Tips for bringing out personality:

NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR IMAGES WHEN YOU GET THEM?

Once the excitement subsides, the moment arrives to unveil the captured images. It's a departure from gazing in the mirror, where flaws often take center stage. A portrait is a revelation of what makes an individual distinct, an authentic showcase of their uniqueness and originality. It genuinely reflects them by capturing the spectrum of emotions in a beautifully expressive way. As discussed in this article by The Bump, fostering confidence begins early in life - explore more here.

These images become cherished keepsakes, a tangible reminder of their essence. Knowing and hearing the admiration for who they are as individuals fosters a profound sense of confidence. It empowers them to stay true to themselves, embrace your values, and make informed decisions.

Check out some additional ways to build self confidence.

  • You will be getting an online gallery with options to purchase beautiful prints, products, canvases, frames, and more! All from a reputable professional print lab.

  • Print your high-resolution images to poster size! Then pick a poster sized frame. Michael's or Hobby Lobby will have something reasonably priced. Any poster sized (24x36) frame should do!

  • One website that does an amazing job printing these life sized prints is Smallwoods Home! You gotta get these images on your wall!

  • Make individual photo books! Currently my session includes 2 digital images when you book; however, the gallery will usually has more that you can purchase in addition.  If you end up purchasing the whole gallery, you could easily create a mini flip book for each child. This is a completely unique way to display the whole gallery in a cost-effective way. Artifact Uprising mini-books are perfect and would make a great keepsake to make every year!

  • No space for life sized prints? Consider a gallery wall! If you only have one child, you can display their different facial expressions. A family with multiple children can make a fun grid of all the faces that make up your family.

  • Explore the ideal opportunity to gather "gifts for_______" content during these personality portrait mini sessions! Delight Grandma with a graceful smiling portrait or bring a chuckle to Dad with socks featuring your kiddo's face - personality portraits are the solution! Walk away with the perfect content for gifts that will bring joy to every family member.
  • Comfort is Key: Opt for comfortable clothing that your child loves and feels good in. Uncomfortable clothing can affect their mood.

  • Avoid Overly Matched Outfits: While some coordination is great, avoid overly matched outfits with siblings. Let each family member showcase their individual style.

  • Consider the Location:  Think about the white backdrop of the session. Even though the images will be provided in black and white, bolder colors might stand out more.

  • Layers and Accessories: Consider adding layers or accessories for a more dynamic look. A hat, a scarf, or a cute jacket or sweater can add a playful touch.



  • Explore Interests: Take note of your child's current interests, hobbies, or favorite activities. This could be a favorite toy, book, or anything that reflects their personality. 

  • Discuss Expectations: Talk to your child about the upcoming session. Share the excitement and discuss how it's an opportunity to capture their unique self. Ensure they know it's meant to be fun and enjoyable.

  • Choose the Right Time: Schedule the session during a time when our child is usually most active and happy. Be mindful of the times that are available and be sure to have them take a nap prior and have a snack.



  • Favorite Toys or Props: Bring along a few of your child's favorite toys or props. This can provide comfort and bring out genuine expressions.

  • Snacks and Water: Pack some of your child's favorite snacks and water. A well-fed and hydrated child is more likely to be cooperative and energetic.

  • Capturing Candid Moments: Candid moments often capture the true essence of your child's personality. Let them play, laugh, and be themselves.

  • Positive Reinforcement: Offer positive reinforcement. Praise your child during the session, highlighting their uniqueness, This boosts confidence and helps create a positive experience.

  • Relax and be Yourself: Encourage your child to relax and be themselves. Genuine expressions and moments are what make personality portraits special.
