Imagine this: I have this great professional photograph I took of my children, Alex, Joel & Claire. I call it "My Perfect Portrait" because it really captures their personalities. This image was taken over 10 years ago.There's so much heart - so much emotion in this single image. That one photograph means so much to me, I can't even describe how I would feel if I were to lose it. What would a photograph like that of your child mean to you in 20 or 25 years? There's still time, but everyday, your child's smile changes a little.
Children's Photography
"How I Will Help You Tell The Story of Your Child Through Emotional, Sensitive Portraiture..."
There's Nothing Like Being A Parent or Grandparent. You'll Do Anything For Your Child or Grand Child. And When Your Child Smiles, It's The Most Wonderful Sight In The World...
I took this photograph of them when they were 4,6 & 8 years old, and I can still remember to this day exactly what that day was like.
This is My Perfect Portrait"
The Hirsch Children Summer
Beach Portrait.
It was so perfect. And that entire day - that entire moment in my children's life - is captured in their expression. More than any other photograph they have had taken so far, that photograph captured that innocent spirit that will always make me and my wife smile.
These Kinds Of Photographs Are Not Accidents. They Are Not Snapshots. And Yet They're Not "Posed" Or Unnatural In Any Way.
You know your child better than anyone else in the world. You know his or her "real" smile, and you know his or her "fake" smile. But, you know what? Other people can tell the difference too. We all can. You've seen photographs where you could tell the photographer just posed the child and said "say cheese!" The lighting may have been good. The background might have been nice. But that fake expression that happens when a child is PROMPTED to smile - that just makes the photograph look like a snapshot instead of a special captured moment in your child's life.
Imagine How Wonderful Your Child's Expression Will Be When The Photographer Has Become Your Child's FRIEND.
Children are very smart. They don't just blindly trust anyone. And they NEVER show their true expressions to someone they don't know and trust. That's why my children's expression in the "My Perfect Portrait" photograph was so natural. They knew me, and therefore they were able to totally be themselves. Ever since I took that photograph of my children, I've worked very hard to be able to capture those same priceless expressions in other children.
That's What Makes All The Difference! The Perfect Portrait of Your Child Is Priceless - And It's ONLY Possible If The Photographer Understands How To Work With Your Child To Bring Out Those Natural Expressions.
Nothing means more to me than family. No one (other than maybe the rest of your family) understands what your child means to you more than I do. That's one of the reasons I became a professional photographer - I want to help parents hold on to their family memories forever, and never regret not having a special photograph of their child created.
I Have A Family Of My Own, And I Swore I Would Be Sure To Capture The Memories Of My Family Through Fine Portraiture.
My wife Linda started a Special Portrait album of each of our children. At least twice a year I would photograph my children, so you can imagine the portrait history of my children. Sometimes Linda had to make an appointment for them just like regular clients, just so we would remember to photograph them. If you decide to have me create your portraits - great. If not, no problem. The 6 Important Things To Look For In Your Child's Photographer: #1 Thing Your Photographer MUST DO: CHECK THIS OUT - A Guarantee Unlike Any You've Ever Heard:"If Your Child Doesn't Look The Happiest & Best They Have Ever Looked In These Photographs - You Don't Pay Me For Them." These photographs will be completely meaningless to you unless they convey the real emotions and relationships between you and your loved ones. That's the only real reason to have your child's portrait created. This is such an important point - for so many reasons! First of all, as I mentioned earlier, one of the biggest challenges for a photographer is making your child feel totally comfortable, by getting totally natural and fun expressions. Now, this is something I can guarantee no other photographer does. This is a great way to make him or her totally comfortable - and to ensure they have fun. You see, I have this wonderful, big, fluffy, colorful ball, and I play catch with the kids for the first 10 minutes of the session. If they are a little shy the mom or dad will play catch with me. Once they see mom and dad are "Friends of Mine" the child relaxes and starts playing with us as well. You should see a child's eyes light up when we play keep away from mom or dad, they think that is so much fun and it is. If I don't end up being your photographer, make ABSOLUTELY SURE your photographer does something special to ensure your child will have fun and give you great expressions! "There's No Rush To Have A Portrait Of Your Child Created Right Now." Before we continue with the 6 THINGS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER MUST DO, let's talk about this for a moment. So many people think they have all the time in the world to have a portrait of their child created. But, you know how things are. If you don't pick up the phone right now, and at least call me to talk about your child's portrait, you will probably get swamped with other things, and forget all about it. Then, before you know it, a year - two years - five years have gone by. How different will your son or daughter be by then? You see, time is ticking.... and it's never going to stop. First, Your Child Takes His or Her First Step. Next, Learns To Ride A Bike. Later, Gets A Driver's License. Graduates From High School. Gets Married. Starts A Family Of His or Her Own. These are precious times, and although things will change, don't let this moment slip from your fingers. Don't put this off. You know how life is. We put things off, and before we know it, everything has changed. If your life is half as crazy as mine is, year after year you find yourself frustrated at the things you wanted to do, and never got done. A portrait of your child - as he or she is right now - is something you deserve. Plus, You Will Save 50% By Acting Right Now! Just suppose you call my studio and talk with me. Just suppose you decide you would like me to be your child's photographer, I will deduct 50% off the creation of your child's portraits - NO MATTER WHEN YOU DECIDE TO HAVE THE PORTRAITS TAKEN WITH ME!

Pick up the phone, and call my studio. 877-576-0909 #5 Thing Your Photographer MUST DO: This is a biggie. Most photographers are trying to crank so many sessions through in a day, they only have a short amount of time to photograph each subject. Did you know that the average child photographer spends ONLY 12.5 MINUTES photographing a child?! That's insane! Now, it may not take the whole hour to photograph your child. However, I ALWAYS set aside at least one hour for every child session I book. I've done some sessions that only took about 20 minutes or so to get a number of stunning images, but the point is - it's vital to leave that much time open. Don't let your photographer rush through this. Remember, these are your memories, and it's up to you to make sure your photographer realizes his or her responsibility to you and your child. #6 Thing Your Photographer MUST DO: I love this part. You see, this is a two-fold benefit here. It's going to make your child so much more comfortable, and at the same time, it's going to add yet another level of personalization to the final photographs. As you know, children love familiarity. Nothing can calm them down like that "security blanket" they love to haul around the house, my son called his "My Blue Blue" or that special beat-up raggedy old stuffed animal that Grandma gave them on their first birthday, or that cherished family pet that is like their best friend. Why Your Child's Portrait Will Become More Valuable To You Than Anything Else In Your Home: Do you have a photograph of your child that, if you were running from your burning home, would be the one thing you save (other than your family members, of course) on the way out? I only ask that because I actually had a client whose house was burning, and on her way out she actually grabbed her "Hirsch Studio Portraits" of her grandchildren that I'd created for her! Can you believe that? That's how important those photographs are to her.Do you have a photograph of your child that means that much to you? Just Call My Studio, And We'll Talk.

Make Sure That Your Photographer GUARANTEES You Will Love Your Child's Portraits.

#2 Thing Your Photographer MUST DO:
Meet Your Child, And Become His Or Her Friend -
No child is going to look natural and vibrant if they don't know and trust the photographer. That is just a plain FACT. Plus, besides making the photographs turn out so much better, think of how much more fun your child is going to have during the session if the photographer has become his or her friend! There's absolutely NO REASON why your child shouldn't enjoy having these portraits created.
#3 Thing Your Photographer MUST DO:
Your Photographer Should Help You Determine Which LOCATION Would Work Best For Your Style Of Portrait.
Where are children the most comfortable? Usually outdoors. Thats why I have built a beautiful portrait garden. We have an old English Cottage, a Classic Swing and Stone Paths that lead to our creek. Along with a Gazebo with lush colorful flowers everywhere. You can also choose from our classic studio, a park or the beach. The choice is yours. Not only will your son or daughter have more fun being photographed this way, but it will also be a much more personal and unique setting.

Make Your Child Feel Totally Comfortable By Using A Favorite Stuffed Animal, Pet, or Toy.
Imagine the wonderful photographs that will come from allowing your child to play with something that is so special to him or her. Some of the most emotional and memorable portraits I've ever created involved a child playing with a toy or a pet. We've all seen children almost seem to "slip into another world" when they play with certain things. Those are the moments I live for, and those are the moments I'm going to capture for you.
You don't have to make a big decision right now. You don't have to choose your photographer - you don't even have to decide that now is the time for your child's portrait. Just take one small step toward holding onto your child's happiest moments RIGHT NOW.
