2026 Holiday Mini Sessions – Get Notified

2026 Holiday Mini Sessions

Booking Is Open

Big laughs, little snuggles, stress-free holiday photos.

Mini sessions are built for real families, the wiggly toddlers, the too-cool teens, the fifteen minutes you actually have before someone melts down (kid or parent, no judgment). No forced smiles, no hour-long ordeal. Just candid joy, captured fast, and six favorite Sarasota spots are open for booking right now.

  • A handful of Sarasota’s best-loved holiday spots to choose from
  • Candid, real family moments, wiggly kids welcome
  • Plenty of time for one perfect shot, plus all the in-between magic
“She was a wiz with the kids, picked the most beautiful locations, and gave us magical pics. Can’t recommend Michaela highly enough!” April

Why Families Keep Coming Back

“We love the different themes she offers, especially during Christmas time. She is very personable and makes you feel very comfortable during the sessions, in addition to taking the most precious photos!” Debbie
