Smiles and sunshine and twirly skirts… All what the girls like! Taking pictures of moms and their children, both boys and girls, is pure joy to me. Nothing beats to see the special bond between a mom and her child! Watching them smile to each other, see gentle hugs, catching all the silly faces kids make, chasing after running squealing kids always makes my day. But more important, it makes such great memories for the parents. Childhood doesn’t last forever and we only get to keep what we could preserve – small pieces of their carefree days of pieces of paper. An album, a photo book, maybe a large canvas or a metal print on your wall. I love that we can freeze the time this way.
When scheduling a mommy-and-me session, please follow these guidelines. Make sure your child is feeling well. Bring some snacks and water, and a change of clothes. Especially if we are doing the photo session close to water. Think about your child’s favorite toys, and bring them along (1-2). I will bring something to entertain her too, don’t worry. It’s just better to have more options, than less!
We will play some simple and silly games to make your child feel safe and relaxed. Whenever she feels comfortable, we will start taking pictures. I will gently guide you through the session, asking you to do simple activities with your child, making sure she enjoys it. My goal is to make your time with me special and fun.
To make sure your photographs are worthy to go on your walls, I like to make sure that colors we use to make the pictures go well together. Neutral solid colors are the best to complement green background (if the photos are taken outdoors).
Long flowy dresses are perfect for twirling and running around, they help to create effect of movement, motion, to help the photograph look truly like a frozen moment of your life.
