Piper Manhattan Beach Fall Photos

Hello Piper Families! I am thrilled to be photographing your children this October! My goal is to provide a fun experience for your child, resulting in natural images to capture their time and joy at Piper. My motto is “Send them to School Dressed and we will Take Care of the Rest!”

Our Schedule will be as Follows:

**please note SIBLING PHOTOS will be taken on October 14th

Wednesday, October 14th: Ruby2, Poppy 1, Poppy 2 + ALL SIBLING SETS (solo + together shots)

Thursday, October 15th: Bluebells, Johnny 3, Ruby 1

Friday, October 16th: Johnny 2, Johnny 1

Wondering how this all works?

On photo days, kiddos will be brought out to our photo area in small groups so they can get comfortable and see by watching their friends just how easy (and fun!) this will be. I’ll capture a variety of poses and expressions while keeping the whole process quick, relaxed and playful. Photos will be in the same style you see in the samples above and as you can see, SHOES will be photographed!

One of the best ways you can help is actually by not practicing smiles ahead of time! I will coax those sweet expressions and encourage you to send your children off for the the day with a simple “Have a great day!” and “Have fun with Katie!” and we’ll take it from there. I LOVE SURPRISING PARENTS!

That said, for our littlest kiddos who may have never seen an actual camera, if you happen to have one at home, it can be helpful to show it to them so it feels a little more familiar on photo day . :)

You’ll receive an email as soon as galleries are released. In the meantime, feel free to fill out the form below if you have any questions!

Thank you for the pleasure of getting to know and photographing your children!
