The Little Story Sessions at Asher’s Sandbox
A playful indoor portrait experience for families who want beautiful, personality-filled portraits without the pressure of a traditional session.
Raise your paw 🐾 if you’re ready for fun!
Designed for children, parents, siblings, and families who want portraits that feel relaxed, connected, and true to who they are.
Because the little things are the big things.
The way they reach for your hand.
The way they lean into you when they feel safe.
The tiny expressions, big personalities, quiet moments, wild giggles, and everything in between.
Little Stories at Asher’s Sandbox is a cozy indoor portrait experience designed to capture your family in a way that feels natural, playful, and meaningful.
No stiff posing.
No forced smiles.
No pressure to perform.
Just your family, exactly as you are in this season.
A space where kids can be kids.
Asher’s Sandbox gives families a warm, playful indoor setting where children can explore, settle in, and feel comfortable before and during their portraits.
This is especially beautiful for children who need a little time to warm up, sensory-sensitive children, shy children, energetic children, or families who simply want a portrait experience that feels easier and more relaxed.
Instead of asking your child to sit still and smile on command, we’ll create portraits through connection, play, movement, and quiet little moments.
Not just portraits of your children — portraits of your connection.
These sessions are for the whole family.
We’ll capture your children as they are right now, but we’ll also create the portraits parents are so often missing from their walls — the ones where you are actually in the frame with them.
The snuggles.
The hand-holding.
The little looks.
The way your family feels together.
These are the images that become heirlooms.
This experience is perfect for families who…
Want beautiful portraits but dread stressful photo sessions
Have children who need space to warm up
Want something more meaningful than basic snapshots
Love a playful, relaxed environment
Want portraits that feel emotional, not overly posed
Are interested in creating artwork for their home
Want to be guided through the entire process
How the experience works
Step 1 – Start Your Inquiry
Fill out a short form so I can learn more about your family, your children, and what you’re hoping to create.
Once your inquiry is submitted, you’ll be directed to schedule a quick call so we can make sure the experience is a good fit and choose the next step.
Step 2 – In-Home Consultation
Before your session, I’ll come to your home for a personal consultation. This is where we’ll talk through your family, your children, what to expect at the session, and anything helpful I should know to make the experience feel comfortable and relaxed.
We’ll also look at your space together and talk about where you may want to enjoy your portraits — whether that’s a statement piece, a gallery wall, an album, or meaningful gifts for family.
Step 3 – Your Little Stories Session
Your family will be photographed indoors at Asher’s Sandbox in a relaxed, playful, and child-led way.
This session is designed to give children space to warm up, explore, connect, and be themselves while still creating beautiful portraits of your family.
Step 4 – Artwork Ordering Appointment
After your session, we’ll meet again for your private ordering appointment. I’ll guide you through choosing your favorite images and deciding how you’d love to enjoy them in your home.
From framed artwork to albums, gift prints, and custom portrait collections, you’ll leave with finished pieces instead of another folder of photos waiting to be printed someday.
