NEW THIS YEAR: Your Christmas Portraits, In Motion ✨

Along with your traditional Christmas portraits, this year's Christmas Mini Sessions will include something new: a cinemagraph.

Think of it as a photograph that comes to life.

A cinemagraph combines the look and composition of a beautiful portrait with a small amount of intentional movement. Maybe it's your little one's hand reaching for an ornament, the movement of a dress, a gentle embrace, or another small moment from your family.

The result is a short, seamless moving portrait that feels somewhere between a photograph and a film.

You'll still receive the beautiful photographs you're coming for. This is simply something extra I'm creating this year to give you another way to remember this season and something beautiful to share with family and on social media.

One moment. A little movement. A Christmas memory brought to life. 🎄

****up to 5 family members.  There will be a $25 per person charge after the 5th****

Mini sessions are designed to be quick and fun, lasting just 30 minutes. Because of the schedule, I’m not able to extend the time if little ones need extra warming up. If you’re concerned that your child might need more time to settle in, a full family session may be a better fit. That way, we’ll have the flexibility to go at your family’s pace and capture the best moments together.
