🎄 My 20-Minute Festive Mini Sessions are BACK!🎄


After selling out two years in a row,  my Christmas Mini Sessions in Amsterdam are back for 2026, with a brand-new festive set designed to make your family photos extra special.

This year, I'm creating a cosy yet minimal Christmas setting, with natural wooden details, soft festive greenery and timeless seasonal touches. The sessions will take place indoors in a beautiful Amsterdam studio, so you can enjoy the experience whatever the Dutch weather has in store. (And trust me, I'll be particularly grateful not to be shooting outside this year! 😉)

Whether you have a newborn, a toddler or older children, these sessions are designed for the whole family. With a selection of baby-friendly Christmas props, even the tiniest family members can join in!

FAQ

Can I come by car?

Absolutely! Parking is available on the street right by the studio. The parking is free on saturday and sunday but you will have to pay if your time slot is on friday.

Can I come by public transport?

The studio is conveniently located right next to the Sloterdijk station (which has train, tram and bus connections). You can from from the station to the studio in about 10min.

Can I bring my dog?

Well-behaved doggies are welcome to join the Christmas fun ;)

Can we bring additional family members?

The setup is designed for immediate families (parents + kids). If you’d like to include extended family, please contact me beforehand to discuss availability and possible adjustments.

What should we wear?

The set colors I selected are voluntarily neutral to work with a big variety of outfits! I suggest cozy yet put together holiday outfits. Colors such as: forest green, red, burgundy, cream, white, beige... Layers, knits, and subtle festive accessories are great too. Don't forget shoes are part of the outfit!
My tip: choose a color palette and dress the whole family in those tones. Make sure to iron your clothes beforehand if needed.

What if my child is shy or fussy?

As a mom myself, my biggest advice is to explain to your child beforehand what will happen during the photoshoot: explain what a camera is and why we will be taking photos, have fun practicing model poses and silly smiles before...
My photoshoots are always fun and relaxed experiences but feel free to bring your child's favorite toy or snack to ease the process.

A sneak peak of the decor


Here’s a little AI-generated preview of what this year’s set will look like 🥰

Think a classic white backdrop that flows seamlessly onto the floor, natural wooden details, a cosy Christmas tree, lush greenery and warm twinkling lights. There’ll also be a wooden bench and wooden toys for the little ones to interact with - creating a cosy, minimal Christmas setting that feels festive yet timeless.
