CHRISTMAS PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS
SOLD OUT for 2024!
What to expect
Whether you are looking for a set of light and bright Christmas images with plenty of festive fun and frivolity, a traditional Christmas scene with your child at the heart of it, that brings your own vintage Christmas card to life, or a combination of the sessions on offer, we will create unforgettable memories for your children that will last a lifetime.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN YOUR SESSION
Three edited digital images (via download)
A Christmas gift for your child(ren) chosen just for them
A Christmas biscuit for each child from Mason’s Bakes
A password-protected online gallery to view and order your images
A dedicated WhatsApp number to discuss styling prior to the session
THINGS TO KNOW
Session fee is for up to two children. Siblings can be added for £10 per child (this will be added to your remainder invoice). If you have 4 children or more I recommend booking two sessions consecutively to allow sufficient time.
If you would like cousins/friends to have images together, please ensure you book two consecutive sessions.
A deposit of £45 is required to confirm your session, the remainder will be payable 4 weeks before your session and will be requested via invoice over email.
After your session
Within 1 week of your session, you will receive a link to a password protected online gallery of the session to choose your 3 included images and purchase additional images, prints, festive gifts and artwork if you wish. Once you have chosen your images and ordered any additional images, and payment has been made, images will be added to the editing schedule to be sent to you 3-4 weeks later - the sooner you order the sooner you get your images back!
Additional digital images: £25 (reduced to £12.50 if you order within 3 days of receiving your gallery)
The Sessions

Christmas Tree Farm - CLOSED FOR BOOKINGS
£99 | 20 minute session
Saturday 19th October
The session fee for the Christmas Tree Farm has been REDUCED for 2024 as (with the absence of Santa) I have decided to try a simpler version of this session for 2024 and will not be bringing my red sofa or postbox this year. Children absolutely love to run wild among the incredible Christmas trees at Strawson Woodland near Louth and this is truly the most beautiful setting for your family portraits.
These sessions are guaranteed to make sure you are in the festive spirit nice and early with images perfect for Christmas cards and gifts. This is all about family time, walking around the Christmas trees, lots of snuggles, mistletoe and I will have a festive blanket with me for some chill out cuddles at the end of your session. If you want to ensure you can display these images all year round simply choose clothing that isn’t overly festive and you can enjoy these images way past December!
Sessions are taking place in October in the hopes there is just a light chill in the air, perfect for cosy jumpers and boots, pretty dresses with plenty of sparkle, scarves, hats, gilets, perhaps even elegant coats.
Milk & Cookies - SOLD OUT!
£99 | 20 Minute Session
Saturday 9th, Sunday 10th, Friday 15th & Saturday 16th November
A more relaxed and fun session where your child is encouraged to eat, drink and be very merry! Christmas pyjamas, and matching ones for siblings (and parents too) are a must to really make these images ones for the family album! Portraits will be more informal in nature as part of the relaxed nature of this session. Milk & cookies will be provided and make for some fantastic photos to treasure! If you have a child that isn’t yet eating/drinking we can do this session without those! The Friday sessions are perfect for little ones not yet at school!
Winter Wilderness - SOLD OUT!
£99 | 20 minute Session
Saturday 9th November
This set is perfect for the more active little ones. Whilst in the safety of The Cabin, they will pretend to ride in a sled across snow covered fields with the tall trees behind them whilst throwing snow at their siblings and even at me! This session will be full of fun and bright images and for the attire I recommend outdoor wear or jumpers with hats and scarves. This session is a great alternative for the families who desire light and airy images but without the pyjamas worn in the Milk & Cookies session!
NEW set for 2024! - SOLD OUT!
£99 | 20 minute session
Sunday 10th November
I’m going to be shooting this set very soon so you can see my vision come to life - and I’ll need some help naming this session too! In the meantime, this is a hint of what you can expect. The backdrop is shown below and I just love it so much. It's an outdoors, winter scene and there will be lots of snow on the floor and my gorgeous postbox will be in this set too for posting those letters to Santa!
It'll have a lot of similarities to Winter Wilderness (and may even replace it completely in 2025 🤫) but with the addition of gorgeous fairy lights and some added warmth with those beautiful lamp posts too, I can't wait to see this one come to life!
The Night Before Christmas - SOLD OUT!
£99 | 20 minute session
Friday 15th & Saturday 16th November
This set is getting a little makeover too, you can see a hint below! It'll still be very similar to the usual images with a gorgeous dark and cosy room complete with log fire & stockings and traditional Christmas touches however the real Christmas tree won't be featuring in this new set. The reason we won't have the real tree this year is to make room for a gorgeous new window scene to add even more variety to your gallery from this session - model images pending!
Dressed in traditional attire, this setup lovingly echoes vintage images of Christmas that make us feel all warm and fuzzy with some added Christmas magic. This session includes the classic fine-art style ‘Santa window image’, with a selection of classic portrait images of your child individually and with any siblings, and with the option for timeless family portraits too. Santa is not physically present at this session. The Friday sessions are perfect for little ones not yet at school!
‘The Cabin At Christmas’ window image - SOLD OUT!
£49 | 10 minute session
This is the perfect add-on to another studio session (£39) or as a stand alone mini session (£49) if you are wanting the perfect image for Christmas cards or as a gift for family this year. ‘The Cabin at Christmas’ has been created exclusively for Mama Bear Photography and features The Cabin set into the snowiest scene, surrounded by trees as Santa flies across the moon with his reindeer - festive perfection!
Also included is an animated film of snow falling from the sky behind the window to bring this image to life. An option with text can be created also to wish friends and family a Merry Christmas on social media or via email/WhatsApp.
Please note this mini session includes one image only and does not include a gift from Santa but your child(ren) will receive a festive Mason’s Bakes biscuit when booked as a standalone session! Not suitable for adults. Not available as an add-on to the Christmas Tree Farm.
The Santa Experience - UNAVAILABLE FOR 2024
If you came here looking to book my luxury Santa Experience unfortunately this is unavailable for 2024 due to Santa being unwell. We are all wishing him a speedy recovery and hope that he can join us again in 2025 to continue the amazing memory making he has done with so many families, including my own, over the last few years.
Booking more than one session?
If you simply can’t choose between the sessions available and wish to book more than one, let me thank you by gifting one EXTRA digital per session for any additional sessions booked. For example, if you book Winter Wilderness alongside a Milk & Cookies session you will receive TWO extra digitals for free! If you book another session alongside those two, you will receive another extra digital and so on!
