This Season Deserves to Be Remembered

The people you love will never be exactly as they are in this season again. The Holiday Heirloom Portrait Experience is designed to slow time for a moment—bringing your family together in a warm, beautifully styled setting while I guide you through every detail.

This is more than a seasonal photo session. It is an opportunity to create meaningful portraits that will live in your home today and become part of your family’s story for generations.

What You Can Expect

Guided From Start to Finish

From posing and expression to family groupings, you’ll be gently directed throughout your session so everyone feels comfortable and looks their best.

Wardrobe Preparation

Beautifully Retouched Portraits

Your selected portraits will be individually refined with care, preserving natural skin tones, genuine expressions, and the details that make your family uniquely yours.

After your session, we’ll meet for a private reveal where you’ll select your favorite portraits and explore meaningful artwork for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reserve my Holiday Heirloom session?

Choose your preferred experience using the reservation buttons above, then select an available date and time. A $195 reservation payment secures your session. The remaining balance is due seven days before your scheduled date.

What should my family wear?

After reserving, you’ll receive wardrobe guidance designed for the warm, elegant holiday setting. Choose coordinated—not identical—outfits in cream, ivory, camel, taupe, warm beige, forest green, muted gold, or other rich neutrals. Avoid neon colors, large logos, busy graphics, and very small high-contrast patterns.

Where will the sessions take place?

Sessions will take place at our studio in San Dimas, California. The complete address, arrival instructions, and preparation details will be provided after your reservation is confirmed.

What happens if we arrive late?

Please plan to arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled session. Because sessions are reserved closely together, a late arrival will reduce your available portrait time and cannot extend the scheduled ending time.

Can we change outfits during our session?

These sessions are intentionally streamlined and do not include outfit changes. Please arrive fully dressed and ready to be photographed so we can devote your session to portraits and family groupings.

Can we purchase additional portraits or artwork?

Yes. During your private portrait reveal, you may purchase additional digital portraits and heirloom artwork for your home. These are optional selections beyond what’s included in your chosen experience.
