I am available to take pictures of your child or your family. I will come to birthday parties or your special events. Preserve your memories in a photo book or with a CD of pictures. For more information, please read the Session Rates page or contact me for further details at nshabot@yahoo.com.
How are my pictures different from what Picture People or JCPenney would give you? Well, they pose your child (which I try not to do too much because I think natural, candid shots are way more fun) with an ugly grey/blue background or a fake country lane behind him and then fire away (with a high-powered flash) at your child for 20 minutes. It’s stressful and can be expensive once you’ve ordered all the pictures you want. AND, the pictures are boring and don’t convey anything about your child’s personality. Conversely, I aim to let your child stay comfortable in his own environment and I spend time understanding what makes him who he is so I can capture that personality. I get rewarded with natural smiles, intense gazes, and real emotion that really conveys who your child is and gives a peek into his/her life, more than you would get by trying to force him to smile at the camera. Even better, you get to have all the images I take so you can order whatever prints you like in any size or create your own photo collages or canvases.
