What to Expect
Before Your Session
White or light-colored shirts work especially well.
Avoid logos, graphics, and busy patterns.
A little moisturizer on the face and arms helps minimize dry skin, creating beautiful skin tones in black-and-white.
During Your Session
We might laugh.
We might be wonderfully quiet.
Every child is different, and that's exactly what makes these portraits special.
After Your Session
Your four included high-resolution digital photographs will be available for download.
Additional portraits may be purchased as digital downloads.
Classic Littles offers museum-quality archival matte canvas portraits that beautifully complement timeless black-and-white portraiture, preserving rich tones, and subtle detail. Gallery-wrapped canvas, professionally framed, and archival fine art paper options are available. Of course, you're also welcome to print your portraits wherever you choose.
Created to be enjoyed every day.
A Few Things Parents Often Ask
1. What if my child is shy?
Classic Littles celebrates every personality. Whether your child is shy, outgoing, curious, or simply a little reserved, Patti takes the time to help them feel comfortable. Capturing the quiet, thoughtful side of a child's personality often creates the most meaningful portraits.
2. What if my child doesn't smile?
Wonderful. Classic Littles celebrates personality—not forced expressions.
3. How long are sessions?
10-15 minutes. Kids are happiest when sessions are short.....Moms are too!
4. Do you photograph infants?
Classic Littles photographs children from approximately 6 months through 18 years of age. Children should be able to sit independently with minimal assistance.
5. Can siblings be photographed together?
Classic Littles celebrates each child's unique personality, so sessions are designed for individual portraits.
If you'd also like a sibling portrait, I'm happy to create one at the end of the session whenever time allows.
6. What is the cost of a Classic Littles session?
Classic Littles sessions are $250 per child and include four high-resolution digital portraits with a print release.
$125 due at booking; remaining $125 due one week before your child’s session.
Your first child’s Classic Littles session is full price. Each additional child (in your immediate family) receives a 15% discount.
7. When can I expect to receive my child's digital photographs?
Your private online gallery is typically delivered within two to three weeks of your session.
8. What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation and Rescheduling
The initial $125 payment is non-refundable. If Client cancels at least seven (7) days before the scheduled session, amounts paid may be applied toward a future Classic Littles session, subject to availability. Cancellations made fewer than seven (7) days before the scheduled session will result in forfeiture of all amounts paid. Failure to attend the scheduled session will result in forteiture of all amounts paid.
However, Photographer recognizes that unforeseen circumstances and emergencies may arise. At Photographer’s sole discretion, and based on circumstances presented, Client may be permitted to apply amounts paid toward a future Classic Littles session, subject to availability.
If Photographer must cancel because of weather, illness, emergency, or another circumstance that prevents the session from taking place, Client may choose a full refund of the session fee or apply the fee toward a future Classic Littles session.
9. How do I book a session?

10. Do you offer professional printing and framing?
Absolutely, I offer museum-quality archival matte canvas, available gallery wrapped or professionally framed. After extensive research, and years of producing fine art photographic art, I've carefully selected premium materials that beautifully complement timeless black-and-white portraiture, preserving rich tones, subtle detail, and exceptional archival quality. If desired, archival museum-quality fine art paper is also available.
