Being largely a natural light photographer,  my first instinct is to take children out into the open, allowing them them naturally explore the surroundings and to begin creating those magical moments, that only a child’s imagination can create.  However, capturing a child playing naturally can be achieved at a park, reserve, in your own home or backyard.

Keeping your child happy and amused will the be the task of the photographer largely, however, small snacks of “clean” finger food and drinks will help keep your child nourished and content.  When scheduling your session, I will be more than happy to work around usual nap and meal times, as pushing a child past their normal routine will not be conducive to the happiest of times!

Custom portraiture is rarely having your child looking at the camera and repeating the “cheese” phrase!  It generally creates fake smiles and can leave your child feeling even more pressured to perform.  As a photographer, I will attempt to engage your young one in conversation or movement (for younger children). 

Feel free to bring along any items you would like to incorporate into your shoot, or even items that may give a sense of security to your little one.  These items can sometimes be a key reminder of their younger days.  If possible, bring a small brush or comb to your session, along with a wet wipe.

If on the morning on your scheduled session, you feel that your young one is not feeling 100%, please contact me.  I understand that children become unwell very quickly, I will be more than happy to reschedule.

I look forward to capturing some lasting memories of your children, please contact me on 0414 015 602 if you would like any further information.
