building confidence by celebrating their unique personalities
As a mother of two, I understand how quickly kids grow and change, which is why I’m excited to offer timeless black and white personality portraits—a beautiful way to preserve these fleeting moments forever. These portraits focus on capturing your child’s unique features, personality, and developmental stage, creating a lasting memory of who they are right now. Beyond preserving memories, these portraits celebrate your child’s individuality, fostering confidence as they see their unique personality and spirit shine through. The simplicity of black and white highlights every detail, from their mischievous smile to the twinkle in their eyes. Year after year, these portraits become a visual story of their growth, offering parents and children a cherished way to reflect on their journey together.
FAQ
How do I book a session?
I open bookings online one month in advance, with new session dates and times released mid-month, with only 4-6 days each month dedicated to personality portraits. I send the booking link to my email list first—so be sure to subscribe for early access and priority booking! To see if any session times remain, click the "Book a Personality Portrait Session" link directly above the FAQ section.

If you have multiple kids you will require multiple sessions.
-One child- book one session

-Three kids- book TWO sessions
-Four children- book three sessions
*For more than four children, please contact me to confirm which session you should book.
Are Personality Portraits posed?
Short answer, no. My personality sessions are designed like mini sessions where kids come in back-to-back time slots. These sessions aim to offer a comfortable space for your kids to be themselves where they can show off and celebrate their unique personality. They can be serious. They can be silly. They can be fun. They can be introverted. As long as your child is willing to participate and have fun, we can get some fantastic images!
What should my child wear?
I recommend white or light colored, plain shirts - no busy or distracting prints. Please don't forget to wipe your young kid's face before the session for a clean and crisp photo.
Do you offer color photos?
No, black and white images are only being offered at this time.
What ages do you photograph?
7 months through 18 years old! Your child must be a strong sitter before their appointment time.
Why do you require a non-refundable session fee?
A non-refundable session fee is required to reserve your session and secure your chosen date and time on my calendar. Once your session is scheduled, that spot is exclusively yours, meaning no one else can book it. This fee helps cover the potential loss of income if a client cancels or no-shows at the last minute and allows me to plan and prepare for your session, including covering costs for locations that require rental fees, permits, or studio bookings. It’s all part of ensuring your experience is seamless and unforgettable!
What if we are sick or have a family emergency the day of our session?
As a nurse and mom of two, I understand that things outside your control happen. In the event of an illness or emergency, a one-time rescheduling will be allowed to another available session time. Please note this may not be available until the following month.
