Preschool portrait, but make it editorial.
The slight lean, hands in pockets, and that serious expression give this image personality without losing polish. The clean white background keeps it timeless, while directional lighting adds depth and dimension so the outfit and expression both stand out. This is what happens when you let a kid have a little swagger instead of forcing a standard school-photo pose.
Children this age don’t need stiff instructions. They need direction, timing, and someone who knows when to click the shutter. I guide them just enough to get a strong composition while keeping it natural.
All preschool sessions are photographed on location at schools throughout Chester County, the Main Line, and the Philadelphia area. Families receive a small gallery of cohesive images, and retouching is always included.
