6 weeks to pre-k

Our expert team specializes in working with infants and young children. We know how to connect with little ones, safely handle and photograph infants, and bring out genuine smiles for portraits families truly love.

preSchool

We make photo day fun and stress-free for toddlers and preschoolers! Our team knows just how to encourage cooperation, playfully engage young kids, and capture those big personalities. Sessions can take place indoors or outside—whatever works best for your space and schedule.

Elementary

kindergarten to 4th/5th

Elementary-aged kids are full of personality—and we make sure it shines in their portraits. Our photographers create a relaxed, friendly environment where kids feel comfortable and confident. From Kindergarten through 5th grade, we capture timeless, true-to-them images that parents treasure.

Middle school

We know middle schoolers are in that in-between stage—not little kids, not quite high schoolers—and we photograph them with that in mind. Our approach is low-pressure, age-appropriate, and designed to help students feel seen and confident. No awkward poses—just natural, polished portraits they (and their parents) will be proud of.

high School

Senior year is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone, and we’re here to capture it in style! From classic cap-and-gown portraits to stylish outfit choices and traditional yearbook drapes, we make sure your senior looks their best.
