A 60 to 90-minute art activity for 1 to 3 children or the whole family.
All art materials needed for the activity.
A fun and professional photo session.
15–20 high-resolution, edited digital images.

-
Dress for fun and creativity! Your child will be diving into a messy art activity (with safe, non-toxic paint), so we recommend clothing that’s okay to get a little splattered. Don’t worry—most of the paint should wash out. The goal is to let them enjoy the moment, express their creativity, and have a blast. That’s how we capture those truly amazing moments!
-
Your session will take place at a location of your choice! Whether it’s your backyard, a local park, or an indoor playroom, we’ll come to you. Keeping your children in a space they know and feel comfortable in helps us capture their most authentic and joyful moments. Let’s find the perfect spot together!
-
Our art activity and photoshoot typically last between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the package you choose. To ensure a seamless experience, we'll arrive 30–40 minutes beforehand for setup.
Paul will handle the setup for the shoot, ensuring optimal lighting and safety around all equipment. Danielle will prep the art activity, ready to kick things off right at our start time!
This thorough preparation allows us to focus entirely on capturing your child’s joy and creativity during the session, making it a memorable experience for everyone involved!
-
This is where Danielle’s expertise as an early childhood educator really shines! If your child is feeling a bit off or needs some extra time, we’re more than happy to accommodate. We understand that kids can have varying moods, so we’ll work with them to ensure they’re in a positive space before continuing with the art activity and photoshoot.
-

After your session, you’ll receive an initial gallery of proof images to review and make your selections within 72 hours. From there, you can make your final choices. Each session includes a set number of digital images, and any additional digital images can be licensed for $25 each.
Once you’ve made your selections, Paul will work his magic and deliver your polished, edited photos within 5 days. You’ll also have the option to purchase prints or one of our custom packages from these final edits.
We're committed to providing you with beautiful, lasting memories in a timely manner. -
We love pets and understand they’re an important part of the family! However, each package includes a predetermined number of family members, and we kindly request that pets stay indoors during the session to protect them from the paint and camera gear. Our main focus is always on capturing the children’s joy and creativity, and pets can sometimes distract from that. But if you’d like a special family photo with your furry friends, we’d be happy to discuss options for a separate session!
-
Absolutely! We’d love to help you design the perfect display for your home.

We love children, and our goal is to make them feel at ease from the very beginning. To help build trust, we offer a complimentary ZOOM call to answer all your questions and outline what to expect.

We’re all about creating a positive, welcoming experience right from the start!

“We loved our photo session with Danielle and Paul. My kids normally need a lot of time to warm up and (my toddler especially) are generally not interested in posing for photos. However, they were so excited to play, paint, spray, etc., that they opened up right away! Danielle interacted with my kids so sweetly and was so helpful in getting them into the process. Paul captured the joy my babies exude when they’re having fun (that I never want to forget). We got some great pictures that we will treasure forever and also had a wonderful afternoon.”
“Paul and Danielle are an amazing team and working with them was a fun experience. My daughter loved the art activity setup Danielle planned. It was engaging and interesting for her and met her developmental needs/stage. And once we got to see the final results of what Paul captured on camera, let’s just say my husband and I were more than pleased. Capturing our daughter in a natural state of play is such a wonderful concept for a children’s photography shoot. Paul did a wonderful job getting shots of her expressions, action shots, and even a few of mother and daughter together. We fell in love with every picture taken and could not be happier that we got to have this experience with Paul and Danielle. I would definitely recommend doing this to any parent who wants a unique spin on a children’s professional photography shoot.”
