A standard session usually lasts between 1-1 1/2 hours and can be held at a local park, your home, or one of my favorite locations.  I primarily use natural light and natural backgrounds in my photography, so outdoors is usually best for beautiful portraits but because we live in the midwest our cold weather may require us to use our downtown Naperville Studio.  I will take a little time at the beginning of the session to find the best light and surroundings for your session.  I try to keep things calm and relaxed.  I will never rush you, and if your child needs to take a break, I am more than happy to stop so everyone can take a breather.  I do ask that children be fed and well rested before the session so that they are comfortable when we begin. Please bring a few snacks (non-messy preferred!) and water for them if they get hungry or thirsty during the session.  We will most likely walk around a bit to get a variety of shots.
I strive to bring out the best in the people I photograph, and I will do everything I can to create beautiful portraits for you.  If you have any special requests or circumstances, I will do my best to accomodate them.
