Our story all began with a desire to blend artisanal set design with the world of family photography. We strive to provide our community with an alternative to balloon arches and printed backdrops.

Nice to meet you…

  • "Little Birdie Studios has such creative ideas and knows how to bring them to life. They make the studio feel welcoming and put you at ease throughout the session. Their guidance is clear and encouraging, which makes the whole experience enjoyable and the photos truly special! "

  • "Little Birdie Studios was hands-down the best photo session I've experienced for my children. These things are always so stressful for parents, since children are invariably nervous and shy during professional photo sessions. But Chris and Mindy made the atmosphere so kid-friendly. They had toys for the kids and fun things for them to do, and they were so lively and engaging. We left the session so happy, and the kids still talk about how much fun they had. I live almost two hours away, and I will make the drive every single time."
