light,
first.
One source. One background. No props. We think a child's face is enough to look at.
a studio,
brought to you.
We do not photograph in whatever light a room happens to have. We bring one large soft source and one neutral background, and we set them up the same way in every centre.
The result is that a portrait taken in Thornbury and a portrait taken in Brunswick look like they belong to the same set. Siblings photographed three years apart match. A centre's website does not look assembled from four different photographers.
Consistency is the product. Everything else follows from it.
themed backdrops
Autumn leaves, chalkboards, seasonal borders. They date the image immediately and they compete with the subject.
props
Nothing is handed to a child to hold. A prop gives them something to perform with, and performance is the thing we are trying to avoid.
retouching children
We correct colour and exposure. We do not remove marks, scratches or gaps in teeth. Those are the parts a family later says they had forgotten.
package tiers
One price. Every frame. No upgrade path.
