Time Moves Too Fast

Raising kids is a whirlwind, but it should also feel deeply rewarding. Professional portraits help you remember the good times, plus it's an investment in your child's self confidence.

Are you worried about the potential amount of effort involved?  Choose Calotype for simple, timeless portraits you'll cherish forever.

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 (sizes, ages, quirks) and I’ll create a simple session for you, specifically designed to highlight what's beautiful about your family.
 

  I Click

Relax in my studio while I create beauty from chaos (kids included!). Sessions start at $175; prints and files are purchased separately. I'll explain everything in our chat, before you 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 on sturdy museum mount that won’t ever warp) starts at $95, with the high-res digital file included, all handled for you.  No extra decision later to figure out printing; I’ve taken care of every detail so you can just 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!)  I also have flexible payment plans to make it easy to bring your favorites home. We can chat about all of this so you are informed!
