Christmas Mini Sessions Melbourne
2026 Edition
Two Christmas sets. One beautiful Christmas experience.
Step into a vintage Christmas morning, then wander into a snowy Christmas world, all within your 20-minute session. Both sets are included.
The magic of Christmas, beautifully remembered.
THE EXPERIENCE
A Christmas experience, not just a quick photograph
These sessions are designed to be relaxed, playful and beautifully simple.
Rather than asking your children to sit perfectly and smile at the camera, I'll guide them through little moments within the sets — playing, cuddling, exploring, looking at the tree and enjoying the magic of Christmas.
The result is a mixture of beautiful portraits and genuine moments of connection between siblings and parents.

The heart Behind This Christmas Set
Over the past year, my own understanding of Christmas has changed in a really beautiful way. Christmas has come to mean something very different to me — beyond the presents, the excitement and the magic of Christmas morning, I've found myself reflecting on the true heart of Christmas: the birth of Christ.
So this year, I wanted to create something that felt a little more meaningful.
A little Christmas morning at home.
A place for wonder, warmth, family and all those little moments we'll remember long after Christmas has passed.
I hope you love it as much as I loved creating it.
A Vintage Christmas Morning
Step into a nostalgic little Christmas morning, filled with twinkling lights, vintage treasures and the anticipation of Christmas Day.
This year's Melbourne Christmas mini sessions have been carefully styled to feel like a treasured childhood Christmas — the tree glowing in the corner, presents waiting underneath, favourite toys scattered about and a cosy bed ready for Christmas morning cuddles.
It's intentionally timeless rather than themed. Beautiful whites, soft reds, vintage textures and meaningful little details come together to create photographs that feel nostalgic without looking dated.
Your children can come in their favourite Christmas pyjamas, snuggle together, read a Christmas story, play with the toys, peek beneath the tree or simply enjoy being together.
A Snowy Christmas
A little winter magic in the studio. Snow-covered trees, twinkling lights and our beautiful vintage sled create a simple, enchanting setting for Christmas portraits. Wear your favourite vintage inspired attire, knitted jumpers and fluffy santa hat or beanie!
Both Christmas sets are included in your session.

babies experiencing their first Christmas
-
toddlers and young children

Whether you're looking for Christmas photos in Melbourne, a special portrait of your little one or beautiful family photographs to treasure and share with loved ones, these sessions are designed around real connection and childhood memories.
What should we wear for Christmas mini sessions?
Christmas pyjamas are beautiful on the Christmas Morning set, particularly soft whites, traditional reds, tartans and classic Christmas prints.
For family photographs, I recommend choosing clothing that feels timeless, and comfortable rather than dressing everyone identically. Coordinating outfits look best.
If you'd like help choosing outfits, I'm always happy to guide you.
And then perhaps three little visual examples.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
FAQ
Where are your Christmas mini sessions held?
Christmas mini sessions are held at my private home studio in Rowville, south-east Melbourne.
Do I get to use both Christmas sets?
Yes. Both Christmas sets are included in your session.
How many photographs are included?
Your session includes 5 high-resolution digital images, with additional images available to purchase.
Can we have family photographs?
Yes. Parents and siblings are welcome, so your session can include a mixture of individual children's portraits and family photographs.
What age are Christmas minis suitable for?
Christmas mini sessions are suitable for babies, toddlers, children and families. The sets have been designed to work beautifully across different ages.
Can my baby be photographed?
Absolutely. Babies are very welcome, and I'll work with their individual personality and stage of development rather than expecting them to pose in a particular way.
What happens if my child doesn't cooperate?
Children don't always follow the plan — especially at Christmas! I'll work with what your child gives us and use play, movement and connection to create beautiful photographs rather than putting pressure on them to perform.
Can I purchase more than the included images?
Yes. Additional images are available to purchase after your session.
