Christmas Mini Sessions at The Cozy Cottage on Sunday, December 20, 2026 from 12:00 - 3:00 PM
Most holiday sessions happen in October and November, when everyoneβs rushing to get Christmas cards out. But some of the best moments of the season happen closer to Christmas, when everyone finally comes home.
These sessions are for those moments.
If your college kids are home for break, your family is flying in from out of town, or your littles have been counting down the days to Christmas, this is your chance to get everyone in one place. Youβll come away with photos of who you all are right now, together for the holidays. Theyβre not for a card deadline, just for you to keep.
And yes, pets are welcome! Bring the dog, the cat, the whole crew. Theyβre family too. πΎ
The Cozy Cottage is a fully decorated Christmas studio set in a natural-light greenhouse, with a glowing chandelier, warm details, and that magical holiday feeling. All you have to do is show up together. Iβll take care of the rest.
Whatβs included
20-minute mini session
15 edited, high-resolution digital images
Private online gallery delivered within 48 hours, in time to share before Christmas

Live calligraphy, engraving, and embossing at brand events, product launches, retail activations, and corporate gatherings. I work directlt wth guests to personalize pieces in real time, creating an experience that is both intimate and shareable.
This is the work I am know for. It is the reason brands return.
Celebrate your loved ones (including furry friends!) with a custom hand-engraved acrylic ornament! Choose from adorable pet shapes or classic round designs, each meticulously hand-engraved using traditional engraving tools.
Handcrafted with Love: Every ornament is carefully hand-engraved using precision dental and nail tools, giving each piece its own unique character. The slight variations inherent in hand engraving make your ornament a true bespoke piece - no two are exactly alike!
Add a special touch to your gift-giving with our charming kraft paper gift bags featuring beautiful hand-lettered calligraphy!
Each small personal-size bag features "Happy Holidays" in elegant calligraphy script, hand-lettered by a California calligrapher. Perfect for presenting small gifts, treats, or ornaments with artisan style.
Make your holiday tree truly special with a custom hand-engraved glass ornament! Each beautiful round glass ornament is carefully hand-engraved using traditional engraving tools with your personalized text, names, dates, or design.
