Childhood is meant to be barefoot.

There's a version of your child that exists only right now. The wildness in their hair. The weight of them, the particular light behind their eyes.

The Barefoot Sessions are made to catch it before it changes. Stripped of everything but the child in front of the lens.

No color.

No fussy clothing.

No posing.

No say cheese.

Just your child and this moment.

  • Each additional sibling $275

  • Add sibling portrait $295

What’s included:

  • Includes 3 black and white digital images per child.

A young boy with short hair and a playful expression, sitting on a vintage stool, wearing denim overalls and no shirt, in a minimalist studio setting with a plain, light background, captured in black and white.
A young girl with curly hair in a white dress, sitting on a bed with a plain wall in the background, captured in black and white.
A child jumping on a bed with a white blanket in a bedroom with a plain wall in the background.

PURE PORTRAITS. NO CHEESE.

These pure and natural portraits are real moments, in the moment. Your child will be expected to be themselves. Smiles or not, laughter or wonder, twirling or lounging. Sibling portraits will be wild and organic. This is not your smile-for-the-camera session. This isn’t about being perfect. Because isn’t the wild nature of childhood perfect enough?
