big personality portraits
THIS ISN’T A MINI SESSION.
It’s a curated portrait experience designed to give you images that feel honest, meaningful, and instantly familiar.
If you’ve ever looked at your child and thought, “I don’t want to forget this version of them,” this is for you.
Childhood is fleeting—but personality leaves a lasting impression.
Big Personality sessions are designed to capture your child exactly as they are right now: the smirks, the silliness, the quiet confidence, the wild joy. These are black and white personality portraits for kids that focus less on perfect smiles and more on who they truly are.
Based in Middle Tennessee, I create timeless children’s portraits that feel natural, expressive, and emotionally honest—images you’ll treasure long after this season has passed.
what makes these sessions special?

Designed with kids in mind, sessions are just long enough to feel fun and successful without overwhelming.

Why Black & White Portraits for Kids?
Black and white photography is timeless for a reason. It highlights emotion, expression, and connection—without trends or distractions.
Parents love black and white portraits because they:
- Never feel dated
- Look beautiful in any home
- Focus on emotion over outfits
- Feel heirloom-worthy
These are the portraits you’ll still love years from now.
What is the best age for Big Personality Portraits?
These sessions are ideal for children ages 3–12 who can sit independently and engage for a short period of time. Each session is designed to move quickly and naturally, making it perfect for kids with big personalities and short attention spans.
What should my child wear?
Simple is best. Solid colors, neutral tones, and minimal patterns photograph beautifully in black and white. I recommend avoiding large logos, busy graphics, and neon colors. Once you book, you’ll receive a quick styling guide to help you choose the perfect outfit.
what's included in my session?
Your Big Personality session includes:
-A guided in-studio portrait session
-Black and white editing
-A private online proof gallery
-Three fully retouched digital images from a gallery of 20 images with a print release

Do I Receive color images?
Big Personality sessions are intentionally photographed and edited in black and white to maintain a timeless, cohesive look and to highlight expression and emotion.
what is the confetti add on?
For the last five minutes of the session we will break out the confetti and some props. These images will be edited in color. Additional fee applies.
Do you offer prints, art and additional digitals?
Yes! Big Personality portraits are timeless and turning them into wall art is highly recommended. I can use software to show you how they will look on your walls as well.
