the artists behind personality

Established in 2013, Little Personality™ pioneered the personality method that’s inspired photographers around the world.
Little Personality™ and Personality Pop-Up™ were created by husband-and-wife founders Marie Connolly and Jonathan Connolly®, the original category designers of the "personality" niche within children's photography.
What began in 2013 as a simple series of portraits of their son Jack on a clean white backdrop quickly grew into a movement in children’s photography centered around authentic expression, emotion, and individuality.
Today, Personality Pop-Up™ brings that vision to families nationwide through a carefully trained team of photographers, while Little Personality™ offers a more elevated and exclusive experience with a playful, fashion-forward, editorial feel designed to take personality portraiture to another level.
Photographed by select master level photographers from their team, Little Personality™ creates space for children to move freely, express themselves naturally, and build confidence through play, creativity, and self-expression.
Easy On Moms. Fun For Kids.
Little Personality™ is a playful portrait experience for your child and a calm, relaxed studio experience for you.
We believe personality is more than a perfect smile or a posed headshot. The most meaningful portraits happen when children feel free to play, explore, laugh, and simply be themselves.
That’s why our philosophy is simple:
Let Them Be...
Wild. Silly. Shy. Sweet. Serious. Sassy. Curious. Loud. Quiet.
Every stage deserves to be remembered exactly as it is.
We never force smiles, stiff poses, or awkward expressions. Instead, we create an environment where children can feel comfortable enough to show who they really are because the moments parents treasure most are usually the ones they never planned for.
Your child’s little looks and big personality change so fast. Our mission is to authentically capture the essence of your child's little personality. So relax. Let them play. Let them move. Let them be... little.
Capturing the essence of your child's little personality.
FAQ
HOW MANY KIDS ARE ALLOWED?
Each session is ideal for 1-2 kids (ages 6mo-18yrs). If you have 3-4 children we recommend booking an additional session but it is not required. If you don't see any back-to-back sessions available, please contact us directly.
What about SIBLING photos?
If time allows we will attempt to get all the siblings together at the end of your session. However, we can't always guarantee full group cooperation but we'll give it our best!
What about Image editing?
All of your images will go through a signature image editing process that includes cropping, lighting adjustments, and color correction.
Do you offer prints or wall art?
Yes. We offer a wide range of beautiful matte prints and custom wall art that can be ordered directly from your private gallery. We highly recommend printing from our professional lab to ensure your images are crisp, sharp, color-accurate, and made from the highest quality archival material.

We highly recommend neutral tones or soft colors without graphics. Keep it simple and timeless. After booking your session we can send you a mood board along with some additional tips.
WHAT TO Bring?
Wipes and chapstick are great for young ones - maybe one favorite toy/lovey, etc.
