2016 Holiday Mini-Sessions

Please note: the holiday mini-sessions for 2016 have now concluded. Please visit us again in October of 2017 to see what we are offering next year.

Looking for some holiday pictures of your children this holiday season? Or maybe you would like some custom Christmas cards for family and friends. If you are in the Markham area, we’ve got packages and options to suit your needs and budget.

Welcome to our Holiday Mini Sessions. The theme is vintage bears. The backdrop features a plethora of teddy bears, presents, and other vintage holiday items. We’ve added some of our own teddy bears and wrapped presents to give some additional depth to the pictures and added a white fluffy carpet on the floor to give it an authentic feel.

The Holiday Mini-Sessions are booked in 30 minute intervals which allow for approximately 20 minutes of shooting time. The sessions take place in our home studio (Burwell Crescent) in Markham on Saturdays and Sundays in November and December, along with a few weekday appointments (please see the booking calendar for more specifics).

There are different options available for the finished product. See the pricing table below. All packages include five high resolution digital JPEG files which will be available for download approximately a week after the session, while the cards will take a little longer. So make sure you allow for plenty of lead time to avoid disappointment.
