Magic Pics specialises in family photography in Lisburn. Miss Once’s invite-only Magic Sessions create empowering, handcrafted portraits that celebrate your child as the hero of their story.
Magic Pics is a Lisburn-based specialist in family photography, run by Miss Once — a teacher at Downshire Primary School in Hillsborough who brings a calm, child-centred approach to every session. As a specialist in family and children portraiture, Miss Once understands how a thoughtful photograph can shape a child’s sense of self. Her mission is simple: to make children feel beautiful and powerful by creating portraits and handcrafted visual stories families will proudly display at home. What sets Magic Pics apart is the combination of teaching experience and a storytelling mindset. Sessions — called Magic Sessions — are intentionally small and invite-only, allowing for a relaxed and playful atmosphere where children can be themselves. Using gentle direction, imagination, and a light touch, Miss Once helps shy or camera‑wary kids blossom in front of the lens. The result is natural, expressive portraits that capture personality and confidence rather than staged poses. The process is personal and deliberate. Magic Sessions begin with a simple invite to ensure each family receives focused attention. With only a limited number of spaces available, sessions are crafted as mini experiences rather than rushed photoshoots. Parents can expect a warm, encouraging environment where collaboration matters: you’ll share the story you want to tell, and Miss Once will translate that into images designed to become cherished wall art and bedtime memories. Magic Pics prioritises images that do more than document — they build lifelong confidence. Each portrait is treated as part of a handcrafted story featuring your child as the hero, creating visuals that reinforce how loved and capable they are. Based in Lisburn, Magic Pics brings this gentle, intentional approach to local families who want portraits with meaning and heart. If you’re looking for a family photographer who specialises in children’s confidence, storytelling portraits, and a relaxed, invite-only experience, Magic Pics offers thoughtful, beautifully crafted sessions designed to celebrate your family.
