The Christmas Magic Storybook Experience

One hour of Christmas wonder, made just for your little one.

We’ll lead your child through photos on multiple sets, with your child as the hero of the story on a mission to save the Christmas magic. The experience is fully interactive and becomes a core Christmas memory for your child.

At your reveal session, you’ll be presented with a designed storybook layout of the adventure — an amazing Christmas gift, not only for your child, but for grandparents and family too. A keepsake cherished for generations.

Good to Know

A Few Questions First

Where does the Tree Farm session take place?
Raulston Acres Christmas Tree Farm in Rock Springs, GA.
Where will the Fall Minis be?
Locations follow the leaf color. The first weekend (Oct 24–25) will be at a mountain location, McCoy Farms, and the second (Nov 7) will be at a valley location, Reflection Riding Nature Center. Locations are subject to change based on fall foliage timing.
What should we wear?
A style guide with color palettes and outfit inspiration is sent after you book, tailored to your session.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Sundays are held as rain back-up dates for our outdoor sessions. If we need to reschedule, you'll have the option to move to a studio session or receive a refund.
How do we see our photos?
We'll set up an image reveal appointment over Zoom. You'll pick your favorites from the session and we'll talk through your retouching notes together.
Can we add more digitals?
Yes — additional retouched digitals are available. See Mini Pricing Info below for pricing.
Is the Storybook Experience shared with another family?
No. Unlike our mini sessions, the hour is booked exclusively for your family from start to finish.
How does the 2+ session discount work?
Book any two mini sessions — Fall, Tree Farm, or Studio Christmas — and 20% comes off your total. Just let us know at booking.
What's the difference between the VIP Session and the Storybook Experience?
The VIP Session is a styled portrait hour with hair & makeup for mom and a set built around your family. The Storybook Experience is a playful story adventure made for your child, who gets to be the hero.
