Wait, didn’t summer just end? I don’t know about you, but it sure seems like it to me. Now holiday commercials are already playing, and I even heard Christmas music the other day in a store. As the holiday season fast approaches, many of us are on the lookout for the perfect gift. And we’re not talking about another pair of socks (though I would take those!), but something special.  While store-bought gifts can be thoughtful, there's something truly special about a gift that's not just beautiful but also deeply meaningful. Here are a few ideas for you to think about as you look at your Christmas shopping list.

Are you looking for a Christmas mini session near Londonderry? You’re in the right place! While we LOVE our full-service portrait photography process, we have a special place in our hearts for our Christmas mini sessions, which we lovingly call “Petite Holiday Sessions.” Instead of our full-service process, you can experience a “mini version” of that signature process while capturing your family’s annual portrait in the studio. It’s really a win-win. You get your family’s photo, and we get to see you! We love it when current clients come back for this session and can meet new ones. Here are five reasons why you should book a Christmas Mini Session this year.
