Poinsettia Dreams

This is a setup I’ve truly fallen in love with, featuring two enchanting backdrops that evoke the magic of the season. The first backdrop takes you to a nostalgic trolley street, while the second offers a cozy street view of a house decked out in poinsettias. I'm so excited to offer this set up! Exclusively for those looking to capture a unique holiday memory and not necessarily too Christmassy.

Teddy Bear Shoppe.

I'm excited to bring back this adorable backdrop by popular demand! Several of my clients have specifically requested it, and I couldn’t resist making it available again. This setup is designed just for kids, so it's a perfect opportunity to capture the magic of childhood in a special setting—no families this time, just little ones having fun! Available upon request only on weekdays this year.

Last opportunity to book! We are retiring Elf on the shelf next year!

We are so in love with our elf on the shelf Christmas pictures that we’ve decided to offer them this year again! Both backgrounds are included and we can do classic Christmas portraits first before dressing up as elves.

For the families that had it all… There are also these backgrounds available for custom photo sessions.
