Mini Sessions

LIMITED EDITION HOLIDAY MINIS

 

NYC's most-loved Christmas mini sessions are back — book early, they always sell out.

November 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th.

Step into our Christmas Conservatory, with soaring arched windows, lush greenery, twinkling lights, and all the elegant details of a European holiday postcard. Dress your little ones in their fanciest holiday best and let them explore a set built for portraits that feel like heirlooms, not just photos.

📸 What's included:

  • 15-minute session

  • 5 hand-edited high-resolution digital images, ready within 1 week of choosing your favorites

  • Kids only (family portrait add-on available)

  • Private online gallery to select your images

✨ Immediate family only. $35 fee per additional extended family member or pet.
✨ Set will be exactly as shown in the promo images above.
✨ If your baby cannot sit unassisted, please choose the family portrait add-on.

📍 Location: Luciana Golcman Photography Studio, 440 E 20th Street, NYC

Spots are limited, so book early to secure your date and time. Can't wait to see your family in the conservatory this year!

🍪 BONUS THEME: Magical Characters & Gingerbread Cookies


Available: Select days by request only.

Step into a playful holiday world — meet Santa, visit with a reindeer, share a moment with a snowman, or make pretend gingerbread cookies together. Perfect for kids who love imagination and festive fun.

Themed minis faq
 

  • Once you select your images from your private gallery, we deliver your final edited photos within 1 week. We know the holidays move fast - you won't be waiting until January for your cards!

  • Think classic and festive — velvet, sequins, plaid, or anything special-occasion. Avoid large logos or cartoon characters, since they can distract from the set. Not sure about a piece? Send us a photo before your session and we're happy to weigh in.

  • Absolutely! We work with kids of all personalities every year, from bubbly to bashful. Sessions are quick and playful, and we always find a way to get genuine smiles (or a few sweetly serious ones, which are just as special).

  • Of course! Extended family and/or fur babies can join for a $35 add-on per person/pet.

  • Life happens! Reach out as soon as you can and we'll do our best to find you another available date, based on availability.

  • Yes, just email us and we'll get you set up with the family portrait add-on before your session date.
