Child Portrait photographer in Prince George, BC presents:


Special Moments Captured with a child portraiture session; Why are these types of sessions important outside your regular, annual family photoshoot?


Welcome to The Free West Photography Blog! We are so excited you're here!


We are here to talk about the fun and precious moments during a child portraiture session with us. As candid, organic family photographers, we wanted to touch on the importance of portraiture! We will also go over what we do within a child portraiture session & the importance of print!


As child portrait photographer, we understand the importance of capturing your child's unique personality, features, and expressions. Our goal is to create portraits that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.

At Free West Photography, we believe that child portraiture is not just about capturing a beautiful image. It's about creating a fun and memorable experience that your child will enjoy and remember for years to come. This applies to you, your children, their siblings and sharing with extended family members. We love working with children, and we believe that the best way to create stunning portraits is to make the session enjoyable for them.


This enjoyment comes from 3 main aspects:

1) having people there that makes them happy and bring out their personality. Safe people, whom they can really be their silly selves with!

2) photographers that have an eye for capturing your children within their candid moments

3) bringing items and a plan forth together (photographer(s) and parents) to capture their current interests and favorite parts of their personalities! (more on this below).



When you book a child portraiture session with us, we will work with you to create a personalized experience that reflects your child's interests and personality. We want your child to feel comfortable and happy during the session, which is why we take the time to get to know more about them before shooting. We like to talk to our clients and plan/ get a feel for the child's interests and personality.

During the session, we will encourage your child to be themselves and have fun. We may ask them to play games, sing songs, or tell us stories to help them relax and feel at ease. By creating a relaxed and playful environment, we can capture natural and authentic expressions that reflect your child's true personality. We also may ask parents and siblings to play to bring them out of their metaphorical 'shell'.

Our child portraiture sessions are designed to be stress-free for parents too. We take care of all the details, from setting up the perfect location in Prince George, to providing guides for outfits and props you may need to bring to capture your child's current interests.

One of the most fun aspects of child portraiture is the opportunity to be creative. It takes an eye for candid details to capture moments in between the prompts and understand the personalities. This type of intuition comes from years experience shooting family photography with kids of all ages. Whether your child loves sports, music, art, or animals, we can incorporate their passions into the session to create a one-of-a-kind portrait that you will treasure forever. We do not want to only focus on prompts, but also to focus on candid play, which looks different at different age levels.

Another exciting aspect of child portraiture is the chance to document your child's growth and development. Children grow like weeds, and it's easy to forget just how small they were when they were babies. Memories fade, this is an unfortunate reality of the human brain, we can remember moments, but visually it can be blurry or unclear; By capturing their milestones and personality in portraits, you can create a beautiful record of their childhood that you can look back on for years to come.


At Free West Photography, we understand that child portraiture is a precious investment that you will cherish for a lifetime. That's why we are committed to creating stunning portraits that you and your family will love. Our portraits are not just photographs, but works of art that will become treasured family heirlooms.
