Ellicott City Child Photographer | K. Carey Photography
Welcome to K. Carey Photography.
I create portraits of children that are authentic and deeply personal in Ellicott City, Maryland.
My work goes beyond snapshots. Each portrait session is relaxed and guided with care, using natural light and simple direction to reveal your child’s true essence. The result is timeless artwork that families in Howard County cherish for generations—portraits designed for the wall, the album, and the heart.
Childhood moves quickly. A portrait preserves what time cannot.
How It Works—With You (and Your Child) in Mind
Refined. Guided. Always intentional.
- Step 1 – Reserve Your Session
- Choose your date. I’ll take it from there.
- Step 2 – Style with Ease
- You’ll receive a printed guide to help you prepare and feel confident.
- Step 3 – A Quiet, Thoughtful Session
- Child-led and pressure-free, focused entirely on authentic expression.
- Step 4 – The Artwork Reveal
- You’ll view a curated slideshow of finished portraits. All digital portraits included in your commission are yours to keep. I’ll guide you in selecting the artwork piece that best fits your home, whether that’s a framed print, a box of fine art prints, or an album.
- Step 5 – Artwork You’ll Treasure
- Each Portrait Commission includes both digital portraits and printed artwork. Packages range from $500 to $850, and many families choose to expand with framed pieces, a handcrafted box, or an album, bringing their total investment closer to $1,000 or more.
Why it Matters
A portrait isn’t just a picture—it’s a way to hold onto this moment in your child’s life before it becomes a memory. My goal is to create portraits that feel timeless, meaningful, and worthy of display for years to come.
I focus on creating high-end children’s portraits that feel timeless and deeply personal. These images are designed to be statement pieces in your home. Every detail, from natural light to elegant composition to how your prints are delivered, is thoughtfully chosen to create artwork you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
