Family Christmas mini sessions are happening this weekend--invoice balances have been sent out! I'm SO excited for these! These are great for dressing up in Christmas' best or dressing in pajamas with the classic cozy Christmas vibe. As per usual with this time of year, I've been swamped with fall photos so I haven't gotten my favorite little model to step in for some sample images yet. I will work on this even though most of you likely already have your outfits. No judgement to the procrastinators out there ;)

The sessions this fall have been SO good!! Partly the phenomenal weather and 95% the people in front of the camera having so much fun with me! This senior was not only gorgeous, but so sweet! I'm excited to see where she goes from here. Perhaps a side gig in modeling??

It's time to book the messiest, and possibly most fun, holiday cookie sessions!! You all know by now that I'm a tad crazy and this post is proving that point. After the votes on which backdrop to go with this year, I've decided to offer TWO.

SATURDAY the 21st will be the beloved classic red and brown that I offered for many years and still adore.

SUNDAY the 22nd will be the white backdrop used last year that added the bright white kitchen many love.

If you end up booking the wrong date with the wrong backdrop, it's really ok. You can't go wrong!!! I haven't had any children go home from these wishing they didn't do them with any set I've ever offered. 🤣

These are 15 minute sessions with plenty of time in between each session for me to scrub the tables and floors and wash the dishes. I'm a germ freak and like everything to be clean for each client that comes. These include all your digital files and cookies to eat at the end for $250. See you all soon!!!

Help me pick a cookie backdrop for this year's cookie mini sessions! Do we go back to the OG background with dark brown and pops of red (labeled #1)? The neutral kitchen (labeled #2)? Or the white kitchen with greenery from last year (labeled #3)? I love them all! Chocolate chips will be included no matter which drop we choose because the kiddos love eating the chocolate! Last year we added a gingerbread base to the dough that smelled so good. The gingerbread decor was adorable and I'd be happy to bring it back out. Let me know what you hope to see this year so we can get these booking! These are some of my favorite interactive messy/fun Christmas photos to include grandparents and cousins!!!

Santa is coming to town!! This is the official booking post!

November 14th from 9-10am in 10 minute increments. The set shown is from last year. Santa Bill is incredible with children!! I suspect this will sell out quickly based on interest shown with my last posting. Thank you for sharing with your friends and family and making these special events so successful!
