The questions we get most.

When can I book The Christmas Sets?
The sets are up October 9 through December 13. Booking runs on a rolling window, so the dates open gradually rather than all at once: everyone can book 60 days ahead, and members can book 120, which is why members reach the holiday dates first.
How many sets are there?
Four, each one its own build. Studio A: The bow tree, The holiday bed. Studio B: Ribbons and greenery, Green bows on white. Book a room and every set standing in it is yours for the whole session. Book both and you have all of them.
What size group works best on these sets?
Smaller ones. Each set is built as a single scene, so it photographs best with a couple, a family, or a small group in frame. If you're bringing a crowd, book both studios and use the second room to spread out.
Can I run minis back to back?
That's what most photographers do with a styled set. It's already built and lit, so you can turn sessions as fast as your clients arrive, with no resetting between them. Half days (4 hours) are 20% off and full days (8 hours) are 40% off, which is where a day of minis really pays.
Can I bring my own props or move things around?
Bring what you like and layer it in. Furniture can move if you need a different angle, as long as it goes back where it started before you leave. No glitter, smoke bombs, smoking, sparklers, or open flames. Not sure about something? Just ask before you bring it in.
Can I use your photos of the sets to promote my sessions?
Yes, and we'd love it if you did. Every shot on this page is in the gallery, free to download, so you can market your minis with the real set months before the season starts. Download the promo photos

Members are already booking October.

Everyone can book up to 60 days out. Members book up to 120, so the holiday calendar is open to them months early: first pick of the October and November dates, plus 20% off every rental. At $19 a month, one session covers it.
