At Little Lore, we believe the most powerful stories aren’t just seen — they’re felt. A multimedia family session blends photography, video, and sound to preserve not just how your family looks right now, but how this season of life truly feels. It’s an immersive, layered approach to memory-making that turns fleeting everyday moments into heirlooms you can return to again and again.

This Isn’t Traditional Family Photography

In a traditional session, you might expect posed smiles, coordinating outfits, and a few favorite images for the holiday card. A multimedia session offers something more: unscripted motion, ambient sound, laughter, breath, the squeak of a swing set, the rustle of sheets during a morning snuggle. It captures the small, sensory details that make your family yours.

Rather than posing you, we observe and document. A typical session might include breakfast unfolding in your kitchen, puddle jumping after a rainstorm, or quiet moments rocking a newborn to sleep. It’s candid, gentle, and deeply real.

The Three Layers of a Little Lore Session

 1. Still Photography

Timeless, documentary-style images that honor light, shape, and emotion. Delivered in both color and black and white.

 2. Subtle Video Clips

Short, atmospheric clips that capture movement — hair blowing in the wind, fingers trailing through water, arms wrapping around shoulders.

3. Real-Life Sound

Soft giggles, whispered stories, footsteps down the hall. Optional audio overlays might include parent letters or children reading a favorite book aloud.

Together, these layers create a keepsake that plays like memory itself: nonlinear, sensory, and full of heart.

Why Sound Matters in a Family Heirloom

Photos freeze time. Video brings it to life. But sound is what anchors it in memory.

The cadence of your child’s voice, the lullaby you always sing, the way they say your name when they still can’t quite pronounce it — these are the details that fade fastest. By including ambient and intentional sound, we create a keepsake that doesn’t just show your story — it lets you feel it.

What You Receive After Your Session

Every multimedia session includes:

• A full gallery of edited still images in color and black & white
• A short cinematic film blending motion and audio
• A private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and sharing

 Is This Right for My Family?

Multimedia storytelling is perfect for families who value presence over perfection. You don’t need a perfectly styled home or camera-ready kids. You just need a willingness to slow down and be yourselves.

These sessions work beautifully for:

• Newborns
• Several sessions during your baby’s first year
• Family weekends on Cape Cod, Nantucket, or Martha’s Vineyard
• New York City families looking for a multi-faceted documentation of their family life
• Multi-generational storytelling (including grandparents)
• Seasonal chapters like birthdays, snow days, and summer rituals

If you want to remember the sound of your child’s voice or the light in their room at bedtime, this is for you.
