Capturing the magic of childhood

 

Remember the sweet innocence of your child in stunning imaginative portraits.

Your children will grow up faster than you expect. 

 

One moment they are learning to crawl, the next moment they are hopping on the school bus.  Your window of opportunity to capture innocence, magic and belief is smaller than you think.  Don't let it get away.

What is Storybook?

Storybook is a series of magically themed portrait sessions for children (and adults in some themes!) that is offered throughout the year on a seasonal basis. Most importantly, it is a photographic partnership with Fox 4's Love Fund for Children here in Kansas City.

 

With your small donation of $50 per child for most sessions, your children can be photographed in a magical Storybook portrait session and your donation is forwarded to Love Fund which has a BIG impact for local children. 

Just imagine...

Sitting down with your children and reading the story of their adventure to them in a beautiful custom-designed album.  

 

Enjoying your favorite portrait of them as a gorgeous fine art painting.

 

Decorating their room with portraits that will remind them they are brave, gentle and magical.

FAQ's


Do we need to have the outfit already?

No, you do not have to go out and buy an outfit for most of our Storybook scenes. We curate a very specific look for each of our scenes and stock a wide range of outfits to create color harmony within the portraits.  When scheduling, we will discuss wardrobe and sizing.  

Can my baby be in this?

The official answer...it depends!  Some of the scenes are not appropriate for babies unless they have someone with them.  We definitely prefer them to be able to sit up on their own with a  strong ability to balance.  

How much does a session cost?

We love coming from a place of giving first (in fact, most of our studio is structured this way). We have partnered with Fox 4's Love Fund for our Storybook sessions and most of the themes are available to you for a $50 donation per child to the Love Fund.

Do I need to have my daughter's hair ready for her fairy session?

Yes, please have your child's hair styled and ready to be polished as we ready them for the scene.  Once we have them in an outfit, we will finish off their look with a choice of fairy flower crowns or hat and we will adjust their hairstyle as needed to look amazing!

My son wants to come with his sister for her fairy session, can he join?

Great!  We have so much fun with boys in our magical forest scenes and have woodland elf outfits waiting for him!

What if my child is scared of Santa?

Not a problem!  With the time we allow per Santa Experience and the way we have set up the interaction, children rarely get the chance to be scared.  Call us if you'd like to chat!

Are there really baby ducks?

Make way for the ducklings!! Yes, baby ducks come and visit the studio in spring for the cutest springtime portraits you've seen!  These adorable, fluffy, web-footed chirping babies are quite the hit with kids and parents!  Just like all our Storybook portraits, we only offer these sessions for a short window but it's more because these babies grow up FAST!  One weekend is all there is each year!

I think I'm almost more excited about the Wizard theme than my daughter is, any chance I can jump in too?

Probably just like you, we grew up with these stories and we find a lot of parents just adore the scene!  That's why we've added professor robes to our wardrobe specifically so you can join in the fun!  And yes, sometimes it's just adults who take advantage of this scene, that's okay too!
