Ben's Process
Upon booking we will schedule a phone call, video call, or studio visit to meet and discuss ideas for your child’s photography experience. We have some vintage wardrobe and props available here at the studio, but we also encourage you to bring at least (3) different wardrobe choices for your child.

“My goal is to capture the essence of who your child is. I use a state-of-the-art medium format high resolution digital camera that captures incredible detail and clarity coupled with beautiful painterly lighting. Some parents have had tears in their eyes when they see their children portrayed in this way. After our session we will schedule a time for you to come back to view the final images and make your choices for creating a beautiful fine art piece.”
