In case we haven't met...

Hi there, I’m Naomi! Capturing photos that become treasured keepsakes is my passion.

I’ve learned over the years that kids don’t need to be told to “smile”—a little silliness and gentle guidance bring out their personality. Every child responds differently, and that’s part of the beauty: shy smiles, curious eyes, wide grins, or belly laughs.

Teens often bring a more thoughtful or artistic energy, and I love creating portraits that reflect that too.

More than anything, I hope these photos help you celebrate your child exactly as they are.

How to LOOK YOUR BEST

We will be photographing against a white backdrop, so if your kiddo wears white, they may end up looking like they have a floating head. 😆 For that reason, avoid any white or pastel colors that don't offer enough contrast to the white background.

Dress your child in a nice, clean Paloma approved outfit.

Colors that work especially well are jewel tones and medium-toned clothing. Pastels and darker clothing don't shine quite as much against the white backdrop.

Accessories like necklaces, bows, bracelets, or even favorite stuffies (especially for the younger students!) are great and will infuse personality into your photos.

Make sure they've done their hair before they leave for school. We will have assistants on the lookout for messed up hair, boogers on noses, and leftover breakfast or drool on faces, but it's always good to have a final check at home!
