Not Just Their Name — Their Very Own Adventure
Every story is created around the photographs you provide. Each book is individually hand-designed — not simply made from a standard template. Expressions, poses, characters and surroundings are carefully brought together page by page, making your child a natural part of the adventure.
Choose an adventure your child will love
and their own photographs become part of the story itself. They don't simply read the adventure — they become part of it.
Once your order, payment, photos and personalization details are received, I’ll begin creating your child’s personalized story. If any additional information or photographs are needed, I’ll contact you by email.

Questions You May Have
Here are a few things you may be wondering before we begin creating your child’s story.
How is my child’s personalized book created? Each personalized book is individually designed and hand-edited. Your child’s photographs are carefully selected, edited and blended into the story using professional graphic and digital software. I combine photography, digital editing, illustration and mixed-media fantasy images and scenes to create each page. Every composition is personally arranged, adjusted and refined so your child becomes a natural part of the story. This is a hands-on creative process that takes time and careful attention to detail. Each book is created individually for one child rather than produced through an instant or automated process.
​Will my child really appear in the story? Yes. I use your child’s own photographs and carefully bring them into each story scene, making your child a real part of the adventure rather than simply adding their name to a pre-designed character.
Is it difficult to take the photos? Not at all. Each story has its own easy-to-follow Photo Guide showing the poses and expressions needed. You can take the photographs at home with a phone or camera.
Do I need professional photographs? No. Clear photographs taken with a smartphone are perfectly suitable. The Photo Guide will help you with positioning, lighting and the photographs needed for your chosen story.
Can I return a personalized book? Because every book is individually created and printed especially for your child, personalized books cannot normally be returned or exchanged, except in the case of a printing defect or damage during delivery.
Can siblings be included? Potentially yes, depending on the story. Additional children require additional custom artwork, so we can eventually establish an extra-person charge.
Are my child’s photographs kept private? ​Yes. Your child’s photographs are used only for creating their personalized DrawingWings book and are never shared publicly or used for promotional purposes without the parent or guardian’s permission. Your child’s privacy is very important to DrawingWings. If I would ever like to feature a finished book or image as an example on the DrawingWings website or social media, I will always ask for your permission first.
What will my child’s finished book be like? Your child’s personalized story will be professionally printed as a 10 × 8-inch landscape paperback book with 10 beautifully illustrated story pages with your child's photographs. High-quality paper, vibrant full-colour printing and professional binding give the finished book a beautiful, polished feel — a special keepsake made to be enjoyed and treasured.
Can I reorder another copy of my child's book? Yes. Additional copies of your child’s completed book can be reordered within 3 months of your original order. I keep the completed book files during this period, making it easy to order another copy for grandparents, family members or as a special keepsake. Completed personalized book files are kept for 3 months after your original order to allow for reorders. After this period, the files may be permanently deleted.
