Your child deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and cherished
Children grow quickly, but their need to feel loved, valued, and confident lasts a lifetime. Our portraits do more than capture a smile — they become daily reminders that say: "You are loved. You are worthy. You belong."
Imagine your child seeing their portrait every morning and feeling secure, proud, and uplifted — even when you're not in the room. That’s the power of meaningful photography. Fill your home with joy, connection, and the faces that make your heart full.
Now is the perfect time to create artwork that builds not just memories — but self-worth.
Click the button below and let’s connect. We’ll take time to learn what you love most about your child — their laugh, their spirit, the quirks you never want to forget — so we can craft portraits that reflect who they truly are.

Thanks to Kaela and Jonathan, we lived a fantastic experience! They made it so easy for us and and we felt confortable right the way! They even accomodated complicated last minute work conditions, going out of their way to help us.
The final photos were so great that it was very hard to choose from them. The portait was of an artist (a shy artist) in the middle of her paintings. She looked gorgeous and the art work looked as wonderful as it is in reality.
Thank you Kaela and Jonathan. That was one of the best investments I have ever made!

I was nervous to do a photo shoot in a studio but Kaela made me feel sooo comfortable. The pictures are beyond what I could have imagined, fun, beautiful, sentimental, dramatic, joyful. Her and her husband were so catering to me and my rambunctious dogs and created true masterpieces for me! I will cherish these photos forever.

I recently had my headshots done by Strauss Peyton and they were spectacular, I could not have been more pleased. I highly recommend Strauss Peyton to anyone needing headshots, family portraits or any other professional pictures done.
