answers for mom's in Ann Arbor :  'What makes a timeless toddler / child portrait?'

A touching, powerful portrait of your child.  That simply is what we both desire to create when you come to Photo Generations.  We use mostly natural light to create unique toddler & child portraits in our 1850's era studio-it's the house with the double bay windows a few doors from Main Street in downtown Dexter. NOTE: WE MEET BY APPOINMENT ONLY!

this is how we do it at Photo Generations :  'cruizing baby's, curious kids, & pictures'

I've been a child & baby photographer now almost as long as Ive been a photojournalist.    I've learned this:

Baby photography is a lot like news photography:  'F8 & be there'. [Translation:  Keep it simple. And Be Ready]

Simplicity is at the heart of wonderful children photography here in Ann Arbor and the world over.  With children, less fuss = better images.  Less fuss + less stress = comfortable child = natural expressions = golden moments = fun.

Preparation allows Simplicity...and wonderful natural child portraits.

# 2: Baby photography is a lot like news photography:  'Tell the Story'. [Translation:  Know your Subject]

For me to tell your child's story in photography we prepare by consulting and planning. We talk.
Planning = The key to creating a child portrait that you will forever cherish
• 1:   We must agree to a portrait strategy allowing your child to be relaxed and ready.
• 2:    You must understand what we can create together.
• 3:    I must understand what you desire.


When it comes to children photography in Ann Arbor:    Let fuss+more preparation = wonderful images

 We talk together prior to photography day to discover how your preferences and needs mesh with our style of children photography.  I prefer you actually visit the studio to get the lay of the land.   This preparation allows you to arrive with your child ready on portrait session day.  When you, mom, are relaxed, (surprised! it's true) your child's session will be very smooth and enjoyable.  

A bit about child portrait sessions at the studio-it feels like a home so kids warmup quickly here in Dexter

I require parents of young children (age 18-months to 5 years) to arrive at session time prepared to start making images almost immediately simply because:  that's when most children are naturally ready!    Sometimes a warm-up time is needed, that's okay.  Of course we pause for hair and clothing tune-ups.

We have least one hour for our time together, and we may not use all that time.  We do not rush.  I schedule only one client-at-a-time-that is especially necessary at child photography session times.  We focus on capturing wonderful images at session time. You will return after the session for the Big Show. See this info regarding your portrait display options. You'll see your sessions best images with my artist  suggessions for display-including a few special touches you may not have pre-envisioned!

Regarding cost of a session and prints, most families spend between $300 and $3000 depending on tastes and budget.   Sessions start at $90 for child portraits during the week.   Families and weekend photography sessions start at $150.  We also have a wonderful value in the Baby First Year in Portrait Plan .   Ask about it! Call 734.426.0700.


Next Step: Let's Talk.  Let's find out what kind of portrait to make of your kids.

I hope the above information helps you get a feel of how we do our young child portraits here.  Dexter-Ann Arbor commute time is very good and most moms are able to drive 20 to 40 minutes and everyone arrives & we're ready to roll in no time.  Before we know it- the session is a success and we're 'havin' snacks!

Sincerely,
Colleen
