Personality Portraits

Capture Your Child's Unique Spirit with Personality Portraits

At OC Kid Studio, we believe every child has a unique personality that deserves to be celebrated through documentation. Personality portraits capture your child’s unique spirit and character through genuine, real-life expressions. Unlike traditional photos, these portraits focus on authentic emotions with bright and happy backdrop options.

Why Personality Portraits Matter

Children grow and change faster than we realize. Their interests, quirks, and expressions today will soon become treasured memories. Personality portraits allow you to freeze these fleeting moments and keep them forever. From toothy grins to silly faces, we’ll document it all with beautiful, high-quality images that reflect who your child is right now.

What to Expect

Our sessions are fun and engaging, ensuring your child feels comfortable and has fun while we capture their true personality. We work closely with you to choose outfits, props, and styles that reflect your child’s individuality so each portrait tells their unique story.

Don't Wait—Time Flies!

Kids grow up fast; once these moments pass, you can’t get them back. Now is the perfect time to book a personality portrait session and ensure these special memories are captured forever.

The Essence of Personality Portraits

  • Personality portraits are more than just photos; they are timeless windows into a child’s world, capturing their unique character and spirit like no other form of photography can. These portraits provide an insightful glimpse into a child’s true self, showcasing their genuine emotions and the feelings they experience in their everyday life. The ability to capture these moments authentically is what makes personality portraits so special.

  • Personality portraits aim to reflect a child’s individuality in their images. Unlike traditional photography sessions that might rely heavily on props and poses, personality portraits focus on the natural light and settings that bring out a child’s true essence. This approach allows the photographer to capture spontaneous moments that reveal the child’s real emotions and personality traits, making each photograph a true representation of the individual.

  • Sessions usually last around 20 minutes to keep the child engaged and capture genuine expressions. The brief duration helps avoid fatigue, making the experience enjoyable and allowing for the session includes capture of authentic smiles and interactions.

How long is a personality portrait session?

As much as kids love being in front of our cameras, the sweet spot of getting different facial expressions is about 15 to 20 minutes per child.

What’s the dress code for the portraits?

Since our backdrops are bold, we recommend bringing in solid-colored outfits. Avoid any graphics unless your kids are in a certain phase of loving Spider-Man, the Little Mermaid, or any other favorite.

How many photos are included?

We deliver 20 high-resolution retouched images per child from the entire session. Additional photos and handmade in Italy, prints, and books are available for purchase.

Sibling photos/family photos

We designate 15 minutes per child for photos. There is an additional fee to photograph more than one child. We love the idea of documenting siblings together!

How soon are the photos delivered?

The high-resolution images are delivered within seven business days. All images are delivered via email. There’s an option for expedited delivery for an additional fee.

Would you be able to come on location for a portrait session?

Our children’s photography studio is in Orange County, but we can come on location for an additional fee.
