Christmas Minis at Santas Tree Farm 2022
To say I was nervous about this years Christmas Minis is an understatement! I wanted to do something more Christmas themed, and a beach wasn’t going to cut it.
So what’s more “Christmas-y”? – Christmas Trees! On Santas very own tree farm!

I decided to host the sessions at an adorable little tree farm called Santas Tree Farm, located in Eustis, Florida. The location is over an hour from my home and I actually never even saw the farm until the day of. So I was praying the night before that the farm would be as cute as advertised. And it didn’t disappoint.

What I loved about this spot, is that for your Christmas mini session, you could have the best of both worlds. I few family photos in the curated backdrop, or have the kids roam freely among the trees. In the end you get two very different photos from one session.

Even though the day started off horrendously hot, all the families that came for photos pushed through and received gorgeous shots. You can see a progression in the photos from the start of the afternoon right until golden hour at the end. They are all uniquely beautiful.

I’m excited to use the knowledge I learned from this years Christmas mini session to create an even better experience for anyone considering to book with me next year!
Think- new set up, more options and possibly a goody bag? You’ll have to book to see!
