🎄 Christmas Mini Session Model Call 🎄

I’m looking for one family to model for my brand-new Christmas Mini Session setup!

📅 Date: August 10
🕕 Time: 6:00 PM
📍 Location: Coloma, CA

This session is being photographed to create promotional images for this year’s Christmas Mini Sessions. I’m looking for a family that is comfortable having their images featured on my website, social media, and other marketing materials.

Please read all of the information below before applying.

What You’ll Receive

* A complimentary Christmas Mini Session
* A $300 print credit to use toward printed artwork and products only

Please Read Carefully

There are ZERO complimentary digital images included with this model call.

The $300 print credit cannot be applied toward digital image purchases. It may only be used toward printed artwork and products.

If you choose to purchase digital images after viewing your photographs, they are available as a separate purchase.

Following your session, we’ll schedule either an in-home or Zoom ordering appointment where you’ll view your images and choose any artwork or products you’d like to purchase. Most families invest between $1,000 and $2,000 in custom artwork and products, depending on what they choose. There is absolutely no obligation to purchase beyond the complimentary $300 print credit.

Requirements

* Must be available on August 10 at 6:00 PM in Coloma.
* Must be willing to sign a model release allowing images to be used for marketing.
* Clothing must be approved in advance to fit the vision of the session.

Before You Apply

Please do not apply if you are looking for complimentary digital images, as none are included with this model call. The purpose of this model call is to create promotional images while allowing you to experience my full-service portrait process.

If you’ve read and understand all of the information above and would love to be considered, please send me:

* A recent family photo
* The names and ages of everyone participating
* A brief description of your family and why you’d love to be selected

I can’t wait to create something beautiful with one special family this Christmas! 🎄

I also like adding “There is absolutely no obligation to purchase beyond the complimentary $300 print credit.” It makes the investment expectation transparent while reassuring people they won’t be pressured, which tends to build trust.

One day these little moments become the ones you miss the most.

The way they reach for your hand.
The giggles.
The way they still fit in your lap.

Family portraits aren’t just for today. They’re for the years from now when everything has changed.

If you’ve been saying, “We really need to update our family photos,” this is your sign.

I’d love to create something your family will treasure for generations.

People always ask if the sky really looked like this. The answer? It starts in camera. A little planning, great light, and a bit of editing bring it all together.

What’s something you’ve always wondered about professional photography?

Every now and then, everything comes together perfectly. ✨

This beautiful look came together with one of the pieces from my Client Closet, making it easy for her to have a unique, styled portrait without the stress of shopping.

I love creating images that feel a little different… a little more like art than just a photograph. The wildflowers, the evening sky, and a gorgeous outfit all came together to create something she’ll be able to enjoy for years.

The Client Closet is available to all of my senior and portrait clients, so if you’ve been dreaming of a session that feels effortless while still looking incredible, I’ve got you covered.
