Children develop so quickly –
capture each stage of their lives.
Your children will reach major milestones right before your eyes. If you're not intentional about documenting their journey, you could miss the little moments as they get older.
Our professional images of your children will pull on your heartstrings for years to come.
Children Photography
Special moments you’ll cherish as they grow
Your child is the star.
We love orchestrating photo experiences that bring out your children's unique personality traits while capturing those candid expressions you love so much. From babies to teens, there are so many creative ideas we can incorporate into your session.
We encourage you to bring outfit changes or their favorite toys and include mom and dad to be in some portraits as well. With five children of our own, we know sometimes it takes patience to get just the right shot. Our friendly photographers will have your kids feeling right at home.
Choose the right location.
In-home or outdoor sessions are a great idea for your children's portraits, including the Mitchell Park Domes, Botanical Gardens, Seven Bridges and so much more. Our welcoming studio is also a relaxing space for your children to be photographed. We have a variety of backdrops, furniture and props that are perfect for children.
Is there a location that is special to your kids? We’d love to hear your ideas!

Our Process
Prepare
There is a lot to think about preparing a photo session. We are here to help you every step of the way. We suggest a consultation with one of our photographers where we can discuss what to wear, what location would be best, and what time of day is the lighting best in that location.
Photograph
For your photo session, we create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere so you can look your best and have fun at the same time. Feel free to bring additional outfits if you're not sure what to wear. Our photographers can match your outfits to our backgrounds or locations around the city.
Purchase
We start your purchasing appointment with a presentation of photos to music. As your images are projected on our large screen, you will be able to choose your favorite photos and match them with our beautiful products. See some of our most popular products here.

"We take our kids to In-Focus every year!"
"We love taking pictures of our kids as they grow, but nothing compares to the quality and professionalism that we get from Mary and Jerry.
It's amazing to look back on the photos of our children as they have developed. We wouldn't trade them for anything."
