Simply Me: The Portrait Experience That Builds Confidence for a Lifetime

In a world of filters, edits, and endless comparison, there’s something revolutionary about letting a child just be… themselves.

That’s what Simply Me is all about.

This limited-edition portrait campaign is designed to capture your child’s spirit—not a Pinterest version of them, not a polished image of who they “should” be—but their real, radiant self. Laughing. Curious. Thoughtful. Joyful.

Just them.

Because this moment in their life will pass before you know it. And what remains are the images that preserve who they were—and how deeply they were loved.

Why It Matters (More Than You Think)

According to Dr. David Krauss and other psychologists, it is important to show a family as a family unit. It is vital for the self-esteem of children to see themselves as valued and important members of their families.

Studies emphasize that when children see themselves on the walls at home, they internalize a message that says:

“You are loved. You belong here. You matter.”

Portraits aren’t just decorative—they’re psychological anchors.

And that’s what Simply Me is all about.

What Is the Simply Me Experience?

Simply Me is a guided, limited-time portrait experience that highlights your child’s personality in the most timeless way possible.

✔ No props

✔ No pressure

✔ No forced smiles

✔ Just your child, authentically lit and beautifully photographed

Each session is crafted for children 5-8 years old (or a bold 3-4 year old with big personality!) to bring out who your child truly is—and to preserve that essence in heirloom-quality artwork designed to last.

Can We Do Family Photos Too?

Absolutely!

In fact, a Simply Me session is the perfect moment to update your full family portraits.

This is an ideal entry point if you’ve been putting off a session or haven’t had professional photos taken since your youngest was in diapers. We can plan a family session alongside—or following—your Simply Me appointment, tailored to suit your family’s pace and energy.

I’ll guide you through every step—from styling and wardrobe to wall art design and final installation.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Reserve Your Spot

This is a limited-edition campaign with only 15 sessions available in June and July. Once those are filled, they’re gone.

One More Thing...

Imagine your child walking past their portrait on the wall every day and knowing—deep in their bones—

“That’s me. I’m loved. I’m home.”

That’s the message you’re giving them when you choose legacy portraiture over forgettable phone snaps.

That’s the heart behind Simply Me.

Let’s give your child that story.
And let’s create artwork that will tell it—long after they’ve grown.
