Little Kids

Somewhere between your baby's first steps and the first day of school, elements of kids' personalities take real root and begin to shine! Opinions about hairdos, socks and peas. An obsession with knights, turtles or narwhals. Jokes that make no sense and are still, somehow, hilarious.

That little person is brand new and so completely themselves, and this is the age to document it unfolding early, amidst the era of superhero capes at the grocery store, of "do it MYSELF," of facts about dinosaurs delivered like a TED talk.

Parents often pre-empt the session with: "they might not sit still." Great news, dudes - I don't expect them to! I'll get the portraits (somehow, amidst it all, I always do - you'll have the classics). But the good stuff? I want the personality for dayyyyyyysssssss: the playful running, the twirl, the negotiations, the sass, the dirty knees (usually within minutes of my arrival haha!) - allllll the big feelings, at full volume but make it visual. Trust me - that's what you'll want too.

And here's my favorite version: lifestyle vibes, at home. There's nothing like documenting a little wild child in their natural habitat - their room, with all their treasures, at exactly the stage they're at. They LOVE the show-and-tell of it, and it makes for timeless little vignettes about who they are, right there and then. Do it at least once before they're a teen. Some of the most treasured photos I have of my own two kids are exactly these.

Bring the whole personality. Capes 100% welcome!!!
