The 2026 Christmas Experience



This season we are building an all-new white-and-champagne Christmas set: frosted trees, warm glowing lights and elegant seating, designed for timeless holiday portraits.



We photograph one family at a time, so there are no crowds and no rushing. Your session is a relaxed 30 minutes in our private studio in Berlin, Connecticut.
