Baby and child sessions






West Virginia’s Top Children and Pet Photographer

I specialize in children and pets because they are two of my favorite things!

It started with my own children and our pets. Over the years, there were ducks, puppies, kittens, and even skunks! My love of photographing these special creatures with children continued to grow until I started getting known as “the animal photographer.”

Over the years, I’ve developed techniques to introduce children to animals safely and to photograph them in outdoor settings that showcase their love and innocence. Some of the animals you see in these photos live at my house (it’s a zoo!), some are collaborations with local farms that hand-raise their animals, and some are beloved family pets.

No animals are ever harmed or put into unnatural poses; all the photos are real, organic moments between the child and the animal.

Baby and Kid Photography

I love being a children’s portrait photographer because children are so uninhibited. They don’t see life outlined in lines and rules; they see life in big, bright, bold technicolor. Life is fascinating to them!

Capturing a moment in time of your children is my goal as a portrait photographer. I have clients that come back year after year, and I’m lucky enough to be the one that documents their lives. Each session is special because each stage of your child’s growth is amazing, from newborn through the teen years.

Client Closet

In many of my photos, you’ll see little girls in adorable dresses or little boys in charming outfits. Many of them come from my client closet, which is a curated collection of the most beautiful children’s clothing I can find. Rather than investing in clothing your child may never wear again, I take care of all of the styling for you! 

Sessions

All of my sessions include my time and talent and high-resolution digital files. You can always purchase additional prints or albums from your online collection if you wish! I do not have a minimum purchase, and you are welcome to print and share your images. 


Deluxe Children’s Session

It’s my most popular session! This session is recommended if you want to include pets in the session and if you are looking for different looks or outfit changes. It also includes travel up to 2.5 hours, so we can do the session at many amazing locations in and around West Virginia.

Mini Sessions

Throughout the year, based upon availability, I do mini-sessions which are often themed with animals. These sessions book up fast, so to be the first to know about them, follow me on Facebook and Instagram.

How this works

Get in touch, and I’ll send you the information on booking, and then I will have you fill out a questionnaire that tells me all about your kids. Easy!
