Children Photography

M

any psychologists who specialize in early childhood development believe that children who see their own images displayed throughout the home grow up with a feeling of well-being and self-confidence. Portraits on display, they agree, serve to make a child feel loved and valued. And when mom and dad and even grandparents appear in the portrait, the child is reminded of the meaningful place he or she enjoys within the family.

What better way to demonstrate how you feel about your child than to decorate your home with portraits made at important milestones in his or her life!

 
 

Planning Your Child’s Portrait History
The milestones of childhood can never be repeated. But, they can be captured in portraits that tell the story of a child’s growing up…as he or she passes through a series of stages…moving ever closer to adulthood.

Yet, for many families, the important milestones of their children’s history are marked only by hastily purchased “record photographs” that are filed away in a frame behind the most recent photo, lie forgotten in a drawer or simply fade away.

Someday, the child you hold now will want to tell your grandchild what it was like when he or she was growing up. Imagine how wonderful it would be to have a beautiful album of priceless images of that childhood to pass down to future generations.

The First Age Of Childhood

LAt no time in your child’s life will physical changes occur so rapidly. In what seems like the blink of an eye, a tiny, helpless bundle is transformed into an active, robust and inquisitive youngster. When photographed with one or more parents or siblings, a portrait at this age will capture forever that fleeting time when family members are the center of your baby’s intimate world.
Plan to visit Lasting Impressions by Dave at least three times during your baby’s first year.

At Six Months…babies are so loveable! Cuddly and responsive, yet still dependent. Strengthened muscles let them sit up and take part in the world around them. Often happy-go-lucky, they crave attention and delight in having an audience. Portraits at this age are a perfect time to reveal chubby little arms and legs and even backsides!

At Nine Months…Many babies begin to strike out on their own. Still dependent on their parents, but starting to explore an ever-expanding world…well on the way to becoming a real little persona and letting everyone know… “You won’t hold on to me for long!”

One Year…The permanent facial characteristics begin to reveal a family likeness and individual character…still a baby, yet emerging as a robust and inquisitive child who is ready to meet the world. For the child who is now walking, the perfect message of the portrait is “I’m free!”

 

Age 2

Lround the second birthday, a major milestone is achieved.
The toddler now responds to reason, humor, and action. Totally unpredictable, but always adorable…expect them to be loveable, shy, rowdy, or reserved as they begin to explore the world around them…here one minute and gone the next!

 
 

 

Age 3

Still toddlers, most three-year-olds have discovered how to entertain themselves.
The world of toddlers is filled with portrait opportunities that capture the mystery and fantasy that are so much a part of these joyful days of discovery and make-believe that fade so soon.

Age 4-5

One of the cutest, most engaging ages for little boys and girls, the ability to speak and reason grow stronger every day.
Searching for their place in the world, they have already developed personal interests, likes and dislikes. Their individuality of character and action should be portrayed before the baby teeth are lost and replaced by permanent ones…forever altering the endearing look of early childhood. Just as the six-month portrait captures the essence of babyhood, a wall portrait made at this age displays forever the engaging charm of childhood.

 

 

 

Age 6 to 8

During this period, the snagging tooth age ends and permanent teeth emerge to change the facial contours.
A developing mind reveals a more mature, inquiring look. Now off to school and making their way in the world…There is so much to learn! Portraits made at this age help to confirm a child’s positive self image.

Age 9 to 12

As the child prepares to enter the teenage years, physical, emotional, and attitude changes occur.
The little person you have known so well is about to become a more complex a less dependent young person. Peer acceptance is now important, and portraits can capture the child’s sense of style and expanding horizons.

Age 13 to 15

The early teenage years – a kind of dress rehearsal for adulthood – have begun to erase the memories of childhood.  At this age  maturity kicks in and the big changes hapen in terms of growth.
