Holiday Minis: Magical Moments from Christmas 2024

I did two rounds of holiday minis in my New Jersey studio this year—and they were both SO much fun! I’ve already given you a peek into my first round (with a cozy Christmas living room setup), but now it’s time for a few more magical moments, this time from my Santa sessions!

Santa sessions are always a HUGE hit with my families and their kiddos. Who doesn’t love to spend some time with Father Christmas?

I think this year was my favorite so far for Santa sessions. (And yes, I do say that every year. They just keep getting better and better!) Seeing the excitement and wonder on the faces of those littles as they talk with Santa Claus or find their names on his list (the Nice list, of course!) is just the best. I couldn’t ask for a better way to kick off the holiday season.

And of course, these holiday minis make the best greeting cards and gifts for grandparents. (Can you just picture an ornament made from a photo like this every year?) This is one reason I hold my holiday sessions early (usually in October and November). I want you to have plenty of time to use these pictures as part of your celebration.

If you missed the fun this year, be sure to subscribe to my email list to be the first to know when I open my schedule for holiday bookings in 2025! (There’s a spot to sign up at the bottom of my home page). I am already so excited for Santa sessions next fall. Not even kidding. It’s my favorite day of the whole year!
