2024 Holiday Minis and Santa Sessions

Our 2024 Holiday Minis featured two enchanting setups that perfectly captured the magic of the season. The Christmas Courtyard, with its elegant white holiday decorations, charming door, and beautifully lit Christmas trees, offered families the option to include a special visit from Santa. The Cozy Winter Hideaway provided a relaxed, intimate vibe, where families changed into matching pajamas and shared sweet moments together over mugs of hot cocoa.

Each session was thoughtfully designed to blend festive charm with genuine connection - creating timeless holiday memories to cherish for years to come.
