Why 20 Minutes Is Enough Time
One of the biggest questions I get is: “Can we really get good photos in just 20 minutes?” The answer is yes, absolutely. Mini sessions are designed to be short and efficient while still capturing a full gallery of images you’ll love.
Here’s why 20 minutes works so well:
- Kids stay engaged: Long sessions can lead to fidgeting or meltdowns. With a shorter session, kids are still fresh and excited, which makes for natural, happy photos.
- The location is simple: The Christmas tree farm does not need a lot of setup or moving around. The trees create the perfect backdrop, so we can get right to shooting.
- Posing is streamlined: I guide you into natural, easy poses quickly, so you do not have to wonder what to do with your hands or how to stand. That leaves more time for candid laughs and genuine moments.
- Plenty of variety: In 20 minutes, we can capture a mix of group shots, individual portraits, and candid moments. You will walk away with a gallery that feels full, not rushed.
For holiday photos, 20 minutes is truly the sweet spot. It is long enough to capture everything you need and short enough to keep the experience fun and relaxed.

What to Wear
Cozy layers always look amazing at the Christmas tree farm. Think neutral or festive colors like cream, deep green, navy, or burgundy. Add scarves, boots, or hats for extra texture. If you’re bringing little ones, keep them comfortable but festive. And yes, pets are welcome too.
