If you want to feel rich, just count the things in your life that money can't buy.
What Psychologists say about Childrens photography.

Many psychologists who specialize in early childhood development believe that children who see their own images displayed throughout the home grow up with a feeling of well-being and self-confidence. Portraits on display, they agree, serve to make a child feel loved and valued. And when mom and dad and even grandparents appear in the portrait, the child is reminded of the meaningful place he or she enjoys within the family.

What better way to demonstrate how you feel about your child than to decorate your home with portraits made at important milestones in his or her life!
At no time in your child's life will changes occur more rapidly than they do during that first year and early childhood years that follow. In what seems like the blink of an eye, a tiny helpless bundle is transformed into an active, robust, and inquisitive youngster. These changes have already begun!

Your New Precious Gift
Now is the time to capture the closeness of the bond that exists between your family and your new arrival. Details of every wrinkle, precious little nose, toes, hands, and lips should be recorded forever.

At 3 Months
Long after they are grown and gone, our images will evoke the emotions and memories of their innocence and love.

The sweetness of the newborn skin is the best "outfit" for this age. Bringing the baby's special blanket, a hair bow, or a pillow and stuffed animal from home will help to personalize the portrait. If we get lucky, the baby will fall asleep just in time for us to capture that innocence.

Strengthened muscles let them sit up and take part in the world around them. Often, happy-go-lucky, they crave the attention and delight in having an audience. Portraits at this age are a perfect time to reveal chubby little arms and legs-and even backsides. If the baby has begun to crawl, we will be able to capture that milestone.

At 9 Months
“Up, up, and not quite away, I just learned to stand today. Soon I’ll be able to run and play. for now, I’ll just stand and sway.” - Crystal Dawn Perry

Still dependent on their parents, but starting to explore an ever-expanding world, they are well on their way to becoming a real little person as their individual personalities begin to emerge. Changes in personality and facial features make this a great time for close ups. Adding a hat or ball cap adds variety.

At 1 Year
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Still a baby, yet emerging as a robust and inquisitive child who is ready to meet the world. For the child who is now walking, the perfect message for this portrait to portray now is, "I'm Free!" Bringing special props from home or a birthday cake can help your child's personality shine through. This is also a great time for your first family portrait.
