Kid Personality Portraits... Colour Photos or Black and White?
Which do you prefer?
I know I also have a hard time choosing between a modern black-and-white portrait of my children and a colour image. For that reason, I've decided to include both the colour and black-and-white versions of each file — so you don’t have to choose! Win-win!
The choice between colour and black-and-white portraits of your children is deeply personal and often influenced by your individual style. Colour photographs vividly showcase the unique traits of a child — like their bright blue eyes or curly hair — adding warmth and depth to their personality. For many parents, capturing these distinct features in vibrant colour is a way to celebrate their child’s individuality.
A great word to describe kids’ black-and-white personality portraits is timelessness. Black-and-white photos have a classic and enduring quality that can make them feel like works of art. For some parents, the absence of colour enhances the emotional impact of the image, allowing them to focus on the expressions, gestures, and details that make their child unique. Others simply prefer the aesthetic of black-and-white photography, finding it more elegant, sophisticated, or refined than colour images. The simplicity and minimalism of black-and-white portraits can highlight the beauty of a child’s features and create a sense of intimacy between the subject and the viewer.
Both styles are beautiful and meaningful in their own way. Ultimately, it’s up to each family to decide which approach best captures the essence of their child — and, most importantly, which one deserves a special place on the wall!
