We have a soft spot in our hearts for families who have adopted internationally.

Because we have, too. Our first daughter, Mira, was born in China. She became ours at eleven months of age. The picture on the left is the photo we got at the time of referral.

When we got home we made a 25-minute movie about the experience. We sent it around to our family and friends. Everybody loved it. Kids loved watching it. Mira did too (and still does).

Because that is the English translation of Mira's Chinese name, Xiaomeng.

Every year or so we would collect the videotapes we had shot and make a new movie. Each one averaged about thirty minutes. Little Dream 2 covered the first eighteen months Mira was home. Little Dream 3 covered ages two to four. And so on.

When people started to suggest that we offer our movie-making services as a business, the name was an easy decision: Little Dream Pictures.


The videotapes from an adoption trip are incredible treasures for your child.

And they will be forever. We would love to help you make them even more of a lasting gift to your child – a movie that tells her or his story in the most compelling way possible.

Groups are welcome.

Some groups who travel to adopt become very close and would like a group movie to celebrate the experience and their relationship. These movies can also strengthen the bond of the children in the group. Contact us for pricing information and other details.

If you are a family waiting for a referral...

...or if you have received your referral and are waiting to travel, and if you would like our recommendations on how to prepare to shoot video of your experience, we have prepared a special page with recommendations on what to shoot and what equipment to use.

Please let us know if this information is helpful, and definitely drop us a line if you have questions that we can help answer.

All our best,

Jaclyn Jeffrey & Edward Craft
