The holiday season is here, and there’s no better way to capture the magic than with timeless portraits of your family. Whether you’re looking for cozy fall vibes, twinkling Christmas backdrops, or a once-in-a-lifetime visit with Santa & Mrs. Claus, my Oakley, CA photography studio has you covered.

From Fall Into Halloween Sessions (ending November 1st!) to Christmas Minis and full family holiday portraits, every session is designed to make the experience as stress-free as the photos are beautiful.

🍁 Fall Into Halloween Sessions – Now through November 1st

Fall is the start of cozy season, and these sessions are all about celebrating costumes, pumpkins, and crisp autumn colors. With two festive backdrops — a Fall Harvest scene large enough for families and a kid-friendly Halloween setup — these portraits are perfect for seasonal cards or just updating your family album with autumn magic.

• 20-minute sessions

• $200 retainer to book

• Packages start at $330 (Petite Collection)

Sessions are only available through November 1st, so grab your spot before they’re gone!

🎄 Holiday Highlights – Christmas Minis for $200

If you’re short on time but still want magical holiday photos, the Holiday Highlights Christmas Minis are for you. In just 10 minutes, I’ll capture the warmth and joy of the season on one beautifully styled set of your choice:

• Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen – cozy baking vibes

• Santa’s Mailroom – full of Christmas letters and cheer

• 2025 Fan Favorite: Hot Cocoa Stand – a playful, client-voted backdrop

• $100 retainer secures your spot

• $100 balance due after your session

• Includes 3 fully edited images with print release

These shorter sessions are perfect for families wanting something quick, stress-free, and absolutely festive.

✨ Full Holiday Portrait Sessions – More Time, More Backdrops

For families who want a little extra, the Holiday Portrait Minis give you 20 minutes in the studio with access to all three holiday backdrops:

• Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen

• Santa’s Mailroom

• Hot Cocoa Stand

Your $200 retainer secures the session, and you’ll choose a portrait package after viewing your proofing gallery:

• Petite Collection – $330 | 6 images

• Splendor Collection – $400 | 10 images

This option is ideal if you’re planning to use portraits for holiday cards, gifts, and keepsakes.

🎅 Santa & Mrs. Claus Sessions – November 8th & 9th

Skip the long mall lines and give your kids a magical, private Santa experience right here in Oakley. On November 8 & 9 only, Mr. & Mrs. Claus will join us in the studio for an unforgettable portrait session.

Unlike quick “sit and smile” photos, this session lets your little ones spend quality time with Santa. He’ll read stories, talk about his reindeer, and bring holiday wonder to life while Mrs. Claus shares her warmth and cheer.

• 20-minute sessions

• $300 retainer (does not apply toward packages)

• Portrait packages begin at $330 (Petite)

Spots for these sessions are very limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone until next year.

💡 Tips for Booking Your Holiday Session

Want to make the most of your portraits? Here are a few quick tips:

• Coordinate outfits: Think cozy neutrals with pops of festive color (reds, greens, or even blue).

• Plan for comfort: Kids do best in clothing that allows them to move and play.

• Arrive early: Give yourself a few extra minutes to settle in before your session.

• Book early: Sessions always fill quickly — the earlier you book, the more choice you’ll have in dates and times.
