Personality Portraits will make the perfect gallery inside of your home. Amazing Mother's Day gifts!

Children seem to magically grow in the blink of an eye. First, you have a tiny little baby in your arms and then, overnight, they grow into these curious little toddlers who can do everything on their own. Then they grow a little bit more, into hilarious little humans making you laugh at their every move, every facial expression, every word. Try your best not to blink, because before you know it, they've grown into tiny little adults (I say adults lightly - more like they THINK they are small adults) - and then all of a sudden they have SO MANY new facial expressions. And then, they really are adults. How did that happen? Where did all that time go? Do you still remember all those facial expressions that grew with them as a part of their personality? Do you remember how their sweet little faces looked laughing so hard at that -not so funny after the 100th time- joke they told you? These Personality Portraits are absolutely beautiful and the perfect way to preserve the memories of your sweet, sweet babies as they grow through life.

Tip #1 - THESE NEED TO BE PRINTED

I'm a firm believer in photo prints and products. I offer both professionally printed photographs and products through each client gallery. The prints and products I offer are printed through a professional print lab that specializes in perfecting every tiny detail and every pixel of color. These Personality Portraits will make an exquisite addition to any home wall gallery, every desk photo frame, and even in a portrait photo box to hand down years to come.

Tip #2 - Prints of these Personality Portraits make perfect gifts!

Whether you are wanting to gift to yourself these special memories of your child or you are looking for a Mother's Day gift, Father's Day gift, or Christmas gifts for the grandparents - Personality Portraits are the answer for you!

STEPS TO CREATING PERSONALITY PORTRAITS

Step #1 - Book a Personality Portrait Session with me.

These are studio-style sessions and are tons of fun. I’ll get a variety of images that show the true essence of your little one’s personality. As long as your little one likes to make silly faces, jump up and down, tell me jokes (and hear my terrible ones) we should be good. I will also try to grab some photos of Mom & kids, Dad & kids, siblings together - if desired (everyone will just have to squeeze tight together - for some more laughs and smiles).

Step #2 - Receive a Quick Preparation Guide for your session.

After you book your Personality Portrait Session, I will email you a Quick Preparation Guide covering what to wear, tips for a successful session, and session details.

Step #3 - Check out your Online Gallery.

After editing and finalizing your portraits, I will upload them to a private, personalized gallery and send you the link. Here, you will be able to download two different sized albums - images sized for prints, and images sized for social media. A print store is available within your online gallery for you to purchase any additional prints or products.

Step #4 - Choose Your Prints!

I try to make this part as easy as possible for you! Within your personalized gallery, there is a store. You choose which images you want printed, and the size/type of prints you'd like. All additional prints and products are purchased through your gallery link. I will look over your selection and then send them off to the professional print lab. The photo prints and products will be delivered to me so I can make sure everything in your order is correct. You can then pick up your order from IEP Studio in Christiansburg, Virginia. If you have any questions through this process, I am here to help! Photographs are meant to be printed and treasured for years to come!
