A Magical Studio Christmas Mini Photoshoot NJ Experience

The Renee Ash Photography Studio is located in The Shoppes at Lafayette, right in the heart of Sussex County, New Jersey. It’s a warm, inviting space filled with beautiful light, perfect for creating timeless holiday portraits that will become treasured memories (and beautiful Christmas cards!).

This year, I’ve created two gorgeous Christmas setups for you to choose from:

✨ Classic Christmas Mini Photoshoot NJ Family Set

Think twinkling lights, a beautiful Christmas tree, a cozy couch, and nostalgic details like vintage children’s toys, a white rocking horse, and a little train set. This setup is perfect for a polished holiday look, ideal for formal family outfits, cozy sweaters, or even your best coordinating Christmas PJs.

Whether you’re dressing to impress in festive holiday glam, keeping it simple with casual knits, or going all-in with matching jammies, this scene makes every family look amazing.

🍪 Milk & Cookies Magic

If you have little ones who love to play pretend, you’ll adore the Milk & Cookies Set!
This sweet setup lets your children play out “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” reading a bedtime story, leaving out milk for Santa (don’t worry, it’s a prop, so no crying over spilled milk here!), and nibbling on real chocolate chip or sugar cookies.

It’s the perfect way to capture those giggly, magical childhood moments, full of authentic laughter, movement, and connection.

These playful prompts and activities help your children relax and have fun, so you don’t need to worry about forced smiles or stiff posing. We’ll capture genuine emotion, their sweet little smiles, how they laugh with their siblings, or the sparkle in their eyes when they think about Santa coming down the chimney.

What to Expect During Your Session

My Christmas Mini Sessions are designed to be quick, interactive, and easy! Sessions typically last around 15–20 minutes, just long enough to create a beautiful variety of images while keeping kids engaged and happy.

I guide you through fun prompts that bring out real smiles. No “say cheese” moments here, just laughter, snuggles, and sweet little interactions that show your family’s true connection.

Within two weeks of your session, you’ll receive a gallery of 30+ beautiful images to choose from. You can select your favorites for prints, albums, or your custom holiday cards, perfect for sending warm wishes to friends and family this season.

📸 What to Wear for your Christmas Mini Photoshoot NJ

One of the most common questions I get is: “What should we wear for our Christmas photos?”

Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!

Here are a few wardrobe ideas to help you plan your perfect look:

🎄 Holiday Glam

If you love a more elegant look, think sparkle and shine!

• Moms look amazing in jewel-tone dresses, satin tops, or flowy skirts.
• Dads can go classic with dark jeans or dress pants, a button-down, or a cozy sweater.
• Add pops of festive color like deep green, cranberry red, or gold.

❄️ Cozy Casual

For a laid-back but coordinated look, try:

• Textured sweaters, flannels, or henleys in soft neutrals or winter hues.
• Jeans or corduroy pants.
• Neutral tones like cream, gray, and tan always photograph beautifully.
• Mix in a touch of plaid or knit scarves for a festive feel!

🎁 Pajama Party

Matching or coordinated family pajamas are always a hit for these sessions!

• Classic red-and-white stripes or buffalo plaid are timeless.
• Choose PJs that complement one another rather than match perfectly for a more natural look.
• Add fuzzy socks, slippers, or even a cozy blanket for a snuggle moment.

To make it even easier, I’ve created a curated Amazon shopping list with my favorite wardrobe picks for all three styles — from dressy holiday looks to cozy PJs. You’ll receive the link after booking so you can shop stress-free and arrive session-ready!
