Holiday Sessions 2021 — Palatine Child and Family Photographer

This is the first year I’m offering options for holiday mini sessions for babies, children and families since Covid started. There will be limited options for children and families with many backdrops available. These mini sessions are purchased ahead of time with a set number of digital files and are different than the past years due to restrictions needed but I’m SO excited to offer them! I will be start booking these sessions on Saturday, November 20th, 2021. Thank you for your patience as I am still finishing up on editing some Fall Mini Sessions!

Family Holiday Mini Sessions are $275 and include a 10 minute session with our Santa’s Living Room backdrop OR Farmhouse Jingle Lights (new this year — see photos below) with an online gallery of 6 digital files. You have the option to upgrade your session to a deluxe mini session which is a 15 minute session and you will receive 15 files for only $100 more ($375 total). This price is for up to 4 people and all additional children are $15 each. There will be special holiday deals and products available for this event as well.

Family Holiday mini sessions are for immediate family members only. Everyone MUST be in your immediate family and not extended family (no cousins or grandparents for this event). These are not meant for a large number of younger children that are shy or have trouble sitting or standing with a parent as they are quick and traditional poses in the studio.
