Holiday mini sessions in Niceville FL are my sweet answer to the great Santa meltdown, and both of my babies starred in it. Two little faces turned bright red, two tiny voices told the whole line exactly how they felt, and I still laugh every time I see those photos. My mom has proof that baby Andrea did the exact same thing, so crying on Santa’s lap is officially a family tradition.
I love Santa sessions and I think they are a rite of passage. I have always wanted to offer something alongside them, a session that feels slower and more personal, with a little more magic. Children get to be themselves in a beautiful setting instead of being handed to a stranger in a red suit.
This year I made it happen. My holiday mini sessions in Niceville, FL arrive as the Enchanted Nutcracker, in my studio on November 14th, with six sessions across the morning. If your little one is a storybook-and-ballet-shoes kind of holiday soul, I think they are going to love it.
Step Inside the Enchanted Nutcracker Studio Setting
In my Niceville studio this November, I built an enchanted holiday setting from the ground up. Every detail was chosen with care, and the colors are soft and timeless: champagne, blush, ivory, and gold.
The Champagne and Blush Christmas Tree
A champagne and blush Christmas tree stands in the corner, dusted with snow and glowing softly. Ballerina shoes and delicate ornaments nestle in the branches, and soft white tulle drapes through the boughs.
The Life-Sized Wooden Nutcracker
A life-sized wooden nutcracker watches over the scene, carved and painted in warm neutral tones, exactly the kind you would find in a storybook illustration. The setting needs very little direction, because your little one will be drawn into it. It is what I had in mind when I set out to create Christmas mini sessions in Niceville, FL that feel different from the usual.
What to Expect From Holiday Mini Sessions in Niceville FL
Each Enchanted Nutcracker session is 20 minutes, and you’ll be guided every step of the way. You will not stand around wondering what to do next. I handle the direction so you can enjoy watching your child in this setting.

Outfits and Studio Wardrobe
For little girls, I have a selection of velvet dresses in classic holiday tones to borrow from my studio wardrobe, complimentary. A light blue or classic holiday look works beautifully for boys, and your session guide includes outfit suggestions for the whole family.
Your booking includes a complete digital session guide, sent after you reserve your spot, so you feel prepared when you walk through the door.
Bringing the Whole Family Into the Frame
You can add everyone for $100. The add-on includes extended time so I can photograph all of you together, and it pairs well with the full gallery upgrade if you want to keep every portrait.
