The way he tilt his head when he's thinking. The way her hands fidget when she's excited.
The way they clutch a favorite lovey, twirl their hair, squint into the light, or burst into laughter without warning.
These are the tiny things that make your child them. And somehow, while you're right there watching, all those tiny things begin to disappear.
The Story of You was created to remember them.
A short and sweet portrait session that gives your child room to simply be themselves — while I watch for the expressions, gestures, quirks, and little pieces of personality you know by heart.
As a former preschool teacher and photographer for almost two decades, I've spent a long time getting to know little ones.
And I’ve learned that the best way to photograph a child is to let them be one.
There’s no pressure to sit perfectly or smile on command. We’ll play, talk, explore, be silly, and take breaks when we need them. I’ll gently guide things along while giving your child plenty of room to lead the way.
Because when a child feels comfortable enough to forget about the camera, that’s when their real personality comes through.
Years from now, when childhood feels far away, these images will bring you back.
Back to the missing teeth.
The favorite stuffed animal.
The way they scrunched their nose when they laughed.
The quiet moments and the big expressions.
Not just what your child looked like — but who they were.
Let's tell their story.
