Hi,

Family Photographer

I’m so excited to work with you! Thank you for trusting me to freeze this moment in time for your child. Each season of childhood is so special, and I can’t wait to capture the little details that make them them.


This guide will help you prepare for your Modern Kid Portrait session. Above all, remember that these portraits are all about celebrating your child’s unique personality—they’re meant to be simple, playful, and fun. Don’t overthink it! When you picture your child at this stage, what comes to mind first? That’s what we want to capture.

The Experience


Modern Kid Portraits are all about celebrating your child exactly as they are—no forced smiles, no stiff poses, just their authentic personality shining through. These short and sweet sessions are designed to be effortless and fun, giving kids the space to be themselves, whether that means showing off their biggest grin, their most serious stare, or their favorite silly face.


The process is simple: You’ll arrive at my home, and within minutes, I’ll guide your child through a relaxed, playful session that highlights all the little details that make them them. Their gapped-tooth smile, the way they scrunch their nose when they laugh, their current obsession—whether it’s a favorite toy, a beloved stuffed animal, or their superhero cape they refuse to take off.


These sessions are quick, easy, and designed to create timeless portraits you’ll treasure long after this phase of childhood has passed.

I will welcome you into my home, where the sunlight flows through the windows into the living room creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. With a clean white backdrop, the focus will remain entirely on your child—their expressions, their personality, their unique quirks. To keep things simple and timeless, the room will be free of distractions, allowing your child to step into the spotlight and just be them. Whether they’re feeling playful, serious, silly, or shy, this space is designed to let their true personality shine.

what to wear


The beauty of Modern Kid Portraits is that they are all about your child—their personality, their quirks, their style. There’s no pressure to dress up or coordinate the perfect outfit. Instead, think about what makes your child them in this season of life.


Does your little one love to twirl in a flowy dress? Let them spin to their heart’s content. Is your child all about their favorite hoodie and sneakers? Perfect—let’s capture them just as they are. Maybe they’re in their superhero era and refuse to take off their costume—bring it! Whether it’s rain boots with every outfit, a well-loved hat, or a t-shirt they insist on wearing daily, these small details help tell their story.


When you look back at these portraits, I want you to feel this stage of life all over again. So embrace the everyday magic—whatever that looks like for your child.

Final Thoughts


Please plan to arrive five minutes early so we can make the most of your session time. Sessions are scheduled back-to-back, so unfortunately, I won’t be able to extend your session for late arrivals. Be sure to allow extra time to find my home and get your little ones unbuckled and ready.


My front living room will be set up for a fun and enjoyable experience, complete with music to help you and your kiddos feel at ease. This is your special time to connect, play, and create beautiful memories together!
