I hope you enjoy finding inspiration in prior sessions, guidance, and a few of my favorite things. All this provides a seamless approach to preserving your family’s most cherished seasons.
There’s something so precious about the way little ones run through rows of evergreens, cheeks pink from the morning air, hands wrapped around yours. These sweet moments during Christmas Mini Sessions in Virginia Beach, like your child tugging at your hand, the way they light up running between trees, are so meaningful and ones you’ll remember most.
This November, I’m offering a limited number of Christmas mini sessions in Virginia Beach at a local Christmas Tree Farm. These mini sessions are perfect for families looking for just a few intentional images with a quiet, natural feel—no big props or loud holiday theming, just your family, in a beautiful outdoor setting.
Our 2025 Christmas Tree Farm Mini Sessions will take place at Boomer Christmas Tree Farm in Virginia Beach, VA—a serene, well-maintained setting that makes a perfect backdrop for a handful of meaningful family portraits. Sessions will be held in early November during sunrise, when the light is soft and golden, and the farm is still quiet.
Each session lasts 10 minutes and is reserved for immediate family only (parents and children). These mini sessions are gently directed to help little ones warm up and allow for candid moments of connection to unfold naturally.
These Virginia Beach Christmas mini sessions are thoughtfully designed to reflect a beautiful refined approach to holiday memories. Your creative fee includes:
After your session, you’ll choose from one of three collections:
You’ll also have the option to add on bamboo ornaments and fine art canvases to elevate your holiday or home décor.
Once you’re officially booked, you’ll receive a detailed wardrobe guide to help you feel confident and at ease when choosing outfits. Think classic, cozy textures—neutral knits, soft layers, or rich seasonal tones that complement the green of the evergreens. These wardrobe choices photograph beautifully and allow your family’s connection to stay at the heart of each image. You won’t need to worry about props or posing; everything is designed to feel relaxed, with gentle guidance to help your children feel comfortable and playful. By keeping things simple and natural, you’ll walk away with images that feel like a quiet moment of calm in the middle of the season.
In the rush of the holidays, these mini sessions offer a quiet way to preserve what matters most: your family, just as they are, in a beautiful, timeless setting. The resulting portraits bring more than just seasonal charm—they become part of your family’s story, year after year.
Choosing a Christmas mini session at a Virginia Beach tree farm is more than checking Christmas cards off your holiday to-do list. It’s about stepping into a sweet moment of childlike joy with your little ones in a naturally beautiful holiday setting. Forget the holiday rush and focus on the people you love most. I’ve designed these sessions to offer a blend of gentle direction and space to just be—a rare moment to pause, breathe, and enjoy your family as they are right now.
I offer mini sessions just twice a year, and Christmas Mini Sessions in Virginia Beach are by far the most in-demand.

This is a simple, seasonal experience designed to help you slow down and remember what really matters.
