My work:

 

Fortunately for you my studio is your home, nearby parks or location of choice.

· Newborns

The preferable age to photograph newborns is from about day one, to one month. After that  he/she will sleep less and it's more difficult to capture cute sleepy shots. Newborns are usually shot naked. This way is easier to capture their tenderness and innocence. If the client wants a photo shoot right after  birth in the hospital arrangements could be made. Props such as: booties, legwarmers, beanies, baskets, bowls, etc, are used in these shoot. Yes, parents can also be used as props.

 

·  Babies:

For babies (one month old until they are walking) and toddlers (when they start walking till three yrs old)  most of the props from newborns are used, except baskets or bowls. Since babies and toddlers are restless, I usually ask the parents to bring their toys, books, stuffed animals, etc. This way they are more comfortable while they’re being photographed. If the session is in the child's house this, obviously, won’t be a problem. Some shots will be taken nude, others with neutral or pastel colored clothing. No logo or cartoon clothing.

 

·       Children and Older Teens

These photo shoots are mostly taken in different locations like: parks, fields and graffiti filled walls. On older teens I ask for worn out jeans, cute skirts, band t-shirts, leggings, hats or beanies, butterfly or all sort of different wings, scarves, etc. Please no logo or cartoon shirts

 

·                    Families

Family Portraits are not my preference; but I will make some exceptions. These are done on location  other than inside the home for groups of five and more. All members in the family must have matching clothing. For footwear, bare feet are the best, but if they must wear something, shoes or sandals are preferable. No cartoons or wild colors please.

 

Sessions

 

Sessions last about two to three hours depending on the baby, child or teen’s cooperation. Prices are to be discussed by e-mail or phone.
