family & child sessions

family and child sessions
I photograph babies, children, high school seniors and families year-round in my studio and outdoors. I love the snow and will happily do photo sessions outdoors in the winter!
I prefer to photograph babies under 6 months old (not yet sitting independently) in the studio where I have special chairs and cushions for supporting infants seated or on his or her tummy. The studio is a very comfortable and homey environment for babies to be in just a diaper or in his or her birthday suit.
Greenleaf Photo Studio can accomodate up to five family members. For family groups larger than five, I shoot either outdoors or in your home. I am happy to travel anywhere within the Greater Cincinnati area for family photo sessions. I do prefer to visit a home for planning before the day of the session. There is no extra charge for this service.
Clothing for family sessions does need to be coordinated in advance. It is your choice how you like to dress, but I suggest that you stay roughly within the same color/style themes, not necessarily identical. For outdoor sessions, it makes sense to be dressed appropriately for the season... generally in light tops for summer and darker colors for fall. Everyone should be in either lights or darks, so no one stands out from the crowd too much. The exceptions are with babies or grandparents, whom you may want to have stand out. Most importantly: clothes should fit well... not too tight of too loose. Don't forget about coordinating socks and shoes! Or better yet... go barefoot!
We can shoot until your kids fizzle out or until we are sure we've captured all the poses you're interested in doing. I make every effort to schedule photo sessions with young children according to their "best" times of day. I want everyone to be as happy as possible, and that means full tummies and plenty of rest time.
