How to choose a session Type

The most important thing to keep in mind when deciding on a session type is that more time affords more genuine authenticity. It allows high energy kids the opportunity to both run free and slow down. Shy little ones get the time to come out of their shell and show more personality. Regardless of your child’s personality, it’s a win for everyone. Parents feel less stress because everyone isn’t trying to command and control every move kids make. MORE TIME ALLOWS FOR CONNECTION and the result is priceless moments that can be treasured for generations to come.

Worried your toddler won’t last an hour? When we all change our focus to just spending time together and letting go of trying to force smiles and focus, that’s when the magic happens. You’ll find an hour flies by and we’ll all wish we had more time! The other thing to keep in mind is that locations outside of Walnut and Creek and Lamorinda warrant a full session unless offered as a special event. Not sure where you want to hold your session?
