Our favorite time of the year...
The twinkle lights are coming out, the weather is getting cozier, and that can only mean one thing ; holiday minis are almost here. This season is truly one of our favorites to photograph families. The joy, the outfits, the laughter, the chaotic toddler moments ; it all makes for the sweetest memories.
One thing we love most about this time of year is seeing so many familiar faces. Holiday minis bring back so many of our repeat clients, and it means the world to us. Watching your families grow year after year is honestly the best part of what we do. Your trust, your energy, and your little traditions make these sessions feel like a reunion every single time.
Why We Love Shooting at Dairyland’s Tree Farm
We’re especially excited because once again, our minis are taking place at Dairyland’s beautiful tree farm in Snohomish. This spot is pure holiday magic. The evergreens, the open pathways, the soft winter light; it all creates the dreamiest PNW backdrop. There’s something special about photographing families surrounded by rows of fresh Christmas trees. It feels warm, nostalgic, and perfectly festive without feeling staged. It’s truly one of our favorite places to shoot.
What You Can Expect
Our minis are designed to be easy and stress-free. You’ll get:
- A cozy, seasonal outdoor setup among the trees
- Natural posing and prompts that help everyone feel comfortable

Whether you’re coming with your partner, your kids, your pets, or the whole crew, we’ll capture the special moments you’ll want to look back on every year.
