There is no doubt in my mind that Christmas, and the holiday season in general, is full of glowing, sparkling, twinkling things.
Full of lights, candles, glittery decorations, and bright colors (like silver and gold), our eyes can find sparkle in almost every corner. It certainly is a different time in the studio as well.
Holiday Season Studio Prep
With a wide variety of backdrops accumulated over the years, I am ready for just about any scenario. I allow the clients to select their favorite from a list, and then work to "set up" a scene based on their selection.

I really don't do holiday mini sessions. I want to spend time with each client, and make their experience special, unrushed, and fun. I open my studio to holiday photos every November 1st, and run through the second week of December for ordering purposes, but will often take in clients as needed beyond that timeframe.
The results, as my grandkids and my own pets can attest, are full of sparkle and joy!

Grandkids have fun every year in a new scene.
Yes, I am one of THOSE grandmothers, who puts her grandkids to work acting as models for backdrops. Now, they can't wait until a new backdrop comes in, so they can help create the scenario!
Pets Sparkle Too!
I decided to look back through my photos in Decembers past and found some sparkly activity that took place in the studio, with both my pets and others. Here is a small sample.

Prepping Your Pet for Sparkling Photos
I often meet concerned pet owners who wonder if their pet will be able to "behave" long enough for a photo session. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve to allow me the THREE SECONDS required for the perfect photo, and I am used to working with pets who come from ALL training levels, from "none" to obedience grand masters.
Studio sessions are perfect for dogs who may be reactive to other pets. It's quiet, enclosed, friendly, and there is plenty of patience to go around while your dog investigates his/her surroundings in the studio. Unlike rushed-line mini sessions in public places, you can be assured your pet will settle into the studio, and have plenty of time to do so.
Bring your pet's favorite treat along, as I use them (sparingly) to make him/her feel right at home.
If you have a favorite holiday collar, and would like it showcased, bring that along, too. I normally do not do gimmicky clothing shots, as they distract from the beauty of your pet, but I am okay with antlers or a Santa hat or festive ruff.
There is a certain magic about the season for sure. If you'd like to explore some magical photo sessions in a great environment, with your choice of backdrops and PLENTY of time to give your pet a feeling of comfort and security, let's make it happen.
I have holiday photos of all of our pets for lasting memories into the future. I know they are not going to be with me forever, so I also have their photographs made into ornaments. Every year I see our studio creations come to life on our Christmas tree.
I hope each of you have the merriest, happiest, most sparkly and best holiday--whatever you celebrate! Enjoy!
