For the past few years, I’ve ruthlessly guarded December. Every photographer will attest to how busy fall is, and for Christmases past, I’ve been too exhausted or sick to enjoy the season. I now make a December exception for just one family holiday film a year because…I mean, really! What is more special than preserving family traditions during this season?! Here’s why I continue capturing a family’s Christmas film every year…

Parents work hard to make holidays magical, so I love partnering with them to ensure their efforts translate to lasting memories. This sweet session doubled as a Christmas film and a six-month milestone session as part of a First Year package (visit my website for details)!

The light, love, and laughter during this session filled my heart to the brim. Watching this family love on their little ones reminded me why I reserve space for sessions like these. They’re a pause in the holiday rush…a chance to breathe, witness joy, and bottle up a little Christmas magic forever. I walked away grateful, inspired, and so very merry.

I hope your holiday season is off to a great start! 🌟🌲
