Babies & Toddlers

The earliest years are filled with softness, curiosity, and fleeting moments that pass far too quickly.

These sessions are designed with patience and intention—allowing babies and toddlers to explore, connect and simply be, while creating refine portraits meant to live on your walls for years to come.

The Work

A curated collection of baby and toddler portraits—created with patience, intention, and a focus on genuine connection.

A Gentle, Child-Led Experience


Babies and toddlers are beautifully unpredictable — and that’s exactly how these sessions are designed. There’s no rush, no pressure, and no expectation for little ones to “perform.” Sessions move at your child’s pace, allowing space for curiosity, quiet moments, and natural interaction.

Whether your child wants to explore, sit close, or simply observe, each session is guided with patience and intention — creating portraits that feel honest, timeless, and full of heart.
