CHRISTMAS UPDATE - 2 sets about to sell out
(Please share and tag friends)

I have 4 Christmas setups this year. Here's where we're at:

✈️ CANDY CANE AIRPLANE // The Green Menace Has Landed
This is NOT a backdrop. It's a real, functioning white & red striped airplane in a hangar in Anna, TX. Looks exactly like a candy cane and kids LOVE IT when they see it.

This isn't sit-and-smile - they actually interact with The Green Menace. Real belly laughs. If a little one is scared, we have no problem showing them it's just a mommy in a costume so they know it's all in good fun.

Santa decided to join us as well, so these will mainly be with the Green Menace, but kids can get a photo with Santa too.

Plus I have a secret surprise for this set I can't post because it would ruin it - but it gets plenty of different expressions, big smiles and big laughs.

📅 Nov 1 - Anna, TX - 1:00 start
💰 $300 | 10 images | $100 to hold, $200 day of
🚨 ONLY 2 SPACES LEFT

🐮 TEXAS REINDEER CHRISTMAS with BONNIE the Highland Cow
If you did this last year you already know. If you didn't - it's Bonnie, a real, live, fluffy Highland Cow, plus my western cow print decor: red livestock trailer fully decorated, flocked tree with cowhide ornaments, cowboy hat tree topper, cowhide rug, cowhide & leather pillows on hay bale seating, real saddle. We can even put Christmas lights on her horns.

📅 Nov 7 - Denison, Texas - 3:00 start
💰 $250 | 10 images | $50 to hold
🚨 ONLY 1 SPACE LEFT @ 4:40

🎅 MAGICAL SANTA EXPERIENCE - Santa's Christmas Express with SANTA DALE - KIDS ONLY
My most requested every single year for a reason. Santa Dale is BACK. He doesn't just sit there - he talks with the kids, tells stories, gets those genuine expressions. And mamas - if they cry? We have a plan. Those become keepers too.

Polar Express inspired train setting, each kid keeps their golden ticket souvenir, and yes - we are keeping up with our tradition where they grab instruments and sing a Christmas song with Santa (you can record it on your phone).

NEW THIS YEAR: I bought a snow machine. We're doing REAL falling snow in the studio. Plus a second secret surprise for Santa I can't spill yet, but it's going to get plenty of different expressions, big smiles and big laughs from the KIDS.

📅 Nov 14 & Nov 21 - Howe studio - 11am start. Assigned times.
💰 $175 | 7 images (regular or fine art/storybook) | $50 to hold, $125 day of
Nov 14 - 2 spaces | Nov 21 - 1 space

❄️ FAMILY CHRISTMAS or SNOW BABY
Neutral, snow-covered studio setting so literally any outfit works - red & green, sweaters and jeans, coats/hats/scarves/gloves, dressy - all works. Perfect for sitters/toddlers too for a Snow-Baby session.

NEW: Real falling snow in here too with the new snow machine.

📅 Featured: Saturday Nov 28 - Thanksgiving weekend so perfect if you have family in town. Also available other dates as private sessions if you need a different day - just ask. I'm booking this set all November wherever I have availability.
📍 Howe, TX studio
💰 $175 | 7 images (regular or fine art/storybook) | Immediate family price, extended is extra | $50 to hold, $125 day of

Time for more Fall previews.... The Ewton's are another favorite family that I always look forward to seeing! Amanda and the boys have been coming to see me for years.....(I'd have to go back to count how many!) ...and after all this time, daddy, Josh, finally joined in! 🥳 He should join them more often. Love how their family shots turned out, and the boys on the swing....it was all so fun!

The Helm family (another one of my favorite families) had their Fall Family photo session recently! I aways love the genuine smiles and interactions we get with the kids. This family keeps things real, and I love it! It was so hard to choose previews to share, but here are a few of my favorites!

Ashton turned 7 and we had a birthday photo session with a hunting theme. He was having so much fun so we just kept on shooting until we didnt have enough light left!

I can do Birthday sessions at any time... In studio, or outdoors! I have so many themes to choose from or tell me what you have in mind and we can plan together!

I still have a few spaces left for Christmas sessions. ONE more space for the Highland Cow, Santa has a few more openings on Nov 14 and 21 with our in studio Polar Express inspired setting. Our Grinch INSPIRED Candy Cane Airplane has 2 more openings, and Santa will be joining in too! And....don't forget about my in studio Family sessions on Nov 28....I conveniently chose Thanksgiving weekend while many will have family in town! A perfect time to get photos together!

I have previews ready to share! This is Enzo! Isn't this little cowboy so cute! 🤠 We had his first birthday photo session and I am pretty sure his favorite part was the cake! 🥳 He made the perfect mess!

I can do First Birthday Cake Smash sessions at any time... In studio, or outdoors! I have more themes than I can even remember off the top of my head!

I also still have a few spaces left for Christmas sessions. ONE more space for the Highland Cow, Santa has a few more openings with our in studio Polar Express inspired setting. Our Grinch INSPIRED Candy Cane Airplane has 2 more openings, and don't forget about my in studio Family sessions on Nov 28....I conveniently chose Thanksgiving weekend while family may be in town!

Fall Photo sessions have begun!

This is definitely one of my favorite families! They have been coming to see me for about the last 4 years, and I love watching their girls change and grow every time I see them! We had such a fun photo session on Monday evening, and I have quite a few more coming up over the next few days!

I only have a few more spaces available for these. They are shot at sunset and I can only do one each evening, so grab one of the last available spaces if you need one! Message my inbox here: Marie Burns Photography to check availability and to reserve your spot!

I wanted to update everyone on Christmas photo sessions. If you have been putting off booking, you may not want to wait too much longer!

This is how things are looking right now:

Nov 1: Candy Cane Airplane with Green Menace (grinch inspired) AND Santa Dale. Anna, Texas. TWO more spaces

Nov 4: Texas Reindeer with Bonnie the Highland Cow (Yes, a Wednesday afternoon) ONE more space.

Nov 7: Texas Reindeer with Bonnie the Highland Cow ONE more space

Nov 14: Santa in Studio Polar Express inspired TWO more spaces

Nov 21: Santa in Studio Polar Express inspired ONE more space (I will open another hour if needed)

Nov 28: Family Christmas or Snow Baby In Studio. I have plenty of availability for this because we can do any time that I have availability during the month of November, but November 28th is Thanksgiving weekend and perfect timing if you have family in town and need Christmas photos together.

I will put a link in the comments where you can see sample photos and all info for these Christmas themes.
