Unicorn Sessions & A Little Bit of Magic

There’s something timeless about watching a child meet a unicorn for the first time.

These sessions are never rushed. They’re quiet, intentional, and filled with genuine wonder — the kind that makes kids forget the camera is even there. Whether it’s a child gently holding onto a flowing gown or reaching out to touch Drifter’s mane, the moments unfold naturally, and that’s where the magic lives.

Love getting brother in for unicorn sessions!

A Unicorn Experience, Not Just a Photoshoot

Unicorn sessions are designed to feel immersive. From selecting gowns to walking together toward the unicorn, each step is part of the experience. Children aren’t posed into fantasy — they step into it.

One of my favorite parts of these sessions is watching siblings share the moment together. Unicorns aren’t “just for girls.” Brothers, sisters, parents — everyone becomes part of the story, and the joy is always shared.

Why These Sessions Are So Special

Unicorn sessions are about more than costumes or themes. They’re about:

  • Imagination

  • Confidence

  • Slowing down

  • Letting kids be fully present

Every session is photographed with patience and intention, allowing real emotion to lead the way.

Creating Magic That Feels Real

Drifter has a calm, gentle presence that instantly puts children at ease. That trust allows moments to happen organically — quiet smiles, laughter, and expressions that can’t be staged.

These are the kinds of images families return to years later, not because they’re whimsical — but because they’re real.

A Note for Families Considering a Unicorn Session

Unicorn sessions can be booked as:

  • Seasonal offerings

  • Or as private, full experiences with extended time, custom styling, and location flexibility

Details and availability change throughout the year, and I always recommend planning ahead.
