An Enchanting Experience...

Each session is a delightful adventure, resulting in 12 curated digital images that capture the essence of your child's unique personality. From fairies to bubbles, vintage school days to teddy bear picnics, the possibilities are endless and oh-so-fun!

YOUR CHILD'S STORIES

BROUGHT

TO LIFE


The Story Behind Personality Plus



Personality Plus was born out of my passion for storytelling and my love

for capturing the pure joy and imagination of children. While personality photo

shoots have been gaining popularity, I wanted to offer something even more

special—a truly immersive, storybook experience. These sessions aren't just

about taking pictures; they're about creating magical moments where your child

can be anything they dream of.

What to Expect

Imagination, stories and enchantment, the ingredients for Enchanted childhood photo shoots are all about.

Themes and Ideas

One of the most exciting parts of Personality Plus is choosing a theme

that sparks your child's imagination. Here are a few of my favorites:

Fairy Garden

Picture your little one in her prettiest dress, wandering through a garden where fairies are her friends. It's a whimsical, enchanting experience filled with wonder and joy.

Bubble Fun

Imagine a carefree play session with bubbles everywhere! The joy and laughter are infectious, and the photos are always vibrant and full of life.

Vintage School Day

Retro Cookie Bake

In a retro kitchen, your child can don a chef's hat and bake cookies just like in the old days. It's a deliciously fun way to capture their creativity and culinary skills!

Teddy Bear Picnic

  • A cozy picnic with teddy bears in a beautiful outdoor setting creates a heartwarming scene that's perfect for capturing sweet, candid moments.

Themes and Ideas

One of the most exciting parts of Personality Plus is choosing a theme

that sparks your child's imagination. While I have a few ideas, your child will probably have their own ideas.  It's fun to explore your child's stories and ideas for their special photoshoot.  Together we can create a tale that is uniquely theirs.  

Making a Plan

Once we decide on a theme we will work on props, costumes and lighting the fun begins.  Whether it's a pirate story or a Cinderella remake we will enjoy a time of make believe.  What child doesn't love to play make believe? I think we are never too old for make believe!  While we are planning, we need to choose a location.  Together we will decide where the best location for your child's story will be!

The Big Day!

The big day has finally arrived, and we are ready for a story.  Together we will finish setting the stage with any last minute props.  Then, your child can talk about the story and how they want to pretend.  Either your child can continue the story during the photo shoot, or we will pick out scenes of the story for your child to pretend.  

This is a delightful way to capture some very unique and delightful photo memories of your child. Book a Personality Plus session and capture memories of your child's imagination!



Creating a Comfortable and

Fun Environment

A fantasy photo shoot is what dreams are made of.  A little "fairy" tells her make believe story.
Creating a Comfortable and Fun
Environment

My goal is to make every Personality Plus session a fun, relaxed adventure full of laughter and make-believe. We'll start by chatting about your child's interests—what they love to do, their favorite movies, stories, and more. This helps us tailor the session to their passions and ensures they have a blast during the shoot. They can bring their own props and costumes, or they can choose from my collection.

The Magic of Make-Believe


Engaging with children is one of the best parts of my job. I love hearing

their stories and joining in their make-believe games. Whether we're fairies in

a garden, chefs in a kitchen, or students in a vintage classroom, we become

part of the story together. This playful approach helps capture genuine

expressions and moments, resulting in enchanting photos that reflect your

child's true personality.


Ideal Locations In Tucson

Tucson offers a treasure trove of beautiful locations perfect for

Personality Plus sessions. Depending on the chosen theme, we can explore parks,

gardens, ranches, and more. My home studio is also an option for indoor

sessions. Here are some favorite spots:


Tucson Botanical Gardens: A lush, colorful setting that's perfect for fairy garden and nature-themed sessions.

Reid Park: With its diverse landscapes, this park is ideal for bubble fun and teddy bear picnics.

Ranches: There are so many picturesque locations with vintage charm, perfect for cowboy and vintage-themed sessions.

Agua Caliente Park: If you're looking for palm trees swaying with streams and a lake.


Special Offers and Packages

I understand that capturing memories of multiple children is important for families. That's why I offer a 15% discount for each additional session if you have more than one child. If you prefer a group session, there's a $50 upcharge per additional child, and all the photos will include all the

children. Each session still includes 12 curated digital images, ensuring you have plenty of beautiful moments to cherish.

Happy Clients, Happy Kids


Don't just take my word for it—here's what some of my happy clients have to say:

  • Ashley: "She has such a creative eye and captures the sweet moments between my kiddos. We cherish these pictures so much and look forward to using her for all of our important events and seasons to come."
