 What beautiful babies.  Laake Portrait Gallery was privileged to work with these siblings. These 3month old twins were so cuddly we wanted to just eat them up.

Great Natural Portraits of Children,

do not just Happen. 

 

 

Madison and twins Chase and Brook  

This portrait session was scheduled to happen at the beach in Clearwater FL.  Jennifer Aldrich, a wonderful and talented artist, and I worked together on this sitting.  When we got to the beach it was way too windy for a photo shoot.  So, "plan B" got implemented.  The Portrait Session is only the beginning. The timeless artistic results are created during AND after the photo shoot.  Interacting with your children, letting them be themselves and taking hundreds of shots is the start.  With input from you - the client, my vision as the artist and the creative visionary editing of the images is a team effort.  Joshua Powell did his magic on these to create great natural memories --Pure Magic.

Bring me your tired Dads, your frustrated Moms & your FREE  SPIRITED Kids.  

 We’ll show you how easy and fun a real portrait session is.
