My favorite parenting quote is “the days are long but the years are short.” As a mom of three, I know how it feels to blink and a year has passed. The kids grew so quickly that before you know it, your baby is getting on the bus for his first day of school. Soon all you can do is reminisce over abandoned toys, macaroni ornaments, and photographs. By booking a photo session with Katie Smith, a family photographer in Mebane NC, you preserve the fun, the love, and the memories that you treasure long after the children have outgrown their blankies and favorite stuffed animals.
Family bonding time
When you choose a location your family loves, the photo session becomes a fun family outing. Your family might feel at home walking the streets of downtown or getting back to nature at one of our local parks. Full length portrait sessions are an hour and a half long to give plenty of time for cuddles, piggyback rides, or skipping rocks on the river. With eight years experience in photographing families, I know that kid sessions require fun, creativity, patience, and maybe a lollipop or two.
Family Photographer in Mebane captures real smiles, bear hugs, and perfectly posed portraits
My style is a relaxed posing that easily transitions into natural moments that keep kids smiling and Mom looking great. Between picture perfect poses, I’ll capture the candid moments full of the personalities that you love.
Families like yours
A great family portrait captures the true essence of your family. I take great care to customize poses and sessions to reflect genuine personalities and relationships. Whether you have toddlers or teenagers, wild child or wallflower, your child will be the star of the show and free to express themselves.
I’ve had the privilege of photographing children with Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy and ADHD. I love working with children and adults of all abilities. If your child requires special considerations such as wheelchair-accessibility or sensory friendly environment, please let me know.
Moms-to-be should book maternity portraits for 32-36 weeks of pregnancy. You’ll be filling out those maternity tops beautifully while still having the energy to create a variety of poses. Feel free to book the session just for yourself or as a couple/family portrait session!
Babies are best photographed in the first two weeks as newborns. After the newborn stage, milestones make fun portraits. Unassisted sitting, standing, and walking are great milestones to capture. If you’re already teary-eyed from the thought of how fast baby will grow, contact me about a “Baby’s First Year” plan that includes four mini sessions to document these precious memories.
