What to Expect: Personality Portraits | Northern Virginia Family Photographer

We’ve all been there: school picture day rolls around, and we feel that familiar pressure to get the perfect shot. You know the routine—forced smiles, mismatched outfits, and kids who would rather be anywhere else. But what if I told you that school picture day doesn’t have to be a chore?

If you are you looking for a fun alternative to traditional school pictures, our Personality Portrait sessions are designed to capture your child’s true spirit in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.

Here’s everything you need to know about what to expect during your session!

Quick and Fun Sessions

Each session lasts just 5 minutes, making it perfect for little ones with busy schedules or short attention spans. This quick timeframe ensures that your child stays engaged and has fun, resulting in natural, candid photos.

Your Choice of Outfit

One of the best parts about our Personality Portraits is that your child gets to choose their outfit! Whether they want to rock their favorite superhero cape or wear something mismatched, we celebrate their individuality. This freedom allows them to feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Bring Their Favorite Things

We encourage your child to bring along their favorite toys, stuffies, or comfort items. Whether it’s a beloved blanket or a cherished action figure, these items can help make them feel at ease and add a personal touch to the portraits.

High-Quality Images

After the session, you’ll receive 3 high-res, hand-edited digital images that beautifully capture your child’s personality. These images are perfect for sharing with family, displaying at home, or even creating unique gifts!

Age Requirements

Please note that our Personality Portrait sessions are exclusively for kids aged 15 months and older. This ensures that we can capture those joyful expressions and playful moments that make these sessions so special.

A Stress-Free Experience

With no pressure to pose perfectly or adhere to formalities, the focus is on having fun. I’ll guide your child through the session, encouraging them to goof off and be themselves. The result? Authentic, heartwarming images that reflect who they truly are.

While traditional portraits certainly have their place, the candid snapshots that showcase your child’s genuine spirit will become treasured keepsakes over time. So, why not embrace the fun and create lasting memories?
