They're only a baby for twelve months. And only a child for twelve years. It goes by all too quickly and each milestone, each stage, is worth saving. The funny little thing they did at six months you'll still see glimpses of when they're eight years old, but having a beautiful picture that you can hold onto helps you hold onto them for just a while longer.
The magic of childhood can never be replicated and should never be forgotten.
Childhood is filled with so much change. In the first year alone they change from a tiny newborn to a loud and playful toddler. Then, over the following years they learn to ride bikes, to read, they gain best friends, and before we know it, they're nearly grown. Those first years don't seem nearly long enough and we desperately want to hold on somehow and just slow things down, afraid that we're going to miss something, forget something. Through photography we document life's most treasured moments, record all the precious, overlooked details, and slow time down just a bit.
My Anchorage studio is designed with the child in mind. Soft blankets for cuddling, benches for sitting, a wrought-iron bed to jump on (with mom & dad close at hand, of course), and plenty of camera-ready classic toys for guided play. Filled with beautiful light and a cozy atmosphere, my studio calms the most active of toddlers and allows the whole family to relax, ready to laugh, smile, and enjoy being together.
Let's go play outside! Children and babies are often happiest when outdoors and there are few things sweeter than a child dancing among wildflowers in the final golden light of the day. Whether we visit one of my beloved field locations, stomp through the woods, pick berries on the mountainside, or go on a new adventure together, we will capture your little one doing what they do best: simply enjoying being a child.
When it comes to children's clothing, it seems like everything is neon or has some cartoon character on it. But don't worry. I've curated an ever-growing wardrobe filled with classic pieces in gentle tones for children ages 3mo to 8yrs (for older children outfits are styled individually). Each article of clothing has been carefully selected to achieve the perfect timeless look, taking one more thing off your plate.
Does your little one love to giggle? Are they at that stage where they only give solomn, serious expressions? Or perhaps they love airplanes or want to twirl like a ballerina? All of it is wonderful. All of it. Natural photography captures your little one exactly the way they are, but ensures that all the little details that set a picture apart- lighting, background, styling- are the best they can be, creating the most beautifully natural images.
