Is Time Moving Too Fast?

Raising kids is a whirlwind!

Professional portraits help you remember the good times. And did you know that a professional studio session is a rewarding investment in your child's developing self confidence? They intuitively know that only something valuable gets photographed. Show them how much they mean to you with a professional studio portrait session!

No Stress, Just Smiles

Worried it’ll be chaotic? Kids won’t cooperate, everyone’s cranky, and the session will feel like herding cats? At Calotype, I have a plan for that! I’ll guide you through every step, ensuring a fun and relaxed atmosphere for everyone.

Simplicity = Sophistication

By listening to your pain points upfront, I craft an easy session for your family’s season of life. I start with a composition based on your family’s size, age, and mobility because our brains love balance and clarity.

Look Your Best In The Studio

As an artist, I see you differently than you see yourself. Since I don't have your biases holding me back, I can zero in on your best features creating an authentic and attractive portrait where you look like yourself "on a really good day."

Here’s How It Works

We Chat

Tell me about your family and I’ll create a simple session for you, specifically designed to highlight what's beautiful about your family or children.

I Create

Relax in my studio while I create beauty from chaos. Sessions take around 30 minutes and every detail is pre-planned. Cost for the session is 175 and you'll pay that in advance to book.

You Choose

Come back a few days later to review the images I’ve crafted just for you. Watch your family’s story unfold in a heartfelt slideshow, and pick the moments you love. Each heirloom-quality print (think vibrant, warm colors) starts at $95, with the high-res digital file included. No extra decisions later to figure out printing; I’ve taken care of every detail so you can enjoy your treasures, decided right there in person.

Why This Matters

Time matters to me, that’s why I always start with a real conversation. Over a quick chat, I’ll walk you through everything; how I shoot, what happens next, and all my terms upfront. I’m in this to create images you’ll adore (and refer me to your friends!)

FAQ

How much?

Personal portraits can range from 400-1800 depending on how many images you decide to purchase.

Do I get digital files?

Not with your Session fee. They're purchased separately, one at time so you only go home with images you love. They are high resolution, retouched, and with no watermark.

Can I bring my whole family?

How many are in your family? Call me and let's chat.

Do you have packages?

Yes, around the Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays I offer special packages for my in-studio photography only. Email me and I'll send you the info!

Can I book online?

I screen all potential clients to make sure we're a good fit. I thrive off meeting your expectations, but I need to find out what your expectations are! Call me or schedule a free consultation. After that, I can either book you over the phone or send you a link to my private booking calendar. It might help you to know that I do not work weekends but I shoot on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 AM to 7 PM.
