Black & white children's portraits
Capture your child's personality in a relaxed, fun session that results in timeless photos you’ll treasure. We focus on authentic expressions and natural moments, photographed in a simple studio setting with a white background.
Available in los angeles and marin county.
Why Black & White?
Without the distraction of color, these portraits highlight true expression. Every laugh, glance, and little detail that makes your child unique. It’s a timeless way to remember their personality just as it is right now.
About the Session
Location
Sessions take place in my Santa Monica studio on a simple white backdrop, with select dates available in Marin County.
Timing
Each session lasts around 30–60 minutes. Some children warm up right away; others take a little longer to settle in. Either way, we go at their pace to keep things relaxed and natural.
Before the Session
You’ll receive a short prep guide with tips on what to bring, wardrobe ideas, and how to help your child feel comfortable. The goal is to keep everything easy and low-stress so they can just be themselves.
After Your Session
You’ll receive a curated gallery of final retouched images based on the package you select. All images are delivered digitally in high resolution, ready to print and share.
All ages are welcome. Sessions work best if children can sit independently.

I was truly amazed by Phia's ability to capture such heartwarming photos during what felt like a chaotic 30-minute photoshoot. The edits were absolutely incredible, I know my entire family will cherish these photos for years to come.

Phia is really the best! She captured my 3 year old perfectly. My daughter left saying “Phia is my new friend,” which I think says it all. We can’t recommend her enough!
