Which Holiday Mini Is Right for Your Family?

 

There isn’t one perfect Christmas session for every family, which is exactly why I love offering a variety of options each holiday season.

If you love something traditional and magical, Santa sessions may be your favorite. If you want something playful and full of personality, look for one of my themed Christmas setups like the VW Bus. For families wanting photos that feel a little more timeless, one of the simpler or outdoor holiday sessions may be the perfect fit.

Are all of the holiday mini sessions at the same location?

Holiday minis are generally designed for individual households and immediate family. I recommend booking sessions back to back for some extended family photos together.
