authentic Child Portrait
Treasured Pictures: Capturing the essence of childhood
Hi, welcome to Treasured Pictures, where moments of childhood magic come to life through the lens. As an award-winning child photographer, I am passionate about preserving the authentic and emotive moments that define childhood.
​
Authenticity in Every Frame
​
Whether it's a candid moment captured in natural light or a carefully composed portrait, each photograph is a testament to the genuine joy, wonder, and innocence of childhood. I love capturing genuine expression & gesture - hands, for instance, are so expressive! I believe in the power of storytelling, sometimes with the use of simple & quirky props, and I strive to create photographs that evoke emotion and nostalgia for years to come. My passion is black & white photography & ageless, vintage inspired color, often embracing a pastel palette or deepening the blacks in the image to create a dramatic, painterly contrast.
​
Celebrating Milestones
​
From the first steps to the toothless smiles, pristine white communion dresses & grass stained knees, every milestone is a heartfelt memory waiting to be captured. Over the years, I have had the honor of receiving recognition for my work in international competitions, including first, second, and third place awards in the Lifestyle category of the International Child Photo Competition, best of black & white child photography.
​
Beyond the Awards
​
While accolades are a testament to dedication and skills learned along the way, & the inevitable highs & lows of learning a creative craft, what truly matters is the connection forged with each family I have the privilege of photographing. It's about capturing the essence of childhood with a keen eye for detail—the laughter, the curiosity, the boundless imagination, and sometimes even the moody & downright challenging—in a way that feels honest and timeless.
