I’m all about embracing the simplicity and timeless beauty of the holiday season. Picture rustic wood logs, subtle gold accents, and the warm glow of holiday spirit all around. Imagine strolling through a picturesque Christmas tree farm, the scent of pine in the crisp air, and a snug blanket wrapped around you. This is just the beginning of the enchantment awaiting you at our mini photo shoot….except you don’t have walk far, be annoyed by other people, or get muddy. 🌟❀️🌲

But here’s the best part – my holiday mini-shoot isn’t just for kids and families. It’s for couples, friends, or anyone who holds a special place in their hearts for this season of joy! πŸ“ΈπŸ’‘πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦β€πŸ‘¦

I believe in making this experience uniquely yours. You have the freedom to customize the setup to reflect your unique style and personality. Whether you prefer a cozy cuddle with your loved one on my red bench or you’re a family with little ones full of energy, I’ve got you covered! πŸŽ„πŸ‘«πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦

…and speaking of little ones I’ve given a Little Tykes Cozy Coupe a fresh update..think pimp my ride Christmas style! Check out my before and after pics below. πŸš—

I’ll also have some “snow” to throw in the air which makes for the best candid photos, even for those shy or kids who may not be in the mood to smile.❄️

AND…………….The first 5 families who book with us will receive a limited edition MAP holiday mug to commemorate this special shoot! β˜•πŸŽ


About the Film…

Once again I’m thrilled to offer a new option for families to add on a short mini-family film to their photo shoot experience. This film will be shot during your session and will extend your normal 20-minute shoot to 45 minutes. Not only will you get more time to capture those beautiful moments with your loved ones, but you’ll also receive more photos to choose from.

The mini family film will be a wonderful addition to your photo shoot, as it will provide a unique way to capture the essence of your family dynamic. This film will be shot in a documentary style, allowing you to look back on your family’s personality and interactions in a truly authentic way.

The film will be a short, one to two minutes that will be professionally edited and set to licensed music. You’ll be able to share it with family and friends, and it will serve as a treasured keepsake that you can enjoy for years to come.Β You can also add a QR code to your Christmas card with the video link so friends and family can watch you film…something truly unique and special!

To add the mini family film to your session, simply select the option below when you book your photo shoot. This includes the extended shoot time, additional photos, and the professionally edited mini-family film.

I can’t wait to capture your family’s special moments and provide you with a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Book your session now and let’s make some magic together!

Behind the scenes of the Little Tykes Cozy Cope Makeover

I found it for $5 on Facebook Marketplace and it was in pretty bad shape but I knew what it would become and I got to work. A good scrub, a trip to Home Depot, and some patience was all I needed. I got some paint, tape, and PVC end caps (used those for the wheel caps), and after a month of spraying, drying, spraying, and drying it was finally complete. A labor of love and it came out exactly how I wanted! I also ordered some new odometer/speedometer stickers from Amazon and then the custom license plate and side badges fromΒ 2Cute3DΒ on Etsy!
