Holiday Mini Sessions
I am so happy you are here and invite you to Elle Baker Photography's 13th Holiday Mini Session Event! Holiday sessions are the most cherished tradition at the studio and one that I look forward to all year!
Whether you're celebrating your baby's first Christmas or returning for another year, I promise we will create the most magical memories. As a parent myself, I know how special it is to have these beautiful moments documented and that is why every detail of this event is designed to make this easy, magical, and special for you and your kids.
It would be so wonderful to see and/or meet you this year! Please continue scrolling to read a detailed Q&A and learn next steps on booking your session. I can't wait to see you and your children to the studio and create something special.
Cheers

A note from laurie
Registration for both Santa and Holiday Mini's go live on 9/12 at 9am! Be sure to complete the checkout process in a timely manner so you don't lose your chosen spot. These events sell out quickly every year, so make sure to reserve your session early.
Some details ~ All sales are final and non-refundable. Please note that each ticket is for one family only. Cousins should purchase separate tickets. Should you fall ill before your session, we will reschedule your session on a another date in November or December.
Register online
Holiday Mini sessions include a 10-15 minute studio session, an online viewing gallery from which you choose your favorite 5 digital files, and a detailed guide including wardrobe suggestions and tips and tricks to make this day run seamlessly.
Need help deciding between a Santa Session or Holiday Mini? Santaphobia is a thing ~ so for those babies and toddlers that are a little scared of Santa or for kiddos that take a while to warm up with the camera, a holiday mini might be a better option this year!
Holiday mini sessions are JUST as special as a meet and greet with Santa. We will sing carols, jingle all the bells, talk about your holiday wish-list, and capture the most amazing moments.

Select your session
Holiday mini sessions are very fun and a little more fast paced than a typical 'mini' session you might have had with me so please be dressed and ready to go for photos upon arrival.
Although the exact theme is in the works, the holiday set-up and design will stay true to the Elle Baker brand using a modern and festive aesthetic.
A detailed guide including what to wear information, how to prepare, location details, etc. will be sent to you via email.

I kindly ask that you plan accordingly for snow/ice, traffic, getting your child ready/fed and be sure to arrive promptly at your session time as we book these sessions back to back without breaks. Unfortunately, if you are more than five minutes late, your session time will be forfeited and you will be invited to come back to the studio in November or December for a holiday themed session without Santa.
To avoid distraction and to allow each child to have their 'one-on-one' time with Santa I ask that you wait in your car until you see your name posted on the door and are waved inside.
And I'm sad to say, but unfortunately due allergens and building policy, pets are no longer allowed on the premises or in the studio. Thank you for understanding.

Santa session designs stay true to the Elle Baker brand and will have a modern and festive aesthetic. The photo to the right was from a previous year and this year will be a similar design.
Holiday mini sessions will be the same setup as Santa sessions but in addition to the holiday theme, we will move to the other side of the studio using the bed to capture some cozy and cuddly PJ photos too.

Yes! I am curating a 'wardrobe guide' for these sessions and will email you as soon as it's finished! Most client's come in comfy and holiday themed pajamas but some come in classic sweaters and holiday outfits!
