THREE MONTHS can only focus on objects close up, but begins to have many expressions and is now starting to be strong enough to be propped up on their stomach - although they may prefer being on their back. Three months is also a wonderful time to have what we call a "Madonna Portrait" of the baby with his mother - a special portrait you'll treasure forever. We encourage you to join our "Watch Baby Grow" club with the first session being at three months and the last session at twelve months. Ask for detail on how to receive a free beautiful mat containing four to five photographs showing the baby's first year!
SIX MONTHS can lift herself up on her arms
and focus on distant objects. Many wonderful
expressions are present
at this stage, and when may even be capable of sitting up by herself for
short
periods of time.
NINE MONTHS is the "perfect
baby" age. At this stage they can easily sit up by themselves or
stand
with assistance; and are very open and expressive. Giggles and smiles
are frequent in response
to almost anyone talking to them. When a
parent tells us over the phone that their child "just loves"
having
his picture taken, we know they have a seven to ten month old.
ONE YEAR is the traditional time for a major baby portrait. A one
year old is walking, has full
speech comprehension, and is beginning
to talk. They also are frequently attached to a favorite
stuffed toy
or blanket, so consider having some done with it as a personal prop. We
like to feature a
"birthday party portrait" so bring in the cake and
we will supply the ballons! One year old children do
well in outside
pictures in our "little studio in the woods." The one year session is
the perfect time to
continue their photography with us by joining our
"Album Club."
THREE YEARS loves to be helpful, and so
this is a wonderful time to have a creative
Victorian or ourdoor wall
portrait done in a special sitting or using a variety of props. You
might even
involve your child in planning the portrait. You'll find
they have plenty of ideas! This is the perfect
age to take advantage
of out newest creations, "Classic Portraits" of children. We photograph
them in
black and white and then use artist oils to color certain
areas of the print.
SIX YEARS is the beginning of the
end of childhood, since their facial features are about to
be changed
forever when their front teeth are replaced in the coming year. It can
happen very fast, so
be sure not to miss it!
TEN
YEARS is the doorstep to puberty. It will be the last time to have a
portrait of their
childhood as they enter the teenage years. Once
again, dramatic changes happen almost overnight
(in both girls and
boys) so be sure not to put it off too long!
