Sneak Preview of Holiday Mini Sessions 2024

We are about to enter the busiest season for photographers. The Fall is a time of year uring which time everyone is on the hunt for family photos. Most are interested in holiday mini sessions. If you are looking for a unique and fun Long Island holiday mini session, then you have come to the right place. I have been photographing families in the Nassau County area for over a decade and I love working with each and every one of them.

This year I will only be offering a very limited amount of holiday themed sessions, but the sessions I am offering are fun, exciting and new for the season.

Vintage Holiday Camper Session

Meet Camping Nancie. She is my family’s 1967 Avion travel trailer. For those of you who don’t know, Avions are very similar to Air streams in structure and style. We researched vintage campers for quite some time and preferred the body of the Avion to the Airstream and lucked out when we found her in 2020 in Ohio. We spent a few years renovating her with a goal of keeping as much of the interior vintage charm in tact as possible, while modernizing it for our traveling purposes. I always had intentions of using her for holiday mini sessions, but wanted to wait until we finished painting the exterior of the camper to do so. We finally completed all of the renovations last year. I did a quick test shot for promos of this session using a tripod and my own family last year. This was just a mock up of the set and for the sessions this year, the decor will vary slightly.

Boho Lifestyle Studio Christmas Mini Session

In the past, I only offered backdrop style photos in my studio for the holidays. While those images are lovely, I wanted to incorporate my beautiful studio space for a holiday session. Typically, I use the lifestyle studio for newborn and maternity sessions, but I wanted to use it to create a holiday set that has more of a lifestyle and relaxed vibe. I came up with this idea at the end of last season, and decorated my studio with holiday decor that was a bit more natural and bohemian. I shot some promos at the very end of my holiday season last year and I absolutely love the images. The decor for this year’s set will vary and have more of Christmas vibe to it. More holiday decor added this year aligned with overall style of the images below. There will be less brown in the set as well.

As you can see, the session has a cozy and casual vibe to it. You can dress up, wear pjs, go casual in sweaters and jeans and basically just snuggle up on the couch or under the tree for some warm and cozy family images. The set is perfect for families with little ones who don’t like to sit still on a backdrop for photos. The entire studio space is the backdrop and will be decorated for the season. There will be three dates in November for this session.

Classic Fall Family Mini Session

This session is a client favorite and I offer it every year. I usually only offer the Fall mini on weeknights, but this year I am also offering weekend morning time slots as well. This session is perfect for those who want updated photos of their family without props. The images are timeless and feature my blend of classic and more interactive portraiture. The foliage will vary based on the date and location selected. The second collage was captured in August, so it is more green than it will be in the Fall. The first collage contains pics from the location last year at different points of the season. You really can’t go wrong with this session. It will give you images that you can use for holiday cards and to hang on your walls. This is truly a timeless session.
