Mother And Baby Portrait

Dear Loving Parent,

    I wake up every morning and wonder where the time is going. Do you ever do that? It seems the older you and your children get, the faster time seems to fly. I am very lucky.

   My wife Veronica and I have a beautiful daughter and even now I can't believe how she has grown. I often times find myself longing for the days I could bounce her on my lap and she would giggle with joy. Those times will always be precious to me and I thank God that I have more than just memories to help me relive those times. 

There Is Nothing Like Being A Parent. You'll Do Anything For Your Child And When Your Child Smiles,  It's One Of The Most Touching Sights In The World.

   I have this great professional photograph I took of my daughter Eva. I call it the 'ballet shoe' photograph because Eva was dressed in the cutest little ballerina tutu and she was struggling with the straps on her ballet shoe. Just as she manages to get the straps untangled and her shoe slips on, she looks up at me and smiles. I get the perfect photograph!

   I couldn't have asked for a more sweeter moment - there is so much emotion in her little face just in that single image. I couldn't begin to describe how I would feel if I ever lost that photograph, it means so much to me.

   I created that photograph of Eva when she was 4 years old and I still remember to this day exactly what that day was like.

   It was so perfect. And that entire day - that entire moment in my daughter's and my life - is captured in her smile. It's the most real, most tender, most innocent smile and it is totally HER. More than any other photograph the 'ballet shoe' photograph captures Eva's child-like spirit and it always make me smile and that was more than 10 years ago!

   What would a photograph like that of your child mean to you in 20 or 25 years? There's still time, but every day your child's smile changes a little.


These Kinds Of Photographs Are More Than Mere Snapshots. They Are Not Accidents And Yet They Are Not 'Posed' Or Unnatural In Any Way.

Child Portrait

   You know your child better than anyone else in the world. You know the 'real' smile and you know the 'fake' smile. But you know what? Other people can tell the difference, too. We all can.

   You've seen pictures where you could tell the photographer quickly posed the child and said 'say cheese!'  The lighting may have been good and the background might have been nice, but that fake expression that happens when a child is told to 'smile' just makes the picture look like a snapshot instead of a special moment in your child's life.


Imagine How Wonderful Your Child's Expression Will Be When The Photographer Has Become Your Child's Friend.

   Children are very smart. They don't just blindly trust anyone and they NEVER show their true expressions to someone they don't know or trust. That's why Eva's 'ballet shoe' photograph is so natural. She of course know me and therefore she was able to totally be herself. That's why I work so hard to be able to capture those same priceless expressions in other children.

That's What Makes All The Difference! The Perfect Portrait Of Your Child Is Priceless And It Can Only Happen If The Photographer Understands How To Work With Your Child To Bring Out Those Natural Expressions.

   Many photographers actually FEAR children. We can understand that because the concept of photographing children can be pretty scary sometimes. Working with other people's children can be very intimidating. Most photographers don't even meet your child until it is time to create the photographs. So, there your child is sitting there under all these bright lights, in a strange place, in front of some strange person they have never met before. How scary is that? It's no wonder most photographers resort to telling children to 'say cheese' in order to get an expression that forcefully resembles a smile.

Well, For Us That's Just Not Good Enough. Your Child Is Only Going To Be This Age RIGHT NOW - You Deserve The Perfect Portrait To Capture This Moment In Time Forever.

   When you find the right photographer, meaning a photographer who doesn't merely understand the craft of photography, but also understands how to capture your child's best expressions, then you have found a new friend you will value for the rest of your life. This photographer is going to do something for you that no one else in the world can ever do - This photographer will STOP TIME and capture a cherished memory that you will be able to relive every day of your life.

   Nothing means more to me than family memories. No one (other than the rest of your family) understands what your child means to you more than I do. That's one of the reasons I became a professional photographer - I want to help other parents hold on to their family memories forever and never regret not having a special photograph of their child created.

Question: Just Suppose Someone Were To Create The Perfect Portrait Of Your Child - One Where Your Child Looked Better Than Ever, Happier Than Ever - A Portrait That Meant The World To You - What Would That Be Worth?

   No price tag can be put on your child's memories. They are and always will be priceless. So why would you ever gamble with those memories? It's just a question of whether you believe a portrait of your children could really mean that much to you.

   If you were suffering from an excruciating toothache, would want to go to the cheapest dentist in town or the best one? Well, there is really no question. It's the same thing with your child's memories. You can certainly find a cheaper photographer in town, but there are many other things to consider than price alone...

The Photographer You Choose Should Care About Your Child And Your Memories, Not Just About 'Making A Quick Buck' Off You.

   I pride myself on becoming a family friend of every child I photograph. I've have had the privilege of being invited to my clients homes for birthday parties, christenings, naming ceremonies and such. You see, I didn't get into photography to get right. Believe me, there are plenty of easier ways to make a fast buck. My father owned a successful construction company in North Africa and I could have been well off had I taken over the reigns of the family business.

   I consciously CHOSE to become a professional photographer of people from the very beginning and it's a decision I have never regretted. I realize that all the money the world meant nothing to me it I didn't feel that I was making a contribution to others, unless I was making a difference.

I Realize That Childhood Memories Are Priceless - That There Is No More Noble Or More Wonderful Profession Than To Become A "Memory Giver."

   I didn't become a photographer just because I liked to take photographs. Don't get me wrong, I love the 'art' of photography, but that's not the reason I first picked up a camera. As a child, my mother and father didn't have many photographs taken.


   I became a photographer for heartfelt personal reasons, not just because I wanted to take pictures. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely am in love with the 'art' of photography, but that's not the reason I picked up my first camera. As a child my family didn't have many photographs taken.

   Throughout my childhood, I can't remember a single photograph being taken of me, my mother, my father and my siblings all together. But, early in my photography career I had the chance to create a portrait of my mom and dad together, standing beside our brand new swimming pool. The photograph was pretty good.

   Since then both my parents have passed away and incredibly it's that photograph of the two of them I cherish the most. I can't imagine what it would be like not to have it sitting on my desk in my office. I look at it everyday and I admit it is one of my most prized possessions - it means to the world to me - and that's why I do what I do.

Now, I Have A Family Of My Own And I Swore I Would Be Sure To Capture The Memories Of My Children Through Fine Portraiture.

   Time is the one thing that none of us have enough of. It is the one thing that money can't buy. It is the one thing that we all would give just about anything for. Through photography, we can hold on to the moments in our lives that we wish could last forever. If it's done properly, these same photographs can become family works of art that we proudly display in our home for everyone to see.


Before You Make The Decision As To Who Will Photograph Your Child You Should Chat With Me. There Are Things You Will Want To Ask The Other Photographers . . . 

   Don't worry. I'm not going to try to 'sell you' on working with me. I am already very busy and I don't have to pressure anyone to work with me as a photographer. I just want to talk to you about your portraits and help you discover what your photographs could be like. There is no cost or obligation of any kind and it will make the difference in how great your photographs will look.

   You should know that in order for my portraiture to be creative, sensitive and artistic I limit the amount of sessions I do each month and these spaces fill rather quickly. I don't want you to miss your opportunity, I recommend you all me now just to chat about your portraits.

Throughout This Web-page You Will See Parents From The Inland Empire And Beyond Who Have Had Their Lives Forever Enriched By The Lasting Memories Of Children's Portraits - And There Were Things Thy Didn't Know When They Started Looking For A Photographer . . .

   If you're like most parents, when you initially thought of having a portrait created of your child you probably pictured in your mind a tiny studio, with a painted background, some bright lights, with your child sitting on a stool looking nervous. Maybe you even thought of using a family member or friend of yours who fancies themselves as a bit of a 'photography buff.' Maybe you thought of having this person do a quick photograph of your child and you that would be good enough. Well, you're not alone. Most parents think this way at first . . .

. . . but then, just like the other parents on this site something make you decide to really check out (and read) my website. You probably saw some of the children's photography I've created and said to yourself "that's what I want."  Maybe you realized that this portrait of your child is so important that you're not going to trust it to just anyone. Believe me, you've made the right decision. 

6 Critical Things To Look For In Your Child's Photographer - The Secrets 99% Of People Looking For A Children's Photographer Don't Know:

   If you have read this far you must at least be considering having a portrait of your child created. Well, that's great - you will probably never make a decision that will bring you more lasting joy. However, there are some things you should know before your son or daughter steps in front of any camera. By the time you finish reading this web-page you will be armed with everything you need to know about how to have the perfect portrait of your child created - the one you will cherish forever!

   There are 6 vital things you must look for in a photographer! If your photographer is missing any one of these things, your child's portraits will be much less than they should be. Demand that your photographer does each and every one of the these elements!

   Perhaps you may feel like having a children's portrait properly done is going to be a lot of work on your part. Well, it isn't! As long as you know the information on this site, it won't be much work at all on your part.

So, let's jump right in!

#1 Demand That Your Photographer GUARANTEE You Will LOVE Your Child's Portraits.


   Funny, but most photographers WILL NOT DO THIS! What if you had a portrait of your child created and your child did not look natural in it.  The photograph was okay, but it didn't turn out spectacular. Should you have to pay for it? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I strongly believe that no one should ever have to pay for a photograph that isn't PERFECT. That is why I am the only photographer in my area to offer the following guarantee . . .


   A Guarantee Unlike Any You've Ever Heard -

If Your Child Doesn't Look The Happiest & Best He Or She Has Ever Looked In These Photographs - If You Don't Cry Tears Of Joy When You Look At Them - You Don't Pay Me For Them.

   That's my guarantee and personal promise to you. As far as I know, there is not other photographer around that will make you this super guarantee. Unless your photographs convey the real emotions and personality of your child, they will be completely meaningless to you. What other reason would you want to have a children's portrait created?

   So, if FOR ANY REASON you feel that the photographs I create for you are anything less than perfect - if you don't actually cry when I show them to you for the first time, you don't pay me for them. It's that simple.

   Obviously I am totally confident that the portraits I create for you will be well beyond anything you ever imagined. I completely believe that these photographs will become your most prized possessions - that, it God forbid, your house were on fire you would grab them on the way out of your burning house. Please don't mistake this as arrogance. I hate arrogance. This is my complete belief in my ability to capture natural, real emotions from children unlike anyone else. That's what I've devoted my life to in training and education and that's why I can't wait to photograph your child for you.

So To Restate My DOUBLE GUARANTEE -

   If You Are Not Thrilled With Your Photographs - If You Are Dissatisfied For ANY Reason At All, I Will Do Two Things For You . . .

1st - At NO CHARGE, I will photograph your child again and make certain that anything that wasn't perfect is fixed, without you paying another cent.

2nd - If I am absolutely unable to thrill you - if I am unable to create a photograph that you feel you will cherish forever, I will refund EVERY PENNY you invested. You don't pay for your photographs unless you love them beyond expression!

   (Whether or not I end up being your photographer, please make sure your photographer offers this strong of a guarantee. If they are good, they should back up their work by taking all the risk off of you.)

One Year Old Baby Session

#2 The Photographer Must Meet Your Child And Become 'Friends' Ahead Of Time - BEFORE The Session.

   No child is going to look natural and vibrant if they don't know, trust, or like the photographer.  That is just a plain fact. Besides making for a better photograph, think how much more fun your child is going to have during the session if the photographer has become your child's friend. There is absolutely no reason why your child shouldn't enjoy having these portraits created. In fact, if your child is not having a good time the photographs will most likely not turn out very well.

   Years ago I made a decision that I would NEVER do a photographic session without meeting the child ahead of time. That single decision has made more of a difference to my clients than almost any other decision I've made.

   THERE IS NO COST FOR THIS PRE-SESSION MEETING and it will only take about 15 minutes and by the time those fifteen minutes are up you and your child will be so much more comfortable with me. Then when I do the actual session your child's expressions come freely, naturally and priceless every time.

   (If I don't end up being your photographer make absolutely sure the photographer will meet with you and your child ahead of time and AT NO CHARGE. I can't stress enough what a difference this will make!)

#3 AT NO EXTRA CHARGE Your Photographer Should Give You The Option Of Creating The Images ON LOCATION Instead Of In A Boring Studio.

   This is another important point - for so many reasons!  First of all, as I mentioned earlier one of the biggest challenges for a photographer is making your child feel comfortable so the expressions are natural and fun. Well, in addition to meeting the photographer one of the best things for your child is to create the photographs in an environment that is familiar or fun for the child.

   Where is the place most children are most comfortable? IN OR AROUND THEIR HOME, of course. Imagine instead of being in what can sometimes be a 'scary' studio, imagine the photographer coming to your home to create fantastic photographs right in your home or backyard! How great would that be? Think of how comfortable and 'at home' you and your child would feel.

   Or suppose going out to a park or the beach or playing in a field of flowers and having the photographer take your child's photographs there. Not only would your child have more fun this way, but it will also be a much more personal, unique setting. There's not much exciting or personal about a photograph taken in a studio. The setting will look just like hundreds of other child photographs.

   Yes, I can and do create images in my studio and I go to great lengths to make certain they are not 'just ordinary' photographs. But, AT NO EXTRA CHARGE I will come to your home or take you and your child to a few locations in and around the Inland Empire that are perfect for this type of photography. You'll at least have options. You may want to do some in the studio and some on location. You see, not only do I not mind doing location photography (which requires more work on my part) - I actually ENCOURAGE it. After years of 'at home' photography I know that location photographs tend to be the photographs parents like the most.

   (If I don't end up being your photographer make absolutely sure the photographer will create images on location as well as in the studio AT NO CHARGE.)

Bonus Tip! #1 Major Myth Below:

"There's No Rush I Have Plenty Of Time To Have A Portrait Of My Child Created"

   Before we continue with the 5 THINGS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER MUST DO, let's talk about this for a moment. So many people think they have all the time in the world to have a portrait of their child created.

   But, you know how things are. If you don't pick up the phone right now to at least call me to chat about your child's portrait, you will probably get swamped with other things and forget all about it. Then before you know it a year - two years - five years have gone by. How different will your son or daughter be by then?

   Time is ticking . . . and it is never going to stop.


First Your Child Takes Their First Step. Next They Learn To Ride A Bike. Later Gets A Driver's License. Graduates From High School. Goes To College. Gets Married. Starts A Family Of Their Own.

   Trust me, these are precious times and although things will change, this moment never has to slip from your fingers.

   Don't put this off. If your life is half as crazy as mine is, year after year you find yourself frustrated at the things you wanted to do and never got around to. A portrait of your child - as he or she is right now - is something you deserve to have.


Plus, You Will Save 50% By Acting Right Now!

   Just suppose you call my studio and chat with me. Just suppose you decide you would like me to be your child's photographer. Well, because you took the time to visit and read my website information I will deduct 50% off the creation of your child's portraits - NO MATTER WHEN YOU DECIDE TO HAVE THE PORTRAITS TAKEN!

   Why such an offer?

   Even if it's after business hours, place the call. I have an answering machine that is waiting to cheerfully take your message and I will personally call you  back so we can chat. Just let me know when is a good time to call you back. Again, I'm not going to try to 'pressure' you at all into working with me. And remember, there is no cost at all for us just to chat.

   When you call, we'll talk about the things you want to know and I'll tell you a bit about me. It won't be a long call, but it will be one of the most important calls you make.

#4 The Photographer MUST Allow At Least ONE HOUR To Photograph Your Child!

   This is a BIGGIE. Most photographers are trying to crank so many sessions through in a day, they only have a short amount of time to photograph each subject. Did you  know that the average child photographer spends ONLY 12.5 MINUTES photographing a child?! That's insane!

   I'm Italian and for me fine children's photography can easily be compared to a fine dining experience. Neither should be rushed. Both experiences should be unique, thoughtful and never hurried. The photographer is like your personal chef preparing your 'meal' from beginning to end. The photographer is going to have to 'add all the right spices' into the photograph to make it more than just right.

   Your entire experience should be PERFECT. This pursuit in quality takes a bit of patience, a lot of focus, and a huge passion for the art. If in about 15 minutes the next client is scheduled to show up, you can't possibly get the service and attention you deserve.

   I ALWAYS set aside at least one to two hours for every child session I schedule. Now, it may not take the entire time to photography your child, but the time is there to create the perfect portrait. Yes, I have had a few sessions that only took about 20 minutes or so to get a number of stunning images, but again the point is, the time is there if needed. Remember these are your memories and it's up to you to make sure your photographer realizes their responsibility to you and your child.

   (If I don't end up being your photographer make absolutely sure your photographer spends AT LEAST ONE HOUR creating the perfect images for you - your session should not be rushed!)

#5 The Photographer Must Make Your Child Feel Totally Comfortable By Playing A Game Or By Using A Favorite Stuffed Animal, Pet Or Toy.

   I love this part. You see, there is a two-fold benefit here. It is going to make your child so much more comfortable and at the same time it's going to add yet another level of personalization to the final photographs. As you know children love familiarity. Nothing can calm them down like that 'security blankie' they love to haul around the house or that special beat up, thread-bare stuffed animal that Grammy gave them on their first birthday, or the family pet that is their furry best friend.

   Imagine the wonderful photographs that will come from allowing your child to play with something that is so special to them. Some of the most emotional and memorable portraits I've ever created involved a child playing with a toy, a pet or even a family music box. We've all seen children almost slip into another world when they play with certain things. Those are the moments I live for and those are the moments I'm going to capture for you.

   (If I don't end up being your photographer MAKE ABSOLUTELY sure your photographer doesn't mind incorporating your child's favorite 'lovie' into the photographs!)

Your Child's Portrait Will Become More Valuable To You Than Anything Else In Your Home.

   Do you have a photograph of your child that means the world to you? I'm not talking about a 'snapshot' that was taken during a family outing on the Fourth of July. I'm talking about a wonderful photograph, created by an artistic photographer who not only captures your child's true expression and personality, but also creates such a beautiful portrait that you would be proud to display it in your home for the rest of your life.

It's Not Too Late. This Moment, Right Now, Can Be Held Onto For The Rest Of Your Life -  For You To Share With Family And Friends.

   You don't have to make a big decision right now. You don't have to choose your photographer - you don't even have to decide that now is the time for your child's portrait.

Just Call My Studio And We'll Chat. If You Decide You Want Me To Create Your Child's Portrait, Save 50% Off It's Creation. It's Up To You.
