Christmas Mini Sessions 2025: A Magical Season in Our New Studio ❄️🎄
This year’s Christmas mini sessions were truly something special. It was our first holiday season in the new studio on Wilshire, and what a beautiful way to celebrate the beginning of this new chapter. I wanted to create a space filled with warmth, joy, and timeless memories—and thanks to all the families who visited, that vision came to life.
A White Christmas Dream ✨
Our White Christmas set was the star of the season. Soft winter tones, twinkling lights, cozy textures, and a clean fine-art aesthetic created the perfect backdrop for families to shine.
The set was intentionally designed to feel elegant but still playful—a space where little ones could laugh, cuddle, explore, and simply be themselves.
Parents loved how bright and airy it looked in their photos, and kids loved… well, everything!
A Visit From Santa 🎅❤️
This year, we were lucky enough to welcome Santa into the studio for multiple sessions—and he was a hit!
Seeing children’s faces light up the moment he walked in was one of my favorite parts of the entire holiday season. Some little ones were starstruck. Others were shy. And a few weren’t too sure about Santa—but those moments always make for the cutest photos.
Having Santa join us made these sessions feel even more magical and memorable for every family who came through the doors.
Beautiful Families, Beautiful Memories
I had the honor of photographing so many amazing families this year—returning clients, new clients, first-time parents, big families, tiny babies, and everything in between.
Every session brought its own joy. From toddlers giggling in the snow set to siblings hugging under the Christmas lights, these moments are why I love what I do.
Thank you to each and every family who trusted me to capture your holiday memories. Your support helps my small business grow more each year, and I am truly grateful.
A Wonderful Season in My New Studio
This Christmas was extra meaningful because it was the first one inside my new photography studio in Los Angeles.
The space allowed me to offer more set options, more comfort, more flexibility, and an overall better experience for families.
Walking into the studio filled with holiday energy, parents chatting, kids laughing, Santa waving—it was everything I hoped for and more.
