Do your kids love to dress up?  Let’s incorporate some fun in your session!  I have a set of red and blue capes and masks so we can transform your children into superheros!  What kid doesn’t like being a superhero for the day?!?  I can pick the perfect location (think Downtown Dayton) and we can let your children have fun!  Here are some photos from a session using my capes and masks!

High School Senior Boys. Sara Smile Photography South Dayton Ohio

High School Seniors are fun to photograph!  They all have a different idea of styling and how long they intend the session to take.  Some like to have several outfit changes and take a few hours…others prefer a mini session!  I can work with you and your high school senior to create a session that meets your needs!  We can choose a location (or multiple locations) that coordinate with your vision.  I can also take a formal yearbook photo in my studio.

Here are some examples of High School Senior boy photos I have taken!

Tips for your studio session:

1) Plan your clothing and let me know what colors you will be wearing.  I will select the perfect backgrounds for your session.

2) Bring along any props you might want to use.

3) Sit back and relax while we get some beautiful photos of your children.

Schedule a studio session and enjoy the results…here is an example of a studio session with siblings.

Color or Black & White? How do I choose? Sara Smile Photography Springboro Ohio Photographer

When it comes to choosing between editing a photo in color or black and white…how do I choose?  Well, a lot of it has to do with the shadows and “mood” of the photo.  If the light was dramatic and bold, I am likely to edit it in black and white to show off the drama of the lighting.

Sometimes, I choose to edit a photo in both color AND black & white to let you decide which you prefer!  Some of my clients have framed galleries in their homes and need black & white photos to compliment the rest of the gallery.

Black and white photos can be more “timeless” than color photos.  You notice the clothing and other possible distractions less when the the photo is black and white.  That said…there are times when the colors of the photo are what makes it spectacular!

If you ever want to see one of your photos in color and black and white, let me know and I would be glad to accommodate your request!  If I think that the particular photo won’t look as nice in black/white vs color, I’ll tell you and explain why.

Thank you for trusting me to preserve your most precious memories!
