Children's Portrait Gallery
Our goal is to create
timeless portraits with focus on expression. The clothing you choose is
critical for a pleasing portrait with a strong visual statement.
Clothing should not be too loose or it will bunch up, overwhelming the
baby. Simple garments in solid colors always look best. Avoid patterns,
stripes and logos as they are distracting. Denim and pastels work well.
Avoid bright red and yellow as they affect skin color in the portrait.
Avoid colored shirts with a white collar as the white next to the face
pulls attention away from the face. You don't want the clothing to
distract from your beautiful baby. I photograph in a clean, simple
style, keeping props to a minimum to emphasize the subject. Feel free to
bring a few meaningful props you might like to include, as this adds to
the sentimental value and personalizes your portrait. A silver rattle,
small toy, blanket, hats or headbands are some ideas. We reserve the
right to limit the clothing changes per session so as not to overtire
the baby. We have a short window of opportunity when photographing
babies and they control the session!
Select clothing that is more "timeless"
in appeal. Neutral colors like brown, burgundy, forest green, or gray
will photograph best. Another excellent choice is white clothes, for a
relaxed look with bare feet, a few matching toys, etc., on a white
background. This will yield an image that can be enjoyed for many years,
and will avoid the "dated" look.
We offer composites in
several sizes and styles and our new memories proof book.
