Family Holiday Documentary Sessions

The holiday season is full of little moments that make it magical—flour-dusted noses while baking cookies, the sparkle of excitement as ornaments are carefully hung on the tree, and the cozy glow of everyone nestled together with laughter filling the air. My family holiday documentary sessions are all about preserving these precious, real-life moments, capturing the love and traditions that make your family unique.

These sessions offer something truly special: an unposed, unscripted look into your family’s holiday traditions. Unlike traditional studio photos, which often feel staged and formal, these sessions are relaxed, real, and absolutely fun. You won’t need to worry about matching outfits or perfect smiles; instead, you’ll simply enjoy time together, doing what you love.

Whether it’s making gingerbread houses, reading favorite holiday books, or just sharing hot cocoa in your coziest PJs, I’ll be there to quietly capture the laughter, the hugs, and all the beautiful, in-between moments that make your holidays unforgettable.

These sessions are all about celebrating the warmth, joy, and nostalgia of the holidays, giving you a collection of memories to cherish long after the season has passed. So gather your loved ones, turn up the holiday music, and let’s create a heartfelt keepsake of the traditions you hold dear—one that’s as unique and genuine as your family.

Whether it’s your first or fifteenth time having professional photos made, not to worry: I’ll walk you through the whole thing from start to finish.

Step 1: Book a Call

We’ll have a quick phone consultation to talk about your expectations and go over any questions or concerns you might have before we decide whether to make your session official. I’ll cover my process and all the pricing details (no surprises later), along with answering any questions you have. If we decide to work together, you’ll pay a $300 session fee to hold your date and time. Click here to book a call!

Step 2: Preview your images

About 4 weeks after your session, I'll reach out with a private link where you'll be able to preview all of your brand-new, fully-edited images - hooray! Then, once you've seen exactly what we got, you'll be ready to choose what you want to purchase.

Step 3: Choose your Collection

Along with a virtual stack of digital images, each collection option comes with a print credit, so you can get your favorite pictures where they belong: in print, where you can see them each and every day. The collection options range between $500 and $1100, depending on the number of digital images you need. All told, my clients invest between $800 and $1400 in their images.
