Winter Wonderland Christmas Minis 2026 ❄️

Hello lovely families,

Can you believe we're already talking about Christmas? It might only be July, but if you've ever found yourself scrambling in November wondering where the year disappeared to, this is your sign to get ahead of the festive rush.

Christmas has a funny way of sneaking up on us. Between presents to buy, end-of-year celebrations, school events, work functions, family gatherings, and trying to organise Christmas cards, there is so much to think about.

So this year, let me take one thing off your mental load.

Book your Christmas Mini Session now, lock in your preferred date, and enjoy my special Christmas in July pricing before prices increase on 1st August.

"But why are the photos AI?"

I know. I know.

"Another AI image?"

Please hear me out!

It's only July, and while Christmas is still five months away, my studio has been full with family sessions, promotional shoots, and client work. I simply haven't had the opportunity to completely build this year's Christmas set just yet.

The images you're seeing are there to showcase the vision and my exact printed backdrop, but the magic doesn't stop there.

Most of this set is 100% real.

Think snowy pine trees, rustic wooden textures, glowing lanterns, chunky knit blankets, mugs of hot chocolate, soft snow under little feet, handcrafted snowflakes, and all those beautiful interactive details children absolutely love.

The best part? The children won't just be looking at the set, they'll be playing in it!

Many of the finishing touches are still being handmade, so I'll continue updating the promotional images as everything comes together over the coming weeks. Once my creativity gets going, it's very hard to stop!

A White Christmas, Queensland Style

Imagine stepping into a magical winter wonderland without ever leaving Queensland.

Deep pine greens.

Snowy whites.

Rich timber tones.

A sprinkle of shimmering silver.

Just enough Christmas red to make everything feel warm and festive.

This year's set has been designed to feel cosy, magical, and incredibly fun for children, but also stylish enough just for adults too.

Forget stiff poses and forced smiles.

We'll be cuddling under blankets, throwing snowballs, laughing together, and creating genuine moments that feel like Christmas memories instead of just Christmas photos.

Because those real smiles?

They're the ones you'll treasure forever.

What should we wear?

This is your excuse to finally pull out those cosy winter outfits or dress things up a little for a timeless Christmas look!

Whether your family loves a relaxed, snuggly vibe or prefers something a little more polished, this set works beautifully with both.

Think:

• Chunky knit jumpers and cosy cardigans
• Soft knit dresses and warm winter layers
• Linen or cotton shirts with chinos or dark jeans
• Long skirts, flowing dresses or tailored trousers
• Warm neutral knits in cream, oatmeal, camel or soft green
• Rich greens, chocolate browns and touches of festive red
• Boots, scarves and beanies for extra winter charm
• Matching family pyjamas or your favourite Christmas sweaters for a fun, playful feel

Whether you choose timeless winter styling, coordinated family outfits, or a cosy Christmas PJ party, the focus will always be on your family, your connection, and the fun you create together.

A few things to note

• Sessions are suitable for families, children, siblings, couples and grandparents.

• If you're planning to include multiple families, please book two or more consecutive sessions to allow enough time for everyone, as each session slot is designed for one immediate family unit.

• Dates are very limited and usually book quickly.

Every year I look forward to seeing my amazing clients again and welcoming new faces too! Watching your children grow, welcoming new babies, and documenting another chapter of your family's story is one of the greatest privileges of my job.

I genuinely think this year's Winter Wonderland is going to be my favourite yet, and I cannot wait to share it with you.

So grab your favourite date, enjoy the Christmas in July special before it disappears, and let's create a little Christmas magic together.

I can't wait to see you in the studio.
