It's almost that time of year again when Mariah Carey's hit All I Want for Christmas is You takes over! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other family traditions, mini sessions are a great and quick way to bring your family together for a time to remember. This year, I'm keeping it simple, but FUN! The theme for this year is ELEGANCE. You can still come in your Christmas pajamas if you choose, but I would love it if you decided to dress up this year. There are 2 setups to choose from:
Setup 1: Christmas Street Studio Setup Friday & Saturday, Nov. 4th & 5th
This setup includes a more green, Christmas theme backdrop that gives the illusion of being outside. There will also be a special surprise for you and the kiddos to enjoy! For this setup, it's best to wear clothing for winter weather, such as turtle necks, long sleeves, boots, etc. The recommended clothing colors for this setup are green, olive green, cream, tan, gold, brown, or white. Christmas pajamas are still welcome as well. All ages are welcome. Keep in mind that children who are unable to sit unassisted must be held by a parent. This nice and cozy backdrop will give you beautiful and warm Christmas mood for your pictures!
***PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BACKDROP SHOWN IN THE FOLLOWING IMAGE IS THIS YEAR'S BACKDROP.
Setup 2: Red Holiday Room Setup
Saturday & Sunday, Nov. 18th & 19th
I don't want to give too much information away about this setup, but just know it's not your average Christmas setup. The backdrop is pictured below, however there will be some fun decorations and props for the whole family. The accent colors include white and silver in case you want to coordinate your attire with the backdrop. It's best to dress elegant for this setup, however, you are welcome to wear your Christmas pjs if you want. Keep in mind that children who are unable to sit unassisted must be held by a parent.

FAQs
Q: What should we wear? A: As stated before the theme this year is CHRISTMAS ELEGANCE so dress up in your holiday best. However, if you still want to wear Christmas pajamas you are more than welcome to. Recommended clothing colors for Setup 1 are red, white, green, silver or gold. The recommended colors for the second setup are green, olive green, cream, tan, gold, brown, or white.
Q: Are there other Christmas setups besides the ones listed above? A: The setups listed above are the only setups available this year.
Q: Are there other dates and times available for the Christmas Mini Sessions? A: As of now, Christmas Sessions are only available for the dates and times listed. However, once all slots are filled and many people request it, I will consider opening more dates and times. If you're unable to fit these dates into your schedule, feel free to contact me and we can possibly set another date.
Q: How many setups are we allowed to use during our session? A: Clients are allowed to use ONE setup. If you would like to use both setups, please contact me before booking.
Q: What if I have more than 5 family members? A: Immediate families with more than 5 people will need to book back to back slots.
Q: What if I need a longer session? A: If you need a longer session, you are welcome to book back to back slots.
Q: Why are you booking Christmas sessions so early? A: We all know how busy the holiday season is, it's even busier for photographers. Between Thanksgiving, Black Friday shopping, and Christmas shopping, taking your Christmas photos early allows you to check one task off your holiday to-do list. Like I stated in question 3, more dates may open in December, but the initial slots must be filled first.
Q: How long does it take to get the pictures after the session? A: Proofs will be emailed about 5 days after your session. The turnaround time for final images, depends on how many images you end up selecting and my workload. Turnaround time can be up to 3 weeks. But you will have them before Christmas!
When Should I Book? A: Now! Slots are limited and go really fast!
