Welcome to my Children's Portraiture portfolio. Located in the central valley of California and close enough to the bay area. It is the best of both worlds. I am close enough to drive to the San Francisco bay area. When doing a children's portrait session I really try and get to know the child. I really want to be creative and unique. I only shoot outdoors with natural light for my children's portrait sessions. I feel like this gives the best color and natural look. I want to capture laughter, serious and funny looks. The best age to shoot these awesome unique, creative images is 3 years old and upward. I have tons of locations to choose from located in Ripon, Livermore, San Francisco, Danville, walnut creek and Fremont. Being a San Francisco Bay area children's photographer I have had the pleasure of working with a lot of different clients. Children are usually shy at first but with my experience I am able to get them to open up and get natural smiles. Children usually only last for about 20 minutes and then they are ready to play. Bribes work well (ice cream, toys, gum candy all works well to get to kids to cooperate)
