I’m a BIG believer in keeping kids and parents happy and comfortable, which is the number one reason I became a children’s photographer.  When you book a session with me, I can promise that I’ll do everything in my power to make the session relaxing and laid back.  I understand children, and I want  the portrait session to be a positive, memorable experience for you and your child, so I work REALLY hard at keeping sessions peaceful and fun. 

I want to capture beautiful, classic (with a twist) portraits of your child, so the first thing I’ll do when I get to your home (or when you arrive to my studio) is talk to your child and gain his or her trust.  I won’t chase your child around with a camera….I’ll engage him or her in a game or a conversation.  THAT, my friends, is how I capture the natural expressions and smiles.    I like to think of a photo session with willette like a mini-therapy session/interview.  I’m really quite a  nosey person, so the entire time I’m photographing your child, I’m talking to him or her, asking questions even ….yep, even if she’s six months old.  My gift of gab pays off with the young ones!

So sit back, and allow me capture your child’s personality.  I understand the developmental stages of children, and I’ve worked with hundreds of children.  I think my background in art, education and English blend well together in this career…I LOVE what I do, and I’m told it shows when you see how I engage with your child and how I capture your child with the camera.

We also offer classic silhouette sessions once a month in our studio.  Email for details.

Please be sure to visit my blog and look through my portfolios to gain a better understanding of my style and to see if it’s what you’re looking for.  If it isn’t, I’m happy to refer you to another photographer who may be better able to match your needs. My primary clientele are currently from the West side of Norfolk, Virginia.  I limit my work load to 5 sessions a month, so I’m better able to focus my attention on you and your child and to give you the individual service you deserve.  I offer sessions weekday mornings.
