A Celebration of Calm Moments in Childhood

The small, and often fleeting, calm moments in childhood offer a glimpse into a child’s inner world. These are the moments when they are completely absorbed in quiet curiosity, free from expectation, and lost in the simple joys of being.

Inspired by my own collection of photographs, Live in Wonder is a growing visual diary of these beautiful, unguarded moments—timeless illustrations capturing childhood’s quiet magic. Perhaps a personal indulgence, but one I hope sparks a nostalgic connection for you, too.

This collection offers glimpses of everyday wonder, preserving the moments that photographs capture but the conscious mind doesn’t always recall.

Why Calm Moments in Childhood Are So Valuable

Calm moments give children space to pause, process emotions, and better understand themselves. In these quiet pockets of time, they learn how to recognize feelings of stress and joy—an invaluable skill for navigating life.

Recognizing what nourishes our hearts helps us move through life’s uncertainties with greater ease. These moments remind us of the beauty around us—and within us. And when children see themselves reflected in these tender illustrations, they feel truly seen, valued just for being who they are. It’s a beautiful reminder of their worth and the joy they bring to the world.

I am so happy with the prints Juliana made of my daughter whilst she played in the woods. The sketch really captures her personality, making this such a unique picture. I also ordered extra prints for family as this makes a wonderful gift.
