Family Christmas sessions!
These mini sessions are $100 and are located inside my private studio in Winlock, WA. Each 15-minute session will receive 10-12 professionally edited images.

A $50 non-refundable, non-transferable deposit is due at the time of booking. This holds your spot with the remaining $50 due at the time of your session. Please bring cash for this as I have spotty internet inside my studio.

These are sessions the whole family can get in on or it can be just the kids. (My studio can accommodate up to 6 people.)

Snuggle by the fire under the blanket, eat cookies and read a book together. Come dressed in pajamas or holiday outfits!
