Lifestyle newborn baby portraits - everyday life storytelling

Itty Bitty Baby Sessions

When studio|detro photographs your tiny new baby, our first and primary goal is to document baby's tender moments in comfort and saftey.  This is an unhurried, at home, natural interaction session.

Preschooler Sessions

We ask your preschooler to be themselves.  Show us their room, swing at the park, eat a snack and read a book with their parents.  We hang out and interact, making precious authentic images in the meanwhile.  We're often invited back for another playdate by our new little friends!

Big Kid Photography Sessions

Since big kids hold still on command, it's tempting to use that trick the whole session.  But that's not documenting our clients' true personalities.  So we "do something" in our big kid sessions - because our clients have a lot of personality to capture!

more about the studio|detro methodology

Skip posed portraits ... make images that show you being you. Photographs are fun again!

We photograph centering on a story. We're recording content and interaction throughout our time together instead of posing and creating a mere record of who was there. We call our photography time "sessions" and not "sittings" - let's record you and your family doing and being!

Great photographs will happen! Look forward to the session - do not stress - when in doubt, bring extra clothes and a ton of ideas. We'll spend time laughing, relaxing and photographing! You will want to remember how much fun you've had.

We focus on beautiful storytelling. If you are looking for someone to enjoy, understand and capture your family members, you've found the right photographers.
