join us outdoors at a location of your choosing and we’ll let your child show us how he sees the world. Outdoor sessions are a great opportunity to memorialize your child’s passion, whether it’s for climbing, for soccer or for leaves and flowers.
The Nursing Bond
Capture the intricate bond of nursing in photos of you and your child together and several close-ups of the little one. (more)
Whether you are in the early days of breastfeeding, or feel you have nursed your child for what seems like forever, or somewhere in between, photographs are the perfect way to celebrate, honor and document your bond with your nursling. Photos will include nursing, cuddling, playing, and lots of close ups of baby—with an eye to capturing both the struggles and sweetness that surround nursing.
Pregnant Expectations
Document the shape of your pregnancy, and your and your family’s relationships with the baby growing inside you. (more)
Pregnancy portraits are a wonderful way to show off that beautiful belly, and document your hopes and “expectations,” your relationship with the baby growing inside you, or your husband’s or other children’s relationship with the baby.
Parent/Child Interaction
Preserve evidence of the unique one-on-one relationship that defines the duos in your family - whether mom and child, or dad and child - or even grandparent and child. (more)
Capture your extraordinary bond with your son/daughter. We will set the stage for great portraits by encouraging you to do the things you often do to connect with your child: cuddle, sing, tell stories and jokes, or explore with our props.
Sibling Convergence
Record the unique connectedness and energy between your children with playful and warm photos. (more)
One of the special joys of parenthood is seeing the relationships develop between your children. We’ll document your children’s unique relationship in a way you can’t seem to capture with home snapshots by following your children’s lead to get them to reveal how they connect with one another.
Family Ties
Document your whole family in the classic portrait you’ve been dreaming of. (more)
Having trouble getting that one great photo of your family? We will help you get the timeless, beautiful portrait that’s perfect for over your mantle or on your wall. We will use the way your family interrelates with one another to highlight and capture the spirit of your family unit.
Classic Kids
Capture your radiant and relaxed child in a classic studio head shot (kind of like school pictures, but with his fabulous personality shining through). (more)
Let us show you that it’s perfectly possible to get a traditional portrait of your child that shows his spirit and personality. We’ll draw your child out through conversation, play and lots of laughter to capture his perfect essence.
Artsy Kids
This studio sitting is similar to classic kids, but incorporates different props, clothing and lighting and processing techniques to create a high art effect. (more)
This is an ideal session if you’re looking for a portrait of your child with a “high art” effect. Our photographers will draw from your child’s natural energies to stage magazine-ready portraits. (This session is perfect for newborns.)
