The holiday season is right around the corner, and I’m so excited to announce that Christmas Mini Sessions are back for 2025! These sessions are one of the most popular offerings of the year, and with only a limited number of spots available in my Manasquan, NJ photography studio, I anticipate a very quick sellout. If you’ve been waiting to secure timeless, cozy holiday photos of your family, this is your chance!
Each year, I design a set that feels warm, festive, and completely in line with my brand—neutral, modern, and timeless. This year is no exception. The set will feature cozy holiday details that complement your family without overwhelming the photos, giving you images that will look beautiful on holiday cards and timeless when displayed in your home year after year.
My Christmas mini sessions in Monmouth County are perfect for families who love a natural, elevated look that doesn’t feel overdone, while still capturing the magic of the season
To add just the right amount of holiday charm, I’ll also have a selection of Christmas-themed props available in the studio. These pieces are carefully chosen to stay true to my brand—simple, neutral, and timeless. Think cozy accents that enhance the overall look of your session without overwhelming your family’s natural connection.
**Note these are images from Christmas sessions from previous years, but to give you an idea of what to expect.
These mini sessions are short and sweet, which means we’ll capture everything we need in a limited amount of time. Because of this, they’re best suited for children who warm up quickly in new environments. If you know that your child takes a little more time to settle in, I kindly ask that you do not book a mini session, or consider booking two back-to-back spots to allow for the adjustment. Please note that no additional time or re-shoots will be offered for uncooperative children.
For families with babies who need extra support sitting up—or for parents who prefer a weekday session to avoid weekend conflicts—a small number of studio sessions will be available on Monday, November 10th at my Manasquan studio.
Deposit: A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date and time.
Contract & Session Guide: Once booked, you’ll receive a detailed session guide with styling tips, logistics, and ways to help your kids cooperate for the best experience.
Balance: Remaining balances are due at the conclusion of your session. Credit card payments are accepted with a 4.5% service fee, but cash or check is preferred to avoid surcharges.
Because these sessions are limited, I cannot hold additional makeup days. If illness arises, your deposit may be applied to a different type of session or rescheduled for a weekday morning before December 1st.
After your session, you’ll receive a proofing gallery with 6–10 unedited images to choose from. Once selections are made, I’ll carefully retouch your chosen images to perfection—removing blemishes, bruises, bug bites, stray hairs, distractions, and more. Final galleries will be delivered within three weeks of your session.
Additional images are available at $50 each, 3 for $100, or $250 for the full gallery.
Edited images are delivered via a secure, high-resolution digital gallery with a print release.
Professional products and prints can be ordered directly through your gallery and shipped to your home.
Sessions are for immediate families only (parents and children).
Families with more than three children will be charged an additional $50 per child.
Spots for Christmas Mini Sessions are extremely limited and expected to sell out quickly. Booking will go live on Monday, September 22nd at 8:30 PM. Be sure to set a reminder, as once the spots are gone, they’re gone!
When booking opens, you’ll be able to secure your session directly through my website. Please have your credit card ready at the time of booking, as sessions will not be held without a paid deposit.
If you’re looking for Christmas mini sessions in Manasquan, NJ or holiday photos in Monmouth County, don’t wait—these sessions are always in high demand and will book up quickly.
