🎄 MARIE BURNS PHOTOGRAPHY - 2026 CHRISTMAS SESSIONS ARE HERE! 🎄
Here's a peek at all 4 magical settings! 👇
1) 🚂 MAGICAL SANTA EXPERIENCE - Santa's Christmas Express with Santa Dale!
My most requested session and it's pure magic! This Polar Express-inspired train set is for the kids and Santa Dale is BACK! He is amazing with the children — he talks with them, tells stories, and brings out those genuine laughs and sweet expressions that make the BEST photos... and mamas, even if they cry, we have a plan to make those photos keepers too! Each child gets to keep their golden train ticket as a souvenir. And don't forget our Marie Burns Photography Christmas tradition — the kids get to grab instruments and sing a Christmas song with Santa (and yes, you can record it on your phone!)
📍 Howe, TX studio
📅 Saturday, November 14 & 21 | ⏰ Sessions begin at 11 AM
💰 $175 - Includes 7 storybook-edited images + a visit with the BEST Santa around!
Santa Day Info: I book multiple sessions each hour. When you arrive, check in with my helper and we go in the order you arrive. This keeps us on track if someone is running late, or if a child needs a little extra time we can move to the next and circle back.
To book: $50 non-refundable retainer, $125 balance due by session day
2) 💚 THE GREEN MENACE HAS LANDED! (Grinch-inspired)
He's more mischievous than ever! We're taking over an airplane hangar right beside the cutest white & red striped airplane - it looks like a candy cane! Your kids will laugh SO hard interacting with him. (PS: we have no problem showing the kids that it's just a mommy in a costume if they are afraid. This way they will know it's all in good fun.)
📍 Anna, TX
📅 Sunday, November 1 | ⏰ Sessions begin at 1:00
💰 $300 - Includes 10 images
⚠️ Only 6 spaces available — I might be able to squeeze in 8!
To book: $100 non-refundable retainer, $200 balance due day of session
3) 🐮 A TEXAS REINDEER CHRISTMAS with Bonnie the Highland Cow!
My families LOVED this one last year and really enjoyed it! Note: The photo shown for this set is a mockup using the ACTUAL decor I purchased. Red livestock trailer fully decorated with flocked tree with cow hide ornaments + cowboy hat tree topper, cow hide rug, cowhide & leather pillows on hay bale seating, real saddle & rustic decor. We can even put Christmas lights on Bonnie's horns!
📍 Grayson County, TX
📅 Saturday, November 7 | ⏰ Sessions begin at 3:00 PM
💰 $250 - Includes 10 images
To book: $50 non-refundable retainer to hold your spot
4) ❄️ FAMILY CHRISTMAS AT THE STUDIO + SNOW BABY
Have family in town for Thanksgiving? This is PERFECT! Snow-covered, neutral studio setting so ANY outfit colors work — traditional red & green or something else, it all works! Dress in coats, hats, scarves, and gloves, or sweaters and jeans, or more dressy. We can also use this same setting to have some fun with sitters or toddlers and do a Snow-Baby photo session.
📍 Howe, TX studio

💰 $175 - Includes 7 edited images (your choice of regular edits or my fine art/storybook style - magic photos are usually edited storybook) | Price is for immediate family, additional charge for extended family
To book: $50 non-refundable retainer, remainder due on session day
