Fall and Christmas sessions are officially coming, and I have some really fun things planned this year! If you have been waiting for a chance to update your family photos, get something special for your Christmas cards, or simply capture the kids during one of my favorite times of year, there are several different mini sessions to choose from for 2026.
I love that each one has a completely different feel. You can go all-in on fall with pumpkins, head outdoors for Christmas at the tree farm, visit Santa, or put the kids in their favorite Christmas pajamas for something cozy and fun. Here is a look at what is coming up!

This one is NEW for 2026, and I am so excited about it!
My Pumpkin Patch Minis will take place in Jacksboro, Texas, on Saturday, October 17. The setting will be filled with pumpkins to give us that classic fall look, making this such a fun option if you want seasonal family photos that really feel like October.
Sessions are $225 plus tax and include eight professionally edited images, with the option to purchase additional images afterward. These sessions are for immediate families, and spots are very limited.
If pumpkins and fall family photos have been on your list this year, this is definitely one to grab early!

If you love outdoor Christmas photos, the Tree Farm Minis are such a beautiful option. The rows of trees give us a simple, natural Christmas setting without needing a lot of extra decor, and these photos work beautifully for Christmas cards, gifts, and updated family portraits.
Tree Farm Minis are $275 plus tax and include 15 professionally edited images. You can also add 10 additional images at the time of booking for $100, giving you a total of 25 images.
Since we will be outdoors, session times may shift slightly as we get closer to the date and I can better determine the sunset and lighting. I keep a close eye on this because good light makes such a difference in your final images!

Santa is coming to town on Saturday, November 7!
Santa Minis are always such a fun way to get those classic Christmas photos without making it a huge production. Sessions are up to 15 minutes and include five professionally edited images, with the option to purchase more.
The session fee is $125 plus tax. If you would like to jump into a few photos too, immediate family can be included for an additional $25.
It will be festive and Christmasy while still keeping the focus on your kids and their time with Santa! And, you can even throw a “snowball” or two with Santa!

Christmas pajamas, a cozy holiday setup, and marshmallows? Yes, please!
My Cozy Farmhouse PJ Minis will take place Sunday, December 6 and are perfect for families who want something a little more relaxed and playful for Christmas. The setup will feature a bed surrounded by Christmas trees, presents, and holiday decor to give us that cozy Christmas-morning feeling.
Sessions are $150 plus tax and include seven professionally edited images, with the option to purchase additional images.
Have the kids wear their favorite Christmas pajamas and come ready to have some fun. These are some of my favorite sessions because kids can relax, snuggle up, and enjoy themselves while we capture all that Christmas excitement.
That really depends on what you want to capture this year! Pumpkin Patch Minis are perfect if you want a true fall look, while the Tree Farm gives you an outdoor option that works beautifully for the Christmas season. Santa Minis give your kids the experience of visiting Santa along with professional photos, and the Cozy Farmhouse PJ Minis are great if you want something playful and relaxed.
You certainly do not have to choose based only on Christmas cards, either. These photos can become gifts for grandparents, framed photos around your home, or simply a way to document how much your kids have changed since last year.
Mini sessions have limited spots by design, so I always recommend booking sooner rather than waiting until fall and the holiday season are in full swing. Take a look at the available dates, choose the setup that feels most like your family, and get your 2026 mini session on the calendar.
I cannot wait to see you!
