Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year, especially once you have a child. During this time, the world gets a little brighter as magic becomes real. If you are looking for the very best way to preserve all of the memories of the season, you might just want to consider booking a Christmas mini session! Not only will you have a frame-worthy, heirloom portrait, but your child is going to have a story they’ll want to tell again and again! As an Atlanta family photographer, I adore working with parents as they plan these sessions. Here is everything you need to know about booking your Christmas minis in Atlanta!

Everything You Need To Know About Christmas Minis In Atlanta

What Are Christmas Minis?

I think every parent knows how stressful it can be to book family portraits throughout the year. You spend weeks booking haircuts and styling outfits, and that’s not counting the several hours it takes to actually get through the session itself. Christmas minis in Atlanta tend to be a much more accessible way to freeze a moment because they’re not nearly as time-intensive. 

The pictures themselves take ten to fifteen minutes (no, really!), giving you priceless portraits in less time than it takes to order dinner. I’ll have several backdrops you can choose from so you can have your perfect Christmas cards! You will come in fully ready, hit several poses, and then leave. From there, you will promptly get between 4 and 9 colored and hand-edited portraits you can use however you’d like. These sessions are available for up to 6 subjects and you can choose between a studio session or an outdoor set up. It’s fast, efficient, and perfect for families with a tight schedule.

If you have a child who might not be able to sit through the allotted time, I do give you the option of booking a separate, private session. This can be a great option for kiddos who need a little extra time warming up and getting comfortable.

When to Book Your Christmas Minis in Atlanta

My goal is to make sure you can have some lovely pictures you can use for your Christmas cards. Because of that, these sessions start well before the actual Christmas season. I typically offer sessions starting in September all the way through November. This will leave you plenty of time to select which pictures you want and get them printed in time to send out. I also have private sessions later in the season if you would prefer to do them in December and you can always add on a rush edit to get them back sooner.
