Arrive ready to be photographed and I'll take it from there. Sessions are quick, relaxed and guided so we can create beautiful portraits without turning Christmas pictures into another holiday headache.

After the event, you'll receive information for viewing your portraits. Your session includes one complimentary digital image, with additional portraits and products available for purchase.

Your Session Gives Back

Instead, we ask each participating family to choose a new, unused item from one of our participating nonprofit wishlists.
