A holiday card filled with the people you love. A framed portrait that feels beautiful in your home long after the season ends. This year, I’m offering a special day of holiday family portraits at Portraits by Chaya Studio, with soft textures, thoughtful styling, and room for your family’s personality to shine.
On November 8th, 2026, I’ll welcome just 5 families for these limited edition sessions. Unlike my usual mini sessions, which focus on one child or subject, this offering includes your immediate family—parents, siblings, and individual portraits of your children.
Explore the sessions and inquire about availability.
A soft, elegant approach to holiday portraits
The studio’s bright lifestyle space creates a beautiful foundation: an ivory chaise, sheer curtains, white flooring, and cozy layers. From there, we’ll coordinate the styling around the look you love.
Choose cream and champagne for understated warmth, burgundy and champagne for a classic holiday palette, or dusty blue and silver for Chanukah portraits or a gentle winter feel.
The styling is intentionally simple, keeping the focus on your family. These are portraits designed to feel at home on your holiday card and on your walls.
For another look, coordinating monochrome portraits offer a simple studio backdrop in deep red, green, or navy.
Thoughtful details for your little ones
A wooden sleigh, white rocking horse, ivory rope swing, and cream vintage ride-on car bring variety to the session. We’ll choose props to suit your child’s age and posing needs, alongside portraits of your family together.
Styled prop previews
Selected studio wardrobe options are available for babies, along with a small collection of girls’ dresses in select sizes. Soft knits, velvet, delicate ruffles, and classic smocked details complement the sets. We’ll confirm availability and fit before your appointment and discuss how to coordinate the rest of the family.
You don’t need everyone dressed identically. A shared palette and a thoughtful mix of textures can bring the portraits together beautifully.
Your session and image selection
Your $490 holiday family session includes:
- Up to 45 minutes of guided studio photography for your immediate family.
- An airy lifestyle setup and coordinating monochrome portraits.
- Selected studio wardrobe options, subject to fit.
- An immediate image viewing and selection appointment.
- Two final, professionally retouched digital images.
Please allow additional time after photography to view your portraits and choose your favorites. Additional images, heirloom albums, and bespoke framed wall art are available to purchase separately.
Throughout the session, I’ll guide your family’s posing and help create space for the little interactions that make the portraits yours—the way your baby settles into your arms, your children’s laughter, and the closeness of being together.
