Here are all the details for the 2026 Holiday Mini Sessions & Full Sessions. I am so excited to celebrate and see all of you and your families this year.

I think that is one of my favorite things about this time of year, truly! Getting to see your faces, how the kids have grown, and catching up during our sessions about what’s new with you and the family, and bonus playtime with the kiddos!

Currently booking mini sessions, choose-your-own-adventure minis, and private full sessions for your holiday cheer! ⁠

Two Ways to Book a Mini This Year

New for 2026: I’m offering two mini session paths instead of one.

For years, my minis let you choose your own date, time, and location off a list. It’s flexible, but behind the scenes it’s also the single biggest source of scheduling chaos in my whole year (swapping slots, hunting for open times, coordinating locations on the fly). So this year I’m trying something new: a handful of set dates and locations, offered at a lower price, alongside the flexible, pick-your-own option for anyone who wants to keep that freedom.

Neither one is the “wrong” choice, it just depends on what matters more to you: saving a little and locking in one of my curated dates, or paying a bit more to build your own.

Option 1: Set Date Minis — $495

• 20-minute session
• Up to 5 people
• Only 4 sessions per date — first come, first served
• 25 digital hi-res portrait files to download
• All digital files from your session included, no picking and choosing
• Special holiday print packages available
• Images delivered in 7–10 days

Choose one of these 4 dates & locations:

• Griffith Park
  • October 10 | 9am–12pm
• Broad or Disney Hall
  • October 24 | 2pm–5pm
• Pasadena City Hall
  • November 7 | 10am–1pm
• Oak Park Community Park
  • November 15 | 2pm–5pm
• St. Francis Episcopal Church
  • November 22 | 11am–2pm

Only 4 families per date, so these will move fast!

Option 2: Choose Your Own Adventure Mini — $595

Want more control over your date, time, or location? This is your option. Same great mini session, you’re just paying a little extra for the flexibility of building it around your family’s schedule instead of mine.

• 20-minute session
• Up to 5 people
• Pick your own date, time, and location from the full list below
• 25+ digital hi-res portrait files to download
• All digital files from your session included
• Special holiday print packages available
• Images delivered in 7–10 days

Which One Is Right for You?

Set Date Mini ($495) is a great fit if you’re flexible on timing, want to save a little, and are happy to let me pick the perfect spot for that day. Great for families who just want a few beautiful shots for holiday cards without overthinking the details.

Choose Your Own Adventure Mini ($595) is for you if you have a specific location, date, or time in mind and don’t want to leave it to chance. You still get the same fast, low-pressure mini experience — just built entirely around your schedule.

Private Full Session ($800) might be for you if you have a specific set of shots in mind, want more time, more images, and a full consult on location and outfits — no rushing, no unpredictability. [Read more on the benefits of a full session!]

There’s So Much to Celebrate

Do your kids just wanna run around and play, especially when you need them to sit still? Let them have at it!

Did you add a tiny human to your family?

Are your kids in that very short window of loving to match?

Do you want to capture that special bond between your family and fur babies?

Those unforced snuggles and hugs won’t always be available — one day they’ll say “ugh, really mom?”

There’s nothing like the bond between siblings. Capture their adventurous spirits.
