At Bidun Studio Photography we have a passion for capturing timeless children portraits. As a husband and wife photography team, we feel like our three children are our greatest inspiration source. As Sacrament’s top children portrait photography studio, our goal is to capture their genuine smiles, laughs and natural interactions between siblings. Whether you wish to have your child’s portrait taken in our Sacramento studio or on a location of your choice, we know how to grab their attention and document their true personality.

CAPTURE HAPPY AND AUTHENTIC EMOTION

Photography for children can be very tricky, we’ve experienced this first hand - we have a son who’s only 18 months older than our twin daughters. Photographing all three of them together has always been quite a challenge, but over time as they grew older it’s not as challenging anymore. We know that children can be squirmy, impatient and even cranky. With children portraits, we are not looking to shoot fake smiles. We want to capture happy and authentic emotions that you as parents would cherish for many many years. In order to capture the perfect shot, we ask that you be patient and go with the flow, without interfering with the way we photograph the children. There are certain strategies that we follow with children photography, which enable us to have beautiful authentic portraits every time. At Bidun Studio Photography we have experience you can trust. As parents and Sacramento’s professional children photographers, we know how to capture high-quality, authentic portraits of children.

How often do we try to go back in time by looking for photos of our early childhood, trying to remember what we looked like and what we liked doing? Having just a few of those children photos is so important to us, as not everyone has even that! Back in that time, technology was not as advanced and not everyone could afford to take children portraits in a studio, let alone own a camera. Nowadays, you can probably find a professional children's photographer in any city that you live in. Why not document your son or daughter’s milestones, as they grow up from newborn baby to a teenager?

CHILDREN'S TRUE PERSONALITIES

At Bidun Studio Photography we are strong believers that photographing your children is very important, even if you don’t see the significance of it at the moment. Children grow up so fast, and their looks, interests, funny habits change with time as well. They start losing their baby teeth, they start attending school, get involved with sports or other activities - with every year there will be so many new milestones in their lives. Capturing these little moments and big milestones is so important, as these types of memories will have more and more value over time. Let our professional children portrait photography team turn these moments into amazing memories for you to cherish down the road.

Photographing children in a relaxed and fun environment, witnessing their authentic smiles, these are the reasons why we love photographing children. Our passion for children photography came with the birth of our children, and our efforts to document all of their fun and important moments. Photographing kids can be challenging, but it is also so fun, if the photographer can establish a friendly relationship with their clients. One of the most rewarding things for us about photographing kids is when we persevere in working with them and finally get a genuine expression on camera.

A true portrait will reflect a child’s personality, energy and uniqueness that every one of them has. At Bidun Studio Photography we believe that capturing each milestone in a child’s life is extremely important, and we can’t wait to help you with that!

ALLOW KIDS TO BE THEMSELVES

Photographing kids outdoors definitely has many advantages. The outdoor setting is usually very easy going and relaxing allowing kids to be themselves and not feel as if they are forced to sit or stand still while faking a cheesy smile. Kids don’t like to be forced to do certain things, and if their faces showing frowns it definitely won’t look good on the pictures.

Studio children portraits may seem outdated or too posed for someone, but we don’t agree with that. Photographing in studio definitely has a lot of benefits, and we’ve encountered that many times. With studio portraits there is a sense of consistency - well lit, well composed, timeless images that will hang for generations.

At Bidun Studio Photography we keep our studio photoshoots carefree, fun and positive while creating an environment where you and your children can be yourselves.

The best photos are captured when kids are relaxed, that’s why we strongly recommend that they are well rested before the photoshoot. The better both sides prepare for the session, the more successful the whole experience will be. During our pre-consultation, we will create a mood board of images, as well as finalize photoshoot location, discuss outfit ideas and a theme for the child photo session. This way you will have all the necessary information to properly prepare for children photoshoot. We are looking to create a fun experience and produce timeless portraits that will be cherished and passed down for generations. Because we want to capture your children in a natural and playful state, we ask that you prepare according to the location that we picked out with outfits for your child, a few of their favorite toys or props, as well as some snacks. Having the toys and snack there, would serve as a treat for great behavior, after we capture authentic, spontaneous and playful moments. While we require an adult to be present for the entire time the session is in progress, we ask that you disengage. This way we are able to connect with your children and capture their most natural behaviors.

Photographing children can sometimes be a challenging task, since children typically do not like posing for the camera. Bidun Studio Photography has a couple tips that can be beneficial for you when preparing for a successful kids photoshoot. Children behave very differently from adults, and often are unpredictable - that’s why we as professional photographers need to have patience during the photoshoot. With kids being spontaneous and very quick, our Sacramento children photographers need to have their cameras ready at all times. Whenever we photograph children outdoors, we use a 70-200 lens that lets us not come too close to the kids, so they won’t feel the need for fake smiles or weird faces, but instead natural behavior and actions. Photoshooting with this lens allows us to create very natural images with genuine smiles between siblings, which we can capture from a distance. Photoshooting children from your height level won’t give you the best angles in their portraits, but getting down on their level will not only give you amazing portraits, but also help you build a rapport with them.
