Mini Session Backdrop 2026
"Professional and sincere. Best photo shoot ever! We brought the dog as we could not find care that day and without missing a beat Amanda included him in our Christmas shoot. The pictures and cards exceeded our expectations! We will use her for all photo shoots moving forward!"

When Should We Arrive?
For the MINI SESSION please plan to arrive 10 minutes early and wait in your car until your scheduled appointment time. Sessions are booked back-to-back, so arriving more than 5 minutes late will unfortunately result in a canceled session, with no rescheduling or refund available.

How do We Select our Christmas Photos?
Right after your Christmas photoshoot, we will sit down and select the best photos from your Christmas session.
When Do I Receive the Photos?
After your selection, the editing will take up to 2 weeks. This is enough time to download and get print products done before Christmas. Please note we cannot deliver single images before the full gallery is finished.
Can I Bring Grandparents or Additional Family Members?
We can include grandparents in the SANTA EXPERIENCE free of charge. If you wish to bring other family members, please book a second spot. Cousins or other family members MUST book a different spot. MINI SESSIONS are for parents and children only, grandparents must book a separate spot (you can still take photos together if the appointments are back to back).
