What Parents need to know

Children should wear something that they are comfortable in. Try avoiding anything with logos, characters, or large printed patterns as these things can be visually distracting and take focus away from your child’s expressions.

Is there a Deadline to Order?
After you receive the viewing/purchasing link, you’ll have two weeks to place your order. Once the gallery closes the images will no longer be available for purchase.
What if my child doesn’t want to Smile?
Not every child is ready to smile upon request. I do my best to cheerfully match their energy and be playful. Sometimes, I’ll try to pull in a friend or ask a favorite teacher to try to get a smile. But sometimes a gaze into the camera can make just a great a memory as a smiling one and I love those too.
I provide an average of three photos for parents to choose from instead of just one, which allows for children to show a little more of their personalities.
Letter to Parents
Hi, my name is Marisa! I’ve been photographing kids for more than a decade - before I even had kids of my own! I fell in love with photographing kids during my work as an infant/toddler teacher. As a full-time caregiver, I got to see a lot of children's firsts - first crawling, first walking, first words, etc. It was part of my job to take photos and document what parents weren't able to see while their kids were with us during the day. I spent lots of my day with a camera in-hand, and I really can't begin to tell you how important photography is in documenting children’s lives in moments that would never come again.
