Babies, Children & Maternity

We LOVE working with kids of all ages! The truth is that we are just big kids ourselves. So, acting goofy to get those precious smiles and adorable expressions is something we do naturally. Babies and children seem to know that, too. Perhaps that's why they are so comfortable in working with us, whether in our studio, at home or outdoors. We play, laugh, giggle and make silly faces and sounds to make sure every child feels safe and secure.

We understand the importance of capturing all the special moments in a child's life because we're parents, too. We know how fast they change and grow. That's why we work closely with moms and dads during the creative process and take our time with children so they never feel rushed. Moms and Dads can also rest easy knowing that our studio is child-proofed and offers child and toddler friendly amenities, including a changing table, potty seat, age appropriate toys and movies.

Our relaxed, contemporary style works well with children and parents alike. We use very few, if any, props so the emphasis is always on the child. As storytellers at heart, we try to capture as many unique expressions and antics as possible to create unique storyboards, collages, photo montages and slideshows. These make unforgettable family keepsakes that are sure to make you smile. We apply the same artistic vision to maternity portraits to create beautiful and romantic photographs for couples to cherish and pass on to their children. Maternity sessions are relaxed, intimate sessions that often spark deep emotions. We take great care to make sure our clients are at ease so the whole experience is fun and memorable.

What Our Clients Say ...

"Having never been photographed before, my husband and I had no idea what to expect when we arranged to have our newborn photographed. The Balsmans went out of their way to make our whole experience comfortable, memorable, and positive from beginning to end. They were so patient when our little guy was fussy, gently making thoughtful suggestions that helped him get settled and all of us to get adorable photos. When it was time to view the photos, we thoroughly enjoyed the movie-like atmosphere with our son as the main attraction. Popcorn, drinks and a sign out front are a few of the little details that made all the difference. When it came time to order photos, the Balsmans couldn't have been nicer. There was never any stress or pressure. All in all, we had a fabulous experience!"
