| Chenevert Photography offers fine
art, black and white portraiture; a combination of natural
light in a comfortable setting, a casual approach and
the amazing candor of childhood. |

| Each
photo sitting is truly as unique as its subject. A sitting
can range anywhere from 1 to 2 hrs. Early morning
or sunset shoots are ideal in terms of lighting, but
it's important to select a time of the day when your
children are at their best. |

I
recommend a location where your children can easily
and freely express themselves. It might be frolicking
in fountains at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, or perhaps
it's creating memories in your own backyard. In the
colder months, a variety of lovely indoor options are
available. And, of course, the comfort of your own home
is always a great choice.
My assistant and I will travel to clients in Chicago
and the Chicagoland suburbs.
Because Chicago weather is unpredictable even in the
summer, it’s best to plan an indoor option just
in case. A final decision on location can be made up
to an hour before the photo shoot. Supplemental studio
style lighting is also available, as needed. |

| I recommend that
children wear comfortable clothes in solid colors. (Busy
patterns or clothing with writing can be distracting.)
White or dark hues maximize contrast with wonderful,
dramatic results. Textures such as cable knit, fleece
or denim always look nice on film. Dress-up clothes
and bare feet can be a lot of fun too. It’s best
to minimize costume changes if possible to avoid disrupting
the “flow” of the photo shoot. Less is more,
and simple outfits always work the best. |

| Parents should
be open to spontaneity and unexpected surprises. It's
these possibilities that produce the realism in unforgettable
images. Props are not always needed during the photo
shoot, but it's a good idea to have a favorite toy,
book or music on hand just in case. Always have healthy
snacks available when a break is needed. Most importantly,
relax and have fun. And feel free to jump in for some
shots. Additional family members are always free of
charge. |
