timeless children's portraits | charlotte, NC

Who doesn’t want timeless portraits of their children displayed in their home? It’s a no brainer for me, which is why I created the Children’s Portrait Pop Up! With three kids of my own and 9 years in the business of photographing children, you can trust that I’ve come up with the perfect system to capture your little ones in images you’ll treasure for a lifetime. From the moment you sign up, I’ve got you. You’ll receive notes on what to wear, what to expect, and details on how to make the most of our time together. I lay it all out for you to make sure we get the BEST photos possible!

My kids had so much fun during their portraits! They’ve already asked to come back again!

We’ll spend a quick 15 minutes together in front of the camera, which is just the right amount of time for any child to sit, smile, laugh, be silly, and have just enough attention to get us the perfect shots. Every child leaves with a little goody at the end of our session (and no, I’m not above bribing them with said treat if we’re having a tough day). Your job as the parent is to have fun, sit back, relax and let me do all the work! I ask that parents take a back seat during our sessions and let the child know that Miss Amanda is in charge. This helps our little ones know who to listen to rather than having multiple adults directing them at once, which can feel overwhelming. And my biggest rule during these short sessions is that I don’t allow discipline or threats of discipline during our time together… this is a time for fun! So think of this as 15 minutes out of your day that you don’t have to parent ;) I promise, my strategy works! It’s all about trust.

What to expect after your session? Approximately two weeks after our time together, you’ll receive a password protected, online gallery of your edited images, with a special code to download the images for safe keeping. My biggest piece of advice, however, is to go ahead and order those prints! These are meant to be keepsake images, displayed in your home, not hidden away on your hard drive. Which is why my galleries are set up specifically to make ordering framed prints, enlargements, and archival prints so easy. Not only is ordering directly from your gallery simple, but it’s the most cost effective option for quality prints out there. Turn an everyday print to a piece of art to be cherished for generations. Printed on professional-grade fine art archival paper, fine art prints have a matte appearance with excellent image sharpness and optimal color density and gradation. The thickness and surface texture of these fine art papers provide both substance and beauty. And the pricing is amazing! A 16x24” black gallery frame with white mat for $162?! I promise you won’t find another place to print and frame your images at this quality for this price anywhere else. It’s a no brainer! So what are you waiting for?
