Introducing My Favorite Things ~ Michigan Child Photographer

Posted by & filed under Nest Vintage.

I am so pleased to be able to share a new type of session that has been bouncing around in my head for a bit now.  My Favorite Things.  My Favorite Things sessions are for children ages 4 to 14 and are designed to capture a very special time in children’s lives.  It is during this time that children are really starting to develop who they are.  They have favorite subjects or activities that they go to over and over.  I want to help you preserve this time in your child’s life.  To catch a moment of them and preserve it to look on later and remember.  When my children grow up and become whatever and whoever they are going to be I would love to be able to look back and see how their childhood favorites shaped what they became.  I hope that you would too:)

Favorite Things Sessions will be offered in two packages.  Both packages will include the session, a pre-session consult to talk about your child and the vision for their shoot, full styling to really bring to life their favorite thing, full artistic editing and products.

A full MFT session will include the above, up to 2 hours of shooting, an 8X8 20 page album and a wall print of your choice. 

A mini MFT session will include the above, up to an hour of shooting, a mini album and the gift print of your choice.

**Please contact me for pricing.

I really hope that you all love this idea as much as I do♥
