Pick your time

$50 to book. The balance is due at your session. November dates go first, so if cards are the plan, book an October Saturday.

On the day

Arrival and parking

The studio is at 27 - 8050 204 St in Langley. You park in the complex, across from the garage door. Arrive five minutes early. Sessions run back to back on mini days, so a late start costs you shooting time.

What to wear

Reds, creams, deep greens and holiday plaid all sit well on the festive sets. Coordinate rather than match, and bring the kids changed and ready.

How it runs

One set, one lighting setup, which is what keeps a mini short and the price where it is. We start with the full group, then split into pairs and the kids on their own.

Terms in short

$50 deposit at booking, balance at the session. The deposit is non-refundable within 48 hours. Reschedule free to another open slot with at least 48 hours notice.

Closer to downtown? Christmas minis at the Vancouver studio run on four dates on Terminal Avenue. Want something quieter? See the other mini session days.

Christmas mini questions, answered

Where are the Christmas minis photographed?

In the Langley studio at 8050 204 Street in Willoughby, on a seasonal set that changes each year. Indoors means warm, dry kids and no weather risk in December.

Will I have the photos in time for Christmas cards?

Yes. Christmas mini galleries are delivered within days of the session so cards and prints can be ordered comfortably before the holidays. Delivery timing is confirmed in your booking email.

What should we wear for a Christmas mini?

Coordinate, do not match. Two or three soft colours across the family photograph better than identical sweaters, and cream, forest green, burgundy and denim all sit well against the set. Bring a change for the kids in case of spills.

We had a mini session with Volkan, and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. He gives clear, thoughtful direction while still making the whole process feel natural and relaxed. He truly cared about delivering great results, even in a short session.

We did a Chinese New Year themed photo shoot with Volkan and it was a fantastic experience! The setup was comfortable and on theme. He also did a great job with our 2 year old, keeping his attention and helping him with poses.
