One session to remember it all.
Children’s Portrait Sessions for Ages 2 and Up
Studio and Outdoor in Port Charlotte and throughout Southwest Florida.
Yes, Your toddler will be Fine. I promise.
I hear it all the time: "I'm worried my child won't cooperate." And I get it — toddlers are notoriously unpredictable. They have their own timeline, their own opinions, and absolutely zero interest in looking at a camera on command.
Here's what I know after years of working with little ones: the best photos rarely come from the moments they're cooperating. They come from the moments they forgot there was a camera at all.
I take my time. I get down on their level. I let them warm up at their own pace. There's no rushing, no pressure, and no expectation that a two-year-old should sit still. What we're after is real — and real is always better.
Parents are often surprised at what we capture together. And the photos they end up loving most? Usually the ones where their child was just being exactly themselves.
Everything You need to know
Children's sessions are available for ages 2 and up, with the option to add family members so everyone is included.
Sessions are offered both in my Port Charlotte studio and outdoors at locations throughout Southwest Florida. Outdoor sessions are available from October through May — Southwest Florida summers are simply too hot and humid to make the experience comfortable for your little one.
If you've been thinking about outdoor portraits, fall is the perfect time to book. The weather is beautiful, the light is gorgeous, and spots fill up quickly once the season opens.
Session Retainer
Child only: $190 Child + Family: $290. Images and artwork sold separately. Collections start at $790.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Honestly? Maybe, maybe not — and that's completely okay. I don't need your child to cooperate. I need them to be themselves. Some of the most beautiful images I've ever made came from kids who had absolutely no interest in looking at the camera. I take my time, I get on their level, and I let them lead. Parents are almost always surprised by what we capture together.
-
Absolutely. Sessions are available for your child alone or with family members — siblings, parents, grandparents, everyone. The session reservation is $190 for your child only, or $290 to include family. Either way, everyone is fully guided and no one has to wonder what to do.
-
Sessions are available for children ages 2 and up. If you have a baby or a child under 2, reach out — I'd love to talk and help you figure out the right session type for where your little one is right now.
-
Yes — outdoor sessions are available from October through May. Southwest Florida summers are simply too hot and humid to make the experience comfortable for your child (or anyone else). If you're hoping for an outdoor session, fall is the perfect time to book. Spots fill up quickly once the season opens.
-
Simple, classic, and comfortable is always the right answer. Avoid busy patterns or logos — they pull attention away from your child's face, which is the whole point.
-
After your session we'll schedule your personal reveal appointment — typically within the week — where you'll see your portraits on a large screen and choose your artwork.
The way your child looks right now — the way they laugh, the way they run, the faces they make when they think no one is watching — this is the version of them you'll want to remember forever.
These photographs become part of your family's story for generations to come.
When you're ready, I'll take care of everything.
