Classic and Romantic

Many parents appreciate portraits that reveal a sense of timelessness. The classic style of child photography has its roots in the paintings of the old masters. Drawing on the style of painters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, and others, the classic and romantic style of children’s portraiture can often be seen as an idealized version of childhood.

In the studio

When shooting in the studio, a classic portrait becomes a study of the child you are photographing. There are no distracting elements to take your attention away from the child, leaving only their expressions and gestures to tell the story. In many ways, capturing a storytelling image in the studio can be much more challenging than shooting on location, where you can rely on the environment to render part of the story.
