A PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR CHILDREN
The missing teeth.
The wild curls.
The way they look at you right now.
Childhood changes fast and it changes quietly. One day you look up and the baby rolls are gone, the lisp has disappeared, and the little one who used to fit in your arms is suddenly asking to do things by themselves.
Simply Me was created for exactly this season. No props. No distractions. No matching outfits to stress over.
Just your child, their spirit, their personality, their right now,
preserved in timeless black and white.
These are not just photographs.
They are artwork. And they are made for your walls, not your camera roll.
Every image is delivered as finished artwork, created to be displayed.
THE experience
What is Simply Me?
A session built around your child
One-on-one. Clean. Simple. No props, no color — just their face, their energy, and the little details that make them them.
Artwork made for your home
After your session, we will sit down to view your images and choose the pieces that belong on your walls.
A moment frozen in time
This season of life is short. Simply Me exists so you don't reach the other side of it wishing you had slowed down and captured it.

What people
are saying about Michael Newman Photography LLC
Michael Newman Photography has worked with our family personally and professionally and always exceeds our expectations! We will continue to use him for all our photography needs! Top notch!!
- Marie F.
Michael Newman photographed my family shortly after the birth of my second born. My toddler was being, well, a toddler and yet Michael managed to capture amazing photos. 11 years later and that is still one of my favorite photo shoots my family has ever had.
- LeeAnn B.
Michael’s photos of our families are some of our most precious possessions. I’m not sure how, but he managed to capture each of our kids’ personalities and, amidst the movement and craziness and chaos of a photo shoot with multiple kids and adults, produced absolutely beautiful and such indescribably important and beautiful images.

Questions?
We've got answers!
DO I PAY ANYTHING TODAY?
No. Filling out this form costs you nothing. It simply lets me know you’re interested so I can reach out, answer your questions,
and walk you through exactly how it works.
HOW OLD DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BE?
Simply Me sessions are designed for children roughly 2–12 years old, but every child is different. Fill out the form and we’ll figure out the fit
together on your call.
WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR?
Simple, solid colors work beautifully in black and white. I’ll give you specific guidance at the consultation but the short version is:
keep it comfortable and don’t stress. This is the one session where the outfit barely matters.
MY CHILD IS SHY OR HIGH-ENERGY. IS THAT OKAY?
Absolutely! The session moves at your child’s pace, not the other way around.
