Newborn Photography

There is nothing as beautiful as photographing your newborn.When scheduling your newborn photography in Eau Claire, WI, I recommend doing so between within the first two weeks of the baby being born. This ensures I get the sleepy and curly posture of your newborn. 

As a newborn photographer in Eau Claire, WI, I always like to offer my clients helpful tips and ideas to ensure that their newborn photography session goes as smoothly as possible for both baby and mama. Remember, our main goal is to make the session as enjoyable as possible and this means your newborn should be comfortable as I photograph.

During the newborn photography session you can expect to see a lot of cute, funny, and just plain weird expressions on your baby's face. Whether it's a toot that makes your babe smile or the flash of the bulb that makes them grimace, I will be there to capture all of their priceless expressions. The end result is some pretty amazing and candid photos of your new little babe. 
​
For the studio newborn sessions, I prefer doing them within the first two weeks of birth because the baby is normally moldable and sleepy. This session usually lasts about 2 hours but can be up to 3 hours with lots of posing, diaper changes and feeding. I take time to edit every photo in order to get a polished end result.

Baby and Children's Photography

Over time I have come to realize that the best baby portraits are those which come from unexpected moments. I usually follow your child’s lead and this ensures that I capture their natural expressions. I don’t like pushing them to a pose or force them to smile at the camera. This is because I believe each child is unique and therefore I do my very best to capture the different range of emotions that make your child truly unique. It could be a sneer, a pout, a giggle, or even a look of wonder.

I enjoy playing with the your kids and laughing with them. This puts them at ease and makes our session go a lot more smoothly. Normally when scheduling the children sessions, I work closely with you so as to find a time that all of you will be comfortable with. Most children work well with mornings, but from experience, the best time is when your baby is well fed and rested. The reason why infant sessions can at times take longer is because we have to accommodate for feedings, diaper changes, and other things that can come up *ahem..tantrums*.
.
I mostly leave the choice of clothing to the parents, but I can offer a hint or two that can help you to choose clothing that is based on the session style. For instance, if you want to go with the everyday, casual photography session, jeans and a bright top can do. If you're going for a more formal photography session, perhaps a pair of dress slacks and button up would work best. What you should try to keep in mind is that the choice of clothes your baby puts on is a reflection of their personality.

Maternity Photography

Pregnancy photography is a fast growing trend. When you're searching for Maternity photography in Eau Claire, WI, your search can stop here. . My job as a maternity’ photographer is to make you feel amazing throughout the session and for years to come through your maternity photos. The actual reason why you may want photos of your pregnancy is to ensure the generation that follows behind gets an opportunity to share in your pride as their mother. Or you just might want to be able to show them "look what I did for you!" In my experience, you quickly forget your pregnancy (probably for good reason too), but getting your maternity photographs taken will help you and your children remember how deeply and fiercely you care for and love them, even in the womb. Imagine how you would feel if someone gave you photos of your mother when she was expectant with you. If you're anything like me, it could surely make you blubber like a baby at the beautiful site.  

I advise expectant mothers to schedule their pregnancy sessions when they are about 28 to 34 weeks. At this time, their tummy is nice and round.
That being said, nothing about pregnancy is "cookie cutter" and everything varies from one woman to another. There are those who carry small or do not gain as much weight during pregnancy (yeah I hate them too), for this lucky category, I advise that they schedule their session anywhere from 36 or even 38 weeks. With that being said, the whole idea is for you to come when you are comfortable and your belly is nice and round.

Family Photography

The energy and emotion of family photography is an experience like no other. Children are certainly joyful and dynamic and it is such a delight to capture as many great images of them as possible. Most of my clients invite me for family sessions when there is a new addition in the family or when there is a get together after many months or years being apart from one another. I always feel honored to be part of these precious family moments.

As a family photographer in Eau Claire, WI, my passion is centered on capturing and recording the visual history of you and your family through photography. As you go through your classic family photos and become teary eyed and cheerful, I shall then know that I have done my job well. It is always good to look at your pictures and remember the good times you had with your family or be able to recall with clarity a certain time in your family's lives.  This is what keeps the bond strong even when you are apart from each other for long durations. 

As a family, you will decide way before the family sessions what you will wear depending on the theme you choose (if you choose one). However, as always I recommend comfort in your wears, and neutral or pastel color because they appear so nicely in photos. Try and avoid bright colors as well as large prints because these tend to steal the attention from the happy smiles of the family members. Even though the energy levels and rhythm of your children will determine the duration of the session, most of our standard family sessions are about 1 hour, but can run over too, depending on how much fun everyone is having! 

Senior Photography

I have a huge variety of senior sessions including outdoor and indoor sessions. The location, time, outfits and styles are very important considerations in senior sessions.

I like going to all of the places that your senior holds near and dear. Or just the places that they think would best fit their style and personality. For instance, outdoor is popular and I love the natural lighting it provides, however outdoors isn't always appropriate, after all, we do live in Eau Claire, WI. Indoors is nice when you're looking for a more formal senior photography session.

As far as the clothing your senior chooses, I recommend timeless or classic outfits or trendy outfits that make our clients happy. Whatever makes your senior happy is what is going to work best, because it will allow their confidence and beauty shine through in their senior photographs. 

​I do senior pictures all year long so you can chose the season or time that works best with your schedule and taste!
