new york Christmas mini sessions
Natural & Joyful
For families needing photos for their annual holiday cards, gifts for loved ones or updated images of your ever-growing kids, my Christmas Mini Sessions are a fun and stress-free way to have your family captured. With a calm approach, I capture you and your family in your most natural and comfortable state. I do little posing but rather give gentle direction so you can all look your best.
These Holiday sessions take place in a studio in Wappingers Falls, NY. The studio lends itself as the perfect backdrop for my vision - a natural light studio filled with white space, unique architectural details, and a minimal, neutral holiday floral installation.

Christmas Mini Sessions
For the mom who’s keeping the magic alive for her family at Christmas time, who’s overwhelmed with shopping lists and things to do - the images we document together are my gift to you. They show how much your kids have grown since last year. They are the photos that will be printed out and sent to all of your loved ones this holiday season. Yes, they are joyful memories you’ll look at every year when you open your Christmas storage boxes, for this year, these are your gift.
While mini on time, these sessions are big on value. When you work with me, I want your session to be as stress-free as possible. I’ll prepare you with a mini guide on what to expect, wardrobe tips, and how to get your kids excited! After the session, you’ll have access to my gallery store where you can order prints, cards and more.

The Process
Mini session details are first sent out to newsletter subscribers. There is one designated date, typically in October. Subscribers have first access to book time slots. These tend to sell out quickly but if there are any remaining spots, details are then shared on social media.
On mini session day, sessions are back-to-back in 15 minute increments. During your time slot, I first focus on getting traditional photos of your whole family smiling. Then as time allows, I'll capture candid moments and smaller groups (just kids, just mom with kids, etc.)
Two weeks after your session is when it all comes together with your gallery delivery. Maybe the photos are exactly what you hoped for. Or more likely, they’re beyond what you envisioned! From here, you can download and share your digital images.
Now is the time to create cards, gifts and more. Through an intuitive and seamless gallery, you’re able to choose custom printed goods. These are heirlooms that will truly stand the test of time.

What do we wear for our Mini session?
After booking your session, I'll send you a guide that includes wardrobe suggestions for you and your family. A general rule of thumb is to keep it neutral and choose outfits that compliment each other, rather than match identically.
