A cozy, film-inspired Santa mini-session in Denver, Co — no mall lines, no meltdowns, just the kind of magic you'll want printed, framed, and passed down.
Christmas Morning
mini session
Every year you try to get the Christmas photo at home, and every year it goes the same way: someone’s crying, someone’s pajamas have a jelly stain, the tree lights are blinking at a weird angle, and you’re not in a single frame. (Again.)
This Christmas mini session in Denver, CO is your do-over. Picture a storybook Christmas bedroom: a garland-wrapped four-poster bed, a snowy flocked tree, a gallery wall of gilded frames, and a very handsome teddy bear in a plaid vest, all bathed in warm golden light. Your little ones can snuggle under the covers, giggle on the bed, and just be cozy while I capture the sleepy smiles, the sibling squeezes, and the sweet in-between moments. The whole family is welcome to pile in too.
This is a one-day-only event on Saturday, November 28, 2026 at Aperture Studio, 1201 Santa Fe Dr., Suite E, Denver, CO 80204. Spots are limited and go fast, so if sessions are still open, consider this your sign. Grab your time slot now (before the teddy bear’s calendar fills up).
