EXPLORE THIS STORY
Little Wonders
For children who still believe ordinary things can become extraordinary.
A story built around imagination, curiosity, and the tiny pieces of magic they notice before the rest of us do.
Build Your Story
Every story begins with a little wonder.
Little Wonders is made for the years when imagination still shapes the way children see the world around them.
Together, we’ll choose the landscape, colors, clothing, little details, and activities that feel most like your child.
There are no wrong combinations here.
These choices are simply the beginning—a way to gather the pieces of a story that will ultimately be created around your family.
Chapter One
Where will the story unfold?
Begin with the landscape. Choose the kind of scenery you imagine surrounding your family, and we’ll find a location that brings that vision to life.
Choose one.
Chapter Two
Choose the color story.
Color helps the entire story feel connected without asking everyone to match.
Choose one.
Chapter Three
What might everyone wear?
Think color, movement, texture, and clothing your child can still run, climb, twirl, explore, and play in.
Choose one direction.
Chapter Four
Add the little things.
Choose the objects and details that feel most connected to the world you are beginning to imagine.
Choose as many as you love.
Chapter Five
What will we do together?
The activity gives the story movement and something natural to unfold around.
Choose one or two favorites.
Chapter Six
What kind of atmosphere draws you in?
We cannot control the forecast, but we can decide how willing we are to embrace it. Choose the conditions you would be happy to welcome if the weather gives them to us.
Rain, fog, dramatic clouds, and cooler temperatures are often more likely during spring and winter, but no specific condition can ever be guaranteed.
Choose as many as you would genuinely embrace.
Chapter Seven
Add the finishing touches.
These optional choices help shape how your completed story looks and feels.
Choose as many as you love.
Your Story So Far
A little world built around them.
These choices are not a shot list or finished plan. They are the beginning of our conversation and a way for me to understand what you are imagining.
Questions
A few things you might be wondering.
Every family—and every story—is different. Here are a few of the questions I hear most often before a Little Wonders session.
What if my child won't cooperate?
Honestly, that's exactly who these sessions were designed for.
I don't expect children to smile on command or sit perfectly still. We'll give them something to discover, build, chase, collect, imagine, or explore instead. Those real moments almost always become the photographs families treasure most.
Do we have to bring all of the props?
Not at all.
The Build Your Story guide is inspiration, not a shopping list. We'll decide together what makes sense for your story, and many sessions need nothing more than the landscape and your family.
What if I can't decide between ideas?
You don't have to.
The builder simply helps us discover what you're naturally drawn to. We'll refine everything together after you inquire, and sometimes the best stories become a combination of several ideas.
Can Little Wonders work for maternity or couples?
Absolutely.
While Little Wonders was inspired by childhood, the same playful, nostalgic feeling can beautifully shape maternity, couples, or even anniversary sessions. Think picnics, kites, balloons, wildflowers, and slow evenings together.
What if the weather changes?
Sometimes the weather becomes part of the story.
We can adjust locations, embrace cloudy skies, splash through puddles, or simply reschedule if conditions become unsafe. Some of my favorite photographs happened because we stopped trying to fight the forecast.
What happens after I click "Tell Me About Your Story"?
Once you inquire, I'll read through everything you've built and get to know the story you're imagining.
We'll refine your ideas together, talk through locations if you're still deciding, make wardrobe suggestions if you'd like them, and shape the session around your family—not around a checklist.
The builder isn't a contract or a shot list. It's simply the beginning of our conversation.
