Baby’s First Christmas Portrait | Mini Sessions
It’s coming up to the most wonderful time of the year! And this year I’m so excited to bring back Baby’s First Christmas Mini Sessions! These have been really popular in the past. It’s a way to get some classic Christmas portraits of your little one on a simple set where their personalities get to shine!
These sessions are open to any baby celebrating their First Christmas and the set can be changed around to accommodate babies of different ages whether they do best on their back, love sitting up, crawling or standing.
This session features a classic green backdrop and barnwood floor and there just might be a bonus set added for the special girls and boys that join me on session day. There’s something beautiful about a red and green set at Christmas isn’t there?

CLOTHING OPTIONS
How you dress your little one is up to you but some ideas include classic Christmas Pajamas (which is a fave of mine) and fancy Christmas outfits. When you are considering your outfit choice for your little one, be sure to think about your child’s physical ability - what i mean by that is, if your baby can’t sit up and will need to be in a bucket for support, you may not see the bottom half. That’s not to say we won’t also get portraits of them on their belly but just keep things like that in mind.
As usual in our studio we highly highly recommend not wearing clothing with a big logo, Disney characters or other large characters and words on the front as your baby will be moving around and you won’t see the character/words properly. It also can distract from capturing their sweet grins.
The best thing about the session taking place later in November is that the stores all bring out their Christmas outfits November 1st! So lots of time to pick up a great outfit!
IMPORTANT TIPS AND THINGS TO REMEMBER
You will be your child’s spotter during this session and will be very close by them and will be edited out. Be prepared to be active to chase those fast crawlers and runners! Safety First in our studio!
There are stairs down to our studio and it is not wheelchair accessible.
We ask that just the parents of the baby join us in the studio (please keep other children home with a caregiver) so we can keep the numbers low in the studio and keep the focus on your baby’s special portraits.
This is a baby only portrait event so there will be no pictures of baby’s with their moms, dads or siblings. If you are interested in family portraits, please sign up for the Family Portrait Mini Session in the studio or at the Christmas Tree Farm which includes family, sibling and individual children portraits.
Your baby is perfect even if we don’t get smiling baby pictures. Even serious pictures are worth it! We try our best to make the session relaxed and fun. Feel free to help make your baby smile or laugh if you have a special noise or song that they like.
We will not be providing Santa hats or outfits for your little one as we won’t have time to sanitize them properly between sessions - please bring anything you’d like them to wear with you when you come.
Baby’s need to be 12 months old or younger. Think your baby needs an exception? Get in touch today. ( I have a January 4th baby so I totally get it!)
