Baby milestone client closet for Tina Krafts Photography | Washington D.C. baby photographer

BABY MILESTONE CLIENT CLOSET

 

Did you know that, in addition to photographing newborns in their first few weeks of life, I additionally offer baby portrait sessions for babies of all ages, and that I also have a carefully curated baby milestone client closet that is available for my clients’ use?  On that note,  I have finally had an opportunity to photograph most of my baby milestone client closet, so if you would like to see all of the adorable offerings for your little ones, you can click here, or go to the “Details” tab on my website homepage.  Trust me,  you should go check it out – there are so many darling little outfits (because, honestly, I’m a bit *too* obsessed with buying cute baby clothes)!  These are just a few examples of some of the pieces I have procured from boutiques and vendors all over the world.

As you will see in the milestone wardrobe gallery, my collection includes both neutral tones and a plethora of colors, and I have an equal number of backdrops to match.  And, as my baby milestone portrait sessions are approximately an hour in length, clients are not limited to a single outfit or color choice for their portraits, allowing for a significant variety of images.  And, just as with my newborn portrait sessions, I customize baby portrait sessions to reflect my clients’ vision, preferences, and specific requests.  Thus, portraits can be as simple as your little one on a solid color backdrop, emphasizing purely baby, such as in these images.

Or sessions might include seasonal elements or themes that reflect baby’s or parents’ personal interests.  (See sample images below.) I also often incorporate props, blankets, or toys that are meaningful to my little clients or their families.  Regardless of whether a milestone session includes a simple backdrop or a more elaborate theme, or whether the session includes zero or 20 props and accessories,  however, my primary objective in a baby portrait session is to capture those newly developing and precious baby expressions and skills.  Babies grow and change SO fast in their first year of life. Their impossibly tiny fingers and toes get bigger, their hair grows, and their first tiny teeth make an appearance.

Photographing milestones allows us to create a visual record of your baby’s growth and development, while simultaneously capturing his or her unique personality. Milestone sessions document the essence of who your baby is at different stages— his or her quirky expressions, curious gazes, and joyful reactions, a representation of your child’s unique character and spirit.

    Hi all!
Limited opportunity for a D.C.-area family with a newborn. Please share if you know someone who might be interested!
    Exciting news!!
Did you know that, in addition to my extensive collection of newborn and baby outfits, I now offer a selection of beautiful dresses (both women’s and girls’) that are available for use during newborn and Mommy & Me sessions? 
(As always, I additionally provide styling and wardrobe assistance for all members of the family.) 
I know that it can feel overwhelming to choose the perfect outfits for your portrait session (particularly after the arrival of a new baby!). My curated wardrobe of flattering, camera-friendly pieces will help ensure that you look and feel your best, while simultaneously minimizing any stress and time commitment associated with preparing for your session. 

I am always looking for ways to simplify the portrait session experience for my clients, and I will be sharing even more details soon!

    It’s Fall, it’s Fall!! 🍁🍂
Well, maybe not officially, but the weather has been cooler and amazing, football is back, and pumpkin spice is everywhere, so I am declaring it Fall. Who is with me?

    So I did a little experiment…
As you all know, I am a big proponent of printing your images, rather than having them live on a computer or phone…those beautiful photos of the most precious people in your lives deserve to be displayed and appreciated in your home! 
The two principal reasons that I offer fine art prints (including matted and custom framed prints) for purchase by my clients are (1) convenience for my clients, and (2) QUALITY.
The professional labs that I use for printing utilize color calibration profiles and the highest quality papers and inks that are designed for durability and longevity. 
Out of curiosity, I printed the same image at my professional lab, and also at Walgreens and CVS. 
Top print: CVS
Middle print: my professional lab
Bottom print: Walgreens
Apart from physical properties of the prints themselves (my lab’s fine art prints are printed on thick, 100% cotton paper), you can see that there is a pretty significant color/brightness disparity in the photos. The top print is rather dark, and the skin tones have an orange hue; the bottom print has overall gray/green tones. 
What do you all think?  Would you like to see a  print comparison with another image?

    It’s been a little quiet on my page for the last week or so…we took our first-born back to college (hugs to all you mamas sending your babies off to school, particularly to kindergarten or freshman year of college!), and then spent some wonderful time up north with family and friends.
But now it’s back to work, and I’m gearing up for all the Fall/Winter sessions!  My openings in the Fall get snatched up pretty quickly, so don’t hesitate to get in touch if you would like to schedule a session!
