~LG Photography Fall & Christmas Mini Sessions 2025~

Booking date for ALL holiday & fall sessions will be Sunday, August 10th at 8:00am through this link: LG Booking Pag e

After a three year hiatus from outdoor tree farm due to increased Santa demand, we are back outside at the farm! I am not planning to do as many “scenes” as I’ve done in the past (flashback to renting a U-haul, yikes) so the focus will be on connection. I will bring a few different plaid/holiday blankets to best match your vibe and there will be some sort of chair/couch to cuddle on. Please no outfit changes due to time restrictions. Dogs are welcome!

Dates: October 18th & 19th; November 1st and 2nd

Rain Dates: November 8th and 9th

Price: $375 (plus tax), retainer of $100 plus tax due at booking

Includes:

~ 15 Minute Family Session outdoors at Kemmerer’s Tree Farm

~ 5 Digital Images

~ Online proofing gallery where you can order professional prints and products, as well as additional digital images

~ Complimentary mobile app (new this year!)

This year I am spicing things up with a new twist on my classic Christmas Studio Minis. I am going to have two options- “Home For the Holidays” and “Blue-Green Christmas”. For my one backdrop friends from the past, you’ll want to pick the Blue-Green Christmas/one backdrop option if you’re looking to stay in the same price range as last year, wanting to get your Holiday card done early or don’t really need a ton of photos. Home for the holidays = my two or three backdrop options from the past and will cover all the bases… read more about both below.

I am SO excited for this year to bring a new twist on my classic studio Christmas minis. In the past, we’ve always done different sets/rooms/backdrops and booked them according to which you liked the best. This year, I have decided to make an entire room/side of the studio like one continuous scene which will make for a variety of gorgeous and cohesive photos. This room is neutral, soft, calm and warm. It will have some form of a formal/posed set, a living room/mantle/Christmas tree set, a cozy bed and an interactive kitchen which will have pops of festive red. So technically, four backdrops in one all-inclusive room. I encourage changing into pajamas for the second half of the session to make fun photos on the bed and baking!

Dates: November 14th-23rd

Price: $350 (plus tax), retainer of $50 plus tax due at booking

Includes:

~ 30 Minute Family Session in my “Christmas Room”

~ 10 Digital Images

~ Online proofing gallery where you can order professional prints and products, as well as additional digital images

~ Complimentary mobile app (new this year!)

One backdrop option only- a beautiful teal drop, flocked trees and hanging lights. I will be adding a couch for posing- this will great for grabbing a family photo for your Christmas card! If you’re looking for a lot of variety in posing, or not planning to do family photos (kids alone), this is not your best option. As I try to imagine every possible color palette with this drop, no matter where my mind takes me, it always matches so no need to stress about outfits here! Keep it simple and wow everyone with your brilliant coordination.

Dates: Various dates from September through November

Price: $250 (plus tax), retainer of $50 plus tax due at booking (if booked as a standalone session)

Includes:

~ 15 Minute Studio Christmas session on an indoor teal backdrop with flocked trees

~ 5 Digital Images

~ Online proofing gallery where you can order professional prints and products, as well as additional digital images

~ Complimentary mobile app (new this year!)

*Available as a special add-on for Birthday Sessions (booked from September through November): $75 (plus tax), Includes 1 Digital Image (and as always the option to buy all or take advantage of my print order promotion)

These sessions will be on a homemade, gorgeous indoor “Christmas Kitchen” set… My initial thoughts for this set is a my white shiplap wall with greenery and garland and red berries touches, red kitchen utensils and bowls, a primitive table for working on with perhaps a cute sign to tie it all together. B.Y.O.G. (Bring Your Own Grandma/Grandpa! but kids alone or just your family is fine too) This will perfect in Christmas jammies or dressed up if you prefer!

Dates: October 4th

Price: $250 (plus tax), retainer of $53 plus tax due at booking

Frequently Asked Questions:

Question- What if I don’t see any spots left?

Answer- Once all spots have filled, the waitlist will be activated through the booking site and you can follow the same link for booking, choose your session type and if they have all been booked, you’ll be able to get your name on the waitlist. We will contact you as spots become available.

Question- Can I bring my parents, aunt, uncle etc to the session for photos? How about to watch the session?
Answer- All sessions are priced and booked per family/household, so please bring only your immediate family for photos. Contact us if you’re trying to add family in for one or two shots, we can make a custom add-on for you. Bringing family members to watch or help to get smiles is always encouraged.

Question- Can I bring my pet dog, cat, iguana, snake, chickens etc?
Answer- Because of many people in and out of the studio and allergies, unfortunately we cannot permit pets inside the studio at Christmas time. However, dogs are welcome for the Simple Outdoor Tree Farm and the Fall Family Shorties.

Question- Can I still book a cousins session for any of these holiday sessions?
Answer- Cousin sessions are doable when two sessions are booked back to back. If you’re trying to do this, contact ahead of time so we can help you through it.

Question- Can I book multiple types of sessions?
Answer- Yes! As long as you are able to get a spot for any session you choose, it’s yours!

Question- Is my retainer refundable or transferable to another session?
Answer- Unfortunately, no.

Question- What if I have a conflict and want to switch my session date or time?
Answer- We understand things come up (we’re moms, too!) but last minute schedule changes MUST be made a week in advance unless your child is sick.

Question- What if my child wakes up sick on a session day?
Answer- Please cancel. We don’t want anyone getting sick. We will try our best to get you in another day if possible or for a different holiday session.

Question- Can we use gift certificates on holiday minis?
Answer- Yes!

DONATIONS AND PAYING IT FORWARD OPPORTUNITIES:

Every year during the holidays, I like to help people pay it forward and give back to the community. Since the last few years were such a great success, we’ve chosen to work with The Kindness Project, a foster care resource that has made a huge impact on my family over the last four years. However, we are skipping the shoe boxes this year and only accepting gift cards. This is easier on everyone involved and due to space limitations in the studio this year with my “Home For The Holidays” set, we won’t have room to accommodate the boxes. Every $20 gift card that you donate, will get you one entry to win a free Christmas photo shoot next year with me! Places like Target, Walmart, Amazon, Five Below, Dunkin’, McDonald’s, Chik-Fil-A, Burger King, Starbucks, Visa Gift Cards etc would be wonderful gifts so that they can shop for whatever they need or want.

Don’t forget, we will also continue to collect PB&J from now until forever! For every pair of peanut butter (or other types of nut butter) and jelly you bring to the studio, you will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card.

So that’s it for Christmas at LG for 2025! I hope you’re as excited as I am!

In case you missed my newsletter and blog at the end of last season, our dear Awesome Santa has retired and will not be returning to the studio. You can watch the video from Santa and I that we made on our last day together HERE. We will miss him greatly this season, but I’m ready to make some new memories with all of you and try on some new sessions this year.
