2026 Christmas minis
BECAUSE YOU WANT TO REMEMBER this holiday season!
Every year, you look at your little ones and wonder, where did the time go? Christmas photos give you the opportunity to pause and capture this beautiful season of your family’s story.
My 2026 Toronto Christmas Mini Sessions are designed to capture more than the perfect holiday portrait. I want you to remember their little smiles, growing personalities, sweet connections, and the unique bond you share as a family.
Although mini sessions are short and sweet, we make every minute count! I’ll guide your family throughout the session to create beautiful, natural images you’ll be proud to display, share, and treasure for years to come.
Year after year, these photographs become part of your family’s Christmas traditions—capturing the little details today that may mean everything tomorrow.
Choose from 7 session dates and 6 beautiful Christmas studios across Toronto and Durham Region, each offering a unique holiday setting for your family.
2026 Toronto Christmas Mini Sessions are now booking. Reserve your favourite date and studio before spots are gone!

The Process
1. Say Hello
Hello!
I would love to connect and help you plan the perfect Toronto Christmas Mini Session for your family.
These sessions are short and sweet—just 15–20 minutes—but they are thoughtfully designed to capture beautiful, joyful moments you can treasure throughout the holiday season and for years to come.
Once you’ve chosen your preferred session date and time, your spot will be officially reserved after your contract is signed and the retainer is paid.
Once that’s complete, we can move on to the fun part—planning your session and getting your family ready for a beautiful Christmas experience!
2. planning
You don’t need to worry about a thing! I’ll provide everything you need to feel confident and fully prepared for your Toronto Christmas Mini Session.
You’ll receive helpful guidance on what to wear, the best colours for your chosen set, and simple tips to help your family look and feel their best.
And of course, you’re never on your own! If you have any questions while planning your session, I’m always just a call or message away.
All you need to do is get excited for a little Christmas magic!
3. session day
Get ready to have some fun! We’ll laugh, play a few games, and enjoy the Christmas magic while I capture beautiful memories of your family.
And here’s a little secret—bribery works wonders! Feel free to pack a few favourite treats to keep little ones happy and motivated throughout the session.
Want to capture an extra-special reaction? Bring along a small wrapped gift for your child to open during the session. That genuine excitement can create the sweetest expressions and some truly magical photographs.
Think of it as a little taste of Christmas morning excitement—just a few weeks early!
4. after the session
After your session, the exciting part begins—seeing all the beautiful moments we captured together!
Your online proof gallery will be ready before the following weekend and delivered directly to you. From there, you can enjoy looking through your images and choosing your favourites.
If your package includes enhanced edits, please send your selections as soon as possible so I can begin adding those final touches.
Your fully enhanced images will be ready within 5 days of receiving your selections, beautifully finished and ready to download, share, print, and enjoy for years to come.
And just like that, your Christmas memories are ready to be treasured! ✨
Bring your Christmas memories to life with beautiful Christmas cards and keepsake ornaments, available to order directly through your online gallery.
Christmas Card packages start at $125 + tax for 25 professionally printed cards with envelopes. I recommend ordering early to ensure they’re ready in plenty of time for the holidays.
Christmas tree ornaments can also be ordered directly from your gallery.
Turnaround time: approximately 5 business days.
Beautiful memories made to be shared—and treasured year after year. ✨

Words
"We had our newborn session with Simina and let me tell you that she is absolutely Amazing! So warm and kind and most importantly : absolutely great with babies. She has the magic touch, as our baby let her swaddle him and change his outfit, without complaining, although he hates swaddling and changing his clothes in general. The photos turned out great. She worked with us and our ideas and we now have some great memories to print :) Thank you for everything, magic lady! We'll see you next time for our next family session.|
"We had an outdoor maternity shoot and indoor baby shoot with Simina. She is an absolutely pleasure to work with, she is very accommodating and delivers high quality work. I was amazed how calm & composed she was especially during baby shoot. Just like a true baby whisperer, she rocked my baby, gently swaddled him and captured such a peaceful photos, thank you! She is extremely professional and experienced, which helped us enjoy both sessions and cherish those moments forever, I highly recommend her to anyone."
"If you are looking to perfectly capture your family milestone moments, look no further! Simina was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Booking with her was seamless as was her flexibility when our baby came a few days early. As for the session Simina is a baby whisperer! She was able to calm our little one and get him in the zone so we could capture all the different poses we were hoping for and more. Finally the edits - WOW! With so many images to choose from it was hard to narrow down because we loved them all. Once we did the final products we got were amazing. We will cherish them for a lifetime. Thank you so much Simina; we look forward to the next session! :)"
"My family and I have had amazing experiences with Simina. She has incredible communication skills before and after the shoot as well as very accommodating and flexible. Her photos are beautiful. We had so much fun at our maternity shoot and she even posted a sneak peak a few hours later! (which is always so fun!). Do not hesitate to book with Simina, photos are so important to growing families!"
