Christmas Mini Sessions
There’s something extra magical about this time of year, and I’m so excited to welcome you back for another season of Christmas Minis! ✨
These sessions are designed to be relaxed, festive, and full of those sweet little moments you’ll want to remember long after the holidays are over. Whether you’re updating your annual family photos, celebrating another year of Christmas magic, or simply creating something beautiful for your Christmas cards, I can’t wait to capture a little holiday magic with you.
Availability is limited and sessions are booked on a first-come, first-served basis, so we highly recommend booking early if you have a specific set, date, or time in mind. No additional weekend dates will be added at Mint Room Studios or Preto Loft. Possible additional weekend dates include Nov 7/8, or Dec 5/6 at alternate studios than what is already listed, IF more dates are needed.
Please note that images shown of the Christmas setups are concept renderings and are intended to give you an idea of the overall design and aesthetic. Final sets may vary slightly and images will be updated once released at the end of October.
We are so excited for another holiday season with you and can’t wait to create some Christmas magic together! 🎄✨
See you soon!

Because mini sessions are scheduled back-to-back, arriving early is extremely important. Arriving late will cut into your scheduled session time, so please give yourself plenty of time for parking, getting everyone ready, and making your way into the studio.

You are welcome to bring a second outfit; however, because we are working within a 25-minute session, we recommend no more than two outfits total so that we can make the most of your time in front of the camera.
