Whether you have an only child or a big happy tribe, aged anywhere from 12 months to 18 years old, we love nothing more than to capture their true personality, and the bonds and natural interactions between siblings in stunning images that will make you fall in love with your children all over again.
Your Session, Your Style
When styling your images we will always work with you to take your personal style preferences into account first and foremost.
The process begins with a phone consultation during which we will chat about your tastes, colour preferences, and your home décor. We will also consider the style of any photos from previous sessions you may already have to ensure a consistency across your photo displays.
At the beginning of your Children photography Melbourne session, you can view all our available props and with our help we’ll make final style decisions.
What to Wear
When it comes to clothing, keeping it simple is essential to ensure your portraits are all about the your child and without any distractions. Choose plain colours, or classic patterns such as spots, stripes, checks and simple florals.
When dressing two or more children, steer away from more than one child wearing a pattern as this can result in images that are too busy or chaotic. Choose instead complementary colours or varying tones of the same colour.
For younger children, we have a large selection of classic props to choose from such as baskets, blankets, chairs, head pieces, hats and some prop style clothing such as tutus.
Timing
This is most relevant in the case of younger children who tend to be happiest in the morning, so we recommend considering your child’s best time of day, and timing your Children photography Melbourne session to suit.
We allow 2 hours to photograph your children, however as a guide you can expect it to take only an hour to create a full gallery of images for you.
