Special Unicorn Sessions

3/21/2019

It's almost that time again, time for Little Mother Photography's SPECIAL UNICORN EVENT! This year Snowflake the Unicorn will be in St. James, Missouri for one day only, Sunday, May 5, 2019. Spaces are very limited!

The session includes gallery of 10 high resolution images, wardrobe, makeup, as well as a special treat. Each session will last about 20 minutes, which allows time for photos and time to visit with Snowflake.

People travel far and wide for this annual event. We've had people come in from St. Louis, Springfield, and Jefferson City for the Special Unicorn Event. and we've sold out of spaces each year we've done this event!

Snowflake is a gentle unicorn, perfect for children who want to experience her magic up close. If children are comfortable and Snowflake's handler deems it okay they may be able to climb on his back for some extra-special photos!

I'm always looking for new beautiful dresses, flower crowns and accessories for this event. The wardrobe closet has grown since last year and we'll have some beautiful new looks that we've never photographed with Snowflake before!

Mark your calendar, book your session, we can't wait to see you at the 2019 Special Unicorn Event!

7 Tips for a Magical Unicorn Session

Little Mother Photography is so excited to share our upcoming special sessions: Unicorns! This magical day will be Saturday, April 28, 2018 in St. James. We’re looking all over the globe to find the finest dresses, headpieces, crowns and accessories to make the event even more magical!

Little Mother Photography did our first unicorn sessions last year and they were such a huge success! Last summer we filled up two full days of sessions; families traveled as far as Springfield, and Ozark, Missouri to meet Snowflake! If we were unable to accommodate you last year this is your chance to meet and have a special photography session with Snowflake the Unicorn!

Snowflake is a magnificent and well behaved unicorn, and we’ve never had any issues with her. That being said: working with animals always presents its own challenges, risks, and concerns! Everyone participating in the unicorn session is asked to complete a waiver form, which Little Mother will email you (if we haven’t already!)

7 Tips for Magical Unicorn Photos!

You should know that Snowflake is a deaf unicorn. Her mainly white coat and bright blue eyes, (with irises splashing into the pupil) are very common in deaf animals. Perhaps because of her hearing impairment, Snowflake feels more comfortable when in the company of other horses. She most likely will have a friend (horse) with her during our session this year, be on the lookout for a friendly Clydesdale!
Children should be accompanied by an adult, preferably a member of the Little Mother team whenever approaching Snowflake or her horse friends. We’ll have handlers and assistants on hand to make the interactions as easy and safe as possible.
Everyone needs to be careful not to make any sudden movements or noises. Although Snowflake is deaf and may not hear the noises, her friends aren’t, and we wouldn’t want them to be shocked or scared! Snowflake may surprise you and nuzzle you, or brush her nose against you; it’s best if you’re prepared for this and don’t jump, jerk, or yank your hand away. We also need to be conscious of props and accessories. Swords, shields, flowy dresses, and umbrellas are beautiful and make for fun photos, but we need to be careful and conscious of how they are waved, moved, or even how they flow in the breeze.
Never walk behind a unicorn (or horse). Horse’s vision is limited behind them, and they may get scared or startled if they see something behind them. Their rear legs are extremely strong and may cause harm if kicked or bucked! We want to make the unicorn (and horses) totally aware of our presence, walking in front at all times is always best.
Watch out for unicorn pies! Unlike some of her other unicorn friends, Snowflake does not poop rainbows and sparkles. Watch where you step and avoid any large brown piles!
We will be shooting outside! The most beautiful unicorn photos are shot in the tall grass; which in Missouri of course means the possibility of mud, insects, ticks, plants (poison ivy, oak, etc.), burs, etc. Open toed shoes are super cute, but the child may have to be carried to the unicorn. If you bring your own outfit please know it may get muddy!
Depending on the child’s, parent’s, and, most importantly, the unicorn’s comfort level: children may be able to get on Snowflake’s back! This is not always possible, but when it does happen it can result in some truly magical images. If your child is interested in getting on Snowflake please be sure to arrive early (to get everyone comfortable around each other), warn them that it may not happen (we hate to have their hopes disappointed), and we’ll all try our best to make it happen.

Our special unicorn session includes access to our wardrobe and accessories, time with me (Snowflake), and 8 fully edited magical images with full sharing rights for $225. Additional children (or adults) in the photos are an additional $50 each (and include 2 bonus digital files). (Children under the age of 1 will need an adult in the photo with them, this does NOT cost extra).

Only a few spots remain. Contact us to book your session today! littlemotherphotography@gmail.com.
