What to wear

The set is red, green and gold on soft white, so cream, camel, ivory, navy and forest green sit beautifully on it.
One or two colours for the family, not matching outfits. Velvet, knits and texture photograph richly.
Avoid bright red head to toe (it disappears into the loveseat) and big logos.

Questions

Where is it?

An indoor studio in Getty Square, Yonkers, NY, minutes from Bronxville, Scarsdale and Riverdale. The exact studio address comes with your confirmation.

How much is it?

$229 total per family for 20 minutes and 5 retouched images. No sitting fee, no print package to buy afterwards.

When are the dates?

November 21–22 & December 5–6, 10 AM to 1 PM. Families book back-to-back 20-minute spots, so each date has only nine. Booking closes two days before.

Can grandparents join?

Yes. The price covers the whole family on the set. Bringing a dog? Text first so I can check with the studio.

What if my kids melt down?

It happens, and 20 minutes with breaks built in is usually enough. I work around the kids rather than asking them to perform; a few in-between moments are often the best frames.

Is it refundable?

Bookings are non-refundable and there are no refunds after the photoshoot. You can reschedule free with 48+ hours' notice to another open spot.

Not sure of the date yet?

Join the list and you'll get first pick of the Christmas spots 48 hours before they open to everyone. No payment.
