Professional portrait sessions for kids that are actually fun.

Caught Cheesin' is a 20-minute kids portrait mini session built around how kids actually are — WIGgly, giggly, and completely themselves. Professional photos. Custom illustrations.

Zero "say cheese" energy.

I'm Jamie — Chief Chaos Officer at Corvus Creative, mom to the world's cheekiest, spiciest 3-year-old, and the person who's going to get your kid to smile like they mean it.

I've spent 20+ years as a creative director on set with the biggest kids and family brands in the business. Happy Baby, Pampers, Lalo — brands that don't have time for meltdowns and neither do I. I know how to make an authentic, vibrant portrait of a real kid, because I've been doing it professionally longer than most kids have been alive.

Caught Cheesin' is what happens when I bring all of that on-set expertise to your family. Fast sessions, real energy, zero forced smiles. I've worked with every personality type — the wild ones, the shy ones, the ones currently hiding behind your leg. Nobody holds in a smile forever. Especially not around me. 🧀

Then I take your favorites and turn them into something completely one-of-a-kind — custom hand-drawn illustrations built around your kid specifically. Not a filter. Not a template. A whole gouda thing.
