Despite the proliferation of camera phones and editing software, there’s still something special about the image quality and creative composition of professional photography.
“That doesn’t ever lose its value over time,” Carly Urbach of Carly Urbach Photography said. “There is definitely a difference.”
It’s important to put young subjects—and their parents—at ease, Urbach said. Her Dundee studio, which she expanded last year, boasts natural lighting and numerous options for seasonal, creative, and traditional backgrounds for every subject and any occasion. The studio is pet-friendly, so four-legged family members can be included in portraits. Urbach encourages multiple outfits to maximize a session, and children are welcome to bring favorite toys and other props that tell a story about their interests.
“It makes their experience better,” Urbach said.
Urbach said she is always willing to try new ideas and fun trends like recreating old family photos with adult siblings or photographing children in the same or similar outfits worn by a parent or grandparent in a treasured photo for inclusion in a side-by-side display.
