Christmas Sessions FAQ

How does payment work?

The full $399 is paid when you book to reserve your spot. Want to split it into 2 payments? Just reach out and I’ll set up a payment plan for you, with the second half due before your session.

When are the sessions?

Saturday, November 28, 2026. Session times are offered between 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Only 10 family spots are offered.

How much do they cost?

$399, including a 15-minute session, both backdrops, and 5 digital images. (BONUS! 5 extra digital images at no cost if you sign up before October 25, 2026)

What kind of photos will I get?

These are classic family portraits, with everyone looking at the camera. I’ll focus on the whole family and move quickly through a few poses.

Looking for candid, storytelling images or solo portraits? A full family session is a better fit for that.

Will we use both backdrops?

Yes. Every family is photographed with The Old English Christmas and The Wreath Nook.

Who can participate?

Christmas Mini Sessions are designed for one immediate family household (parents/guardians and their children).

Extended family members, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and additional family households, are not included in a single booking.

If you’d like to include extended family, please contact us before booking to discuss available options.

Please note: Only the family members included in your reservation may participate in the session. Additional guests cannot be accommodated on the day of your session.

When will we receive our photos?

Within 10 days of the session.

What if we arrive late?

Please arrive a few minutes early, ready to be photographed. Late arrivals lose time from their scheduled session. Sessions cannot be extended. Missing the entire scheduled time means forfeiting the session. No refunds are provided for late arrivals or missed sessions.

Can I bring my pet?

Yes, pets are welcome! 🐾 There is an additional $25 pet fee.
