Lifestyle Childrens Portrait Photographer in Ocala

Working as an childrens portrait photographer is a complete joy. The real-life children portraits I am able to capture as a are so fun, because kids are real and uninhibited in front of the camera and it is easier to get those candid shots. They are often playful and creative, especially when we focus the on the things they love. Some of my favorite photos are those where the children are hamming-it-up for the camera - kids can be goofy and still look down-right adorable. Capturing their personality and favorite things I think helps to better preserve the memories of when they are small.

I was a nanny for several years and think I relate with kids better than the average childrens portrait photographer. In a lot of ways I am a child still myself - I'm not afraid to jump around like a crazy monkey to get the 'real' smile. Most importantly, I won't force children to perform for the camera or do specific poses. I prefer to guide them to play and explore different things, which results in happier kids and better children portraits.

When we get together for your children's photography shoot, don't shy away from layers and accessories that can be added or taken away for different looks without complete wardrobe changes. Bring lots of drinks (that won't stain their lips), snacks, and plenty of wipees. Finally, if you have a blanket that coordinates with their clothing - bring it. I like to do poses on the ground and this will protect your little one and their clothing from moisture, soil and critters.

Children portrait sessions can be combined with a family photo shoot at a discount. I would love to talk to you to discuss ideas and locations for your children portrait session.
