There's nothing more mysterious and beautiful than the pregnant female form. Maternity sessions are best photographed early in the third trimester. Ask about our New-Life combination sessions.
Newborn Photography in Red Deer
The ideal time for newborn portraits is during the first 9 days after birth. Your baby will rapidly lose the adorable signs of newborn infancy; the fetal positioning, the wrinkled skin, the tiny hands and feet and the tendency to sleep a lot. They grow so fast! Capture their newness before it has past. Bring your favorite outfits, hats, blankets and props to personalize your session. We welcome your ideas and inspiration and look forward to creating a unique set of images that will be uniquely yours.
Baby Photography in Red Deer
During the baby's first year there are amazing milestones to record. At 3 months your baby is now wide-eyed and starting to smile. At 6 months your child is interacting, sitting up on her own, and looks adorable in hats. At 9 months your crawler is exploring and on the move, but not yet walking. At one year your baby is standing and walking with or without support - he's practically a toddler! Capture these important moments with Traptow Photography’s custom portraiture services.
Children's Photography in Red Deer
Children's portraiture is where art and the unexpected moments come together.

This relaxed sitting is designed to encourage candid moments and reveal your child's true personality.
