Make This Holiday Photo Season Stress-Free, Cozy, and Actually Enjoyable


Get my free Holiday Photo Planner + Gift Guide and learn how to plan, prep, and enjoy your holiday photos without the chaos — from what to wear to what gifts to order (and when).


If the thought of planning holiday photos makes you want to hide behind your coffee mug — you’re not alone.

After photographing hundreds of families over the past 25 years, I’ve learned that most people don’t need more Pinterest boards or matching pajamas — they need a plan that makes the process easy and enjoyable.


That’s what this guide is.


It walks you through:

  • When to plan, book, and order so you’re never scrambling
  • How to choose outfits that look natural and photograph beautifully
  • What to bring and how to prep for calm, real moments
  • Creative ways to turn your photos into heartfelt holiday gifts

Whether this is your first family session or your tenth, you’ll finish this guide feeling ready — and

maybe even excited — for your holiday photos.


🎁 No fluff. No overwhelm. Just real, useful tips from a photographer who’s been through every version of photo day chaos imaginable.
