Holiday family photos are the portraits most families actually print. Booking a short holiday session in November gives you finished images in time to design cards, order prints for grandparents and still enjoy December. If you want more than three images or more looks, a full studio family session or outdoor family session gives you more time and a larger gallery.

Book as soon as the holiday calendar opens. Outdoor Christmas by the River minis start in early November, and weekend golden-hour times go first. If you want photos back for Christmas cards, book by mid-November so your 3 retouched images arrive in time to print and mail.
Your private gallery arrives within 2 weeks of your session. That timing is built for holiday cards: a session in the first half of November leaves plenty of room to design, print and mail your cards before the holidays.
A White Christmas is in Mallary's New Tampa studio with snow-kissed evergreens, glowing lanterns, a winter archway and white flooring, so weather never matters. Christmas by the River is outdoors at the UT Riverfront with palm trees, the river and the downtown skyline, styled with a flocked tree, wrapped gifts and plaid throws.
Up to 7 people are included in either holiday session, which fits most families with kids, or parents with grandparents. For bigger groups or more variety, a full Studio or Outdoor family session gives you more time and more edited images.
Pick two or three colors that work with the set. Creams, deep greens, burgundy and soft gold look beautiful against both the white winter studio set and the riverfront greenery. Matching pajamas are fun for the studio set, and textured knits or velvet photograph richly in either setting.
Each holiday session is $225 for a 20-minute session with 3 professionally retouched images. A 50% deposit of $112.50 reserves your time, and the balance is due before your session.
Yes. The 20-minute format works well for little ones, and the studio set keeps everyone comfortable and out of the weather. Plan your time around naps and snacks, and bring one small favorite toy to help with smiles.
