Gift Certificate for a Children's Photo Session from Photographer Alena Khailak

Features of the photo session depending on age:

For babies 3-5 months. A photo session of a slightly grown baby is carried out at the age of 3-5 months. This is the ideal age to shoot if you have already missed the 14 days neonatal period. At this age, the baby usually stops colic, but the period of wakefulness increases, which allows you to take many emotional and smiling shots. For a variety of pictures, the photographer uses the same props as for newborns, only a little larger - suits for larger children, a basket, a nest, artificial flowers, fabric or vinyl backgrounds, cute toys.
If you prefer real shots with parents, and not in baskets, this photo shoot can be done in the style of «Life Style». The photographer comes home to the baby at the agreed time. The shooting room requires a high air temperature (25-27 degrees) and free space under the window (about 2x2 meters). The photographer places the background on the floor and after that puts the baby in a basket on the back, the child should be full and awake (for this the photographer arrives at a time convenient for the baby - just awake). At the end of the shooting, the baby may fall asleep, and the photographer will take several sleeping frames. This type of shooting does not imply specific posing, since the baby is no longer ready for this.

For babies 7-10 months old. A photo session for a baby up to a year is carried out at the age of 7-10 months. Photographers call these kids sitters. And all because the child already knows how to sit confidently (and the shooting is carried out precisely after acquiring this skill), but does not run away yet and the whole photo session is fun and easy. At this age, kids are very emotional and smiling, and the photographer is a masterful way of making them laugh. The photo session should be carried out between bedtime, preferably in the morning (while the baby is the most active and not tired), which allows you to make many beautiful and smiling frames. For a variety of pictures, the photographer uses props, as for newborns (buckets, baskets, cots), only now the baby does not lie in them, but sits. The costumes are for larger children, taking into account the growth of your baby. Artificial flowers, vinyl backgrounds, cute toys and other decor are also used.
If you prefer real shots with your parents, rather than in baskets, this photo shoot can be done in «Life Style» at your home or in a rented studio. The photographer comes home to the baby at the agreed time. The shooting room requires a high air temperature (24-26 degrees) and free space under the window (about 2x2 meters). The photographer places the background on the floor and after that puts the baby in the props, the child must be full and awake (for this, the photographer arrives at a time convenient for the baby - just awake).

For children aged 11 months - 4 years. For children aged 11 months to 4 years, a photo session is held in the «Cake smash» format. This is an alternative to the standard photo shoot, but much more emotional, both for the child himself and for his parents. «Cake smash» is complete freedom of action! And the task of the photographer is to catch the most emotional and enthusiastic shots of courage and eating delicacies. It is enough to choose a topic, time and place, and the photographer will help organize the rest. He will tell you the contacts of the cake masters, advise a studio that suits your theme, and select a convenient time for shooting.
If you want to shoot at home, the photographer will bring some outfits, a cake stand, a vinyl background, as well as some props from filming «Newbourne» (buckets, cribs, rugs, etc.). For more elegance, you can buy balloons and holiday banners-streamers. For a photo shoot in an apartment, you need free space under the window in a bright room (about 1.5 meters for the background itself and the distance for the photographer to take pictures is also about 2 meters). Be sure to send the photographer a photo of the conditions before ordering to clarify the possibility of shooting at home.
