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 everyone’s 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. You’ll come away with photos of who you all are right now, together for the holidays. They’re not for a card deadline, just for you to keep.
And yes, pets are welcome! Bring the dog, the cat, the whole crew. They’re family too. 🐾
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. I’ll take care of the rest.
