For the first time ever, we’re hosting holiday mini sessions! We’ll be using an adorable studio in Longwood on November 1st. The exact address and parking information will be included in your confirmation email and reminder emails. The studio has three areas we can use during your session:

  • SET 1: Ralph Lauren Christmas (Navy and forest green plaid with touch of cream and gold)

  • SET 2: Champagne Neutrals (Gold and brushed gold ornaments, soft draping)

  • SET 3: The holiday door (Soft linen colored door with holiday wreath and decor).

The images shown here are design boards that correlate to the different sets, to give you a better idea of how it will be styled. Your session will include up to 15 minutes of photography time with at least 20 edited images delivered within two weeks of the session. Please arrive 15 minutes before your session start time to ensure you’re ready to go when it’s your turn! We’re asking for a maximum of 8 people per family due to the space available in the studio as well as the time length of the sessions. Pets are allowed to join your family but they must be leashed while entering and exiting the studio and must be house trained.

On November 15th, we’ll be at Moss Estates in Eustis, Florida. The exact address and parking information will be included in your confirmation email and reminder emails. We will be under a gorgeous oak tree. There are cows that roam the property outside the fence, so we might even have some photobombers! In the event of inclement weather, we will move our decor/setup to inside the barn.

Your session will include up to 15 minutes of photography time with at least 20 edited images delivered within two weeks of the session. Please arrive 15 minutes before your session start time to ensure you’re ready to go when it’s your turn!

Sessions between 12pm and 3pm will have a Highland Cow available to join your photos! Meet Ford!

Get ready to book!

This is a perfect opportunity to get your family photo for your annual holiday card! On November 1st, we’ll be indoors so we don’t have to worry about wind or heat or rain or cold. On November 15th, we will be outdoors but we will have access to move our set into the venue’s barn if there is inclement weather.

Wondering what to wear? Whenever I’m working with families for their photo sessions, I always recommend they pick a color scheme of 2-3 colors that are common throughout everyone’s outfits. But since these are holiday photos, you can choose something that’s more in theme with the season. You can even decide to go with matching Christmas jammies or choose formal suits and dresses in champagnes and golds and silvers!

Your final images will be delivered in an online gallery with unlimited downloads, so you can easily share the images with all of the other important people in your life!
