when should I schedule my session?

"These are magic years... and therefore magic days...

and therefore magic moments."

   "When should I schedule my session?"

   "Should I wait until she is walking?"

   "Would it be better if his braces were off?"

   "Should the timing coincide with 'milestones?'"

My answer is always the same....

Children change so quickly. The smiles and expressions of today will fast become the memories of the child he or she was "not so long ago." As the mother of teenagers, I know how fast it goes. So many things I wish I had captured in my own children's lives are now a hazy memory. These snaggle tooth smiles, the swirl of hair on the back of a baby's head, the special way a 2 year old wrinkles her nose when she smiles. So many of these things will make amazing portraits and treasured memories, but we often overlook them in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. There really is no need to wait for the "right time" to schedule a session because it is always the right time. No matter what age, stage or phase your child is in, we will create images of who he or she is right now. Isn't that perfect?

Every day is special. Treasure it. Capture it. Remember it.

I sincerely look forward to meeting with you and photographing your child capturing forever this brief moment in childhood.
