At Sarah Schmidt Photography, I believe that every child is unique, and their personality shines brightest in those little moments. That’s why I offer 5-minute Personality Portrait sessions — a quick but meaningful way to capture your child’s individuality and the joy of watching them grow. The Winter 2025 sessions in Fairfax, VA, were full of adorable smiles, big laughs, and even a few shy moments, and I can’t wait to share the highlights with you!

Why Choose a 5-Minute Personality Portrait?

Life with kids moves fast, and sometimes, it’s hard to keep up with how quickly they change. My 5-minute personality portrait sessions are designed to freeze those precious moments and focus solely on who your child is at this stage of life. No more stiff, posed school photos — I want to show their true selves!

From the playful giggles to the quiet, thoughtful looks, every image tells the story of who your child is right now. These portraits are more than just a snapshot; they’re a celebration of personality, growth, and the little quirks that make your child them.

Highlights from Our February Sessions

This winter, I had the pleasure of capturing children of all ages — from toddlers to tweens — each with their own unique spirit. Whether it was the shy smile of a first-time sitter or the energetic laugh of an older sibling, each session was filled with love, laughter, and moments we won’t forget.

Here’s a glimpse at the heart of February’s personality portraits:

• Little Explorers: We had so many adorable little ones who were just discovering their voices and personalities! Their curiosity and sense of wonder were captured in every image.
• Big Smiles, Bold Personalities: The older kiddos who brought their bold, confident smiles really stole the show. They had so much fun engaging with the camera and showcasing their true selves!
• Sibling Bonds: It was a joy to see siblings interact in front of the camera, whether they were sharing a laugh or even having a playful wrestling match. These portraits truly captured the depth of family bonds.

What to Expect from a Personality Portrait Session

• Quick, Easy, and Fun: I keep our sessions short and sweet — just 5 minutes! Your child will be photographed in a relaxed, playful environment, ensuring the experience is as enjoyable as the photos are beautiful.
• Personalized for Your Child: Every child is different, and my sessions focus on their individual personality. Whether it’s their favorite toy, a special outfit, or a candid moment, we’ll capture what makes them unique.
• Timeless Photos: These portraits aren’t just for now — they’ll become cherished memories that you’ll look back on as your child grows.
