I have a very casual and relaxed approach to family photo-shoots.  I try to allow time for your child and I to get aquainted before the photoshoot begins.  During the session, I do my very best to keep it fun and interesting.  With younger children,  a session is very much like a play date together - we may play games, sing songs, go on an adventure, or do other fun activities to bring out their personalities.  With older children, I may take them aside to get to know them and their interests.  Because I want to capture your child as they are, I don't use stiff, unnatural poses or ask them to say "cheese", although I will guide and direct them to acheive the shots we are looking for. I allow time for breaks, snacks/nursing, and clothing changes during your session.  Being a mother myself, I understand the importance of keeping everyone happy! A typical session can last anywhere from one to three hours (sometimes longer if you have a newborn).  I don’t have a limit to the number of images that I take.  I will capture as many images as I feel necessary to ensure a successful session.
