7 Ages of Childhood...

This program includes 8 portrait sessions, scheduled at your discretion, with 1- 8x10 image from each session mounted into a Renaissance album with your child's name and date of birth engraved on the cover.  You may wish to choose to have your photography done at the year and half-year points, or more frequently when he (or she!) is younger.

Bright Beginnings...

Our "Bright Beginnings" program captures the essence of your baby's first exciting year by photographing at 3,6,9 and 12 months.  From each session, you'll select your favorite image to be included in a 4-opening matted and framed portrait panel that you'll receive after your 12-month session.

Dads and siblings are welcome, too, at a single session of your choice during the program.

Little Dreamers...

The "Little Dreamers" program features our black and white photography and is designed for infants from birth to 6 weeks.  Your little one will be photographed on our stack of soft, warm towels, in our antique baby scale, and as a "special delivery" inside our white mailbox with a hand-tinted pink or blue bow.  We also take care to photograph those dimpled fingers and tiny toes!

Your "Little Dreamers" session includes your choice of one of the following: a European 9-opening portrait panel with your selection of 9 images from your session, a small "portfolio box" containing up to 10 matted images of your choosing, or a small, custom-designed art album containing up to 12 of your favorite photographs.

Infant Portrait Guidelines...

In creating beautiful portraits for you and your infant, we want every aspect of your session to be perfect.  We'll take care of the technical details, but when it comes to clothing and other personal items, we need your help.  Please take a few moments to review the following guidelines that will greatly aid in our efforts:

  • Remember that simple styles of clothing are always more flattering.  Pastels and whites (along with tiny bare feet) photograph beautifully.  We ask that you refrain from putting your infant in overalls until he/she is able to sit unassisted.
  • If your infant is extremely fussy or has the beginnings of a cold, please reschedule your appointment.  (You wouldn't want to be in front of the camera if you didn't feel well, and your infant doesn't either!)
  • Because babies and infants are so curious about their surroundings, we ask that only the mother remain in the camera room with the baby.  The presence of siblings and/or grandparents lends too much distraction for the child being photographed.  We have a comfortable waiting area for grandparents if they would like to come with you.  We recommend making childcare arrangements for siblings.
  • Don't forget extra diapers, pacifiers, juice and/or formula and other necessities that help comfort your baby.  Please schedule your child's session around nap and feeding times.
  • We offer the opportunity for "mommy/baby" images at the 1st of 2nd session only.
  • We do "bare bottom" images at 6 months only.  Please limit the number of outfits at this session to 2.

I look forward to working with you and your child--now and in the future--to create a lifetime of beautiful images!
