As a mom myself, I know you all have moments when you think, "Man, I wish I could freeze this moment in time!" What if I told you that is just what Elle May Photography's Modern Kid Portraits is for?! Modern Kid Portraits were created to be a quick, easy way to capture photos of kids that showcase their true personality. If this sounds like something you want to book RIGHT NOW, here is a breakdown of what to expect from start to finish.

Fun & Easygoing experience


Forget the pressure of forced smiles or perfectly coordinated outfits. This session is designed to be fun for your child! Whether they are naturally outgoing or a little more reserved, I create a relaxed environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves. The goal is to capture who they are right now - whether that's serious, silly, confident, or quiet.

come as you are


One of the best things about these sessions? There’s no need to stress about what to wear. Let your child’s personality shine through in their outfit choices! Whether they want to wear their favorite superhero cape, mismatched socks, or a princess dress over jeans—go for it! This is their time to show off their style.


Want to keep it simple? A solid-colored shirt, comfy jeans, or a favorite dress always work beautifully against the clean, white backdrop of the studio.

Props Welcome


Have a child who never goes anywhere without their stuffed animal, sports gear, or toy dinosaur? Bring it along! 


A favorite book, musical instrument, or even a well-loved blankie can add a personal touch to the photos. These little details will become cherished memories years from now.

Short & Sweet Sessions


Each session lasts only 5-10 minutes—the perfect amount of time to capture a variety of expressions without kids losing interest. They’ll have the chance to play, move, and interact naturally, so their personality truly shines.

After Your Session


After the session, you’ll receive a gallery where you can select your favorite three digital images (with the option to upgrade to a full gallery if you can’t choose just three—because let’s be honest, you probably won’t be able to!).


You’ll also have access to high-quality print options to bring these images to life in your home—because these are the kind of portraits you’ll want to display and treasure forever. They also look great hanging large-scale in a playroom or kid's bedroom!
