Christmas at LRP Lillian Rice Photography festive logo with red bow, pine branches, holly, and gold stars.

 

Cozy Christmas mini sessions in Port charlotte Fl featuring beautifully styled holiday sets for families, couples, maternity and children.


Imagine your child hearing Santa call them by name.

Watching him find them in the Nice List.

Opening a letter sent just for them from the North Pole.

Taking home a special Christmas book from Santa himself.

Or spending the afternoon baking cookies, sipping hot cocoa, and cuddling together in cozy Christmas pajamas.

That's what Christmas at Lillian Rice Photography is all about.

FAQ

Do I get to choose my Christmas backdrop?

Yes! Depending on the package you choose, you'll have access to two beautifully styled Christmas sets. My set include Christmas Morning, and Mrs. Claus's Kitchen, or Winter Forest and Santa's Workshop, allowing you to choose the look that best fits your family's style. For bookings in Oct, Nov and Dec, the Olive and Eden sets will be included as well.

 

What should we wear for our Christmas photos?

Neutral colors, cozy textures, and coordinating (rather than matching) outfits photograph beautifully with the Christmas sets. Cream, beige, forest green, burgundy, soft plaid, and knit sweaters are always great choices. For the cozy collection think cute pajamas and fluffy socks - the cozier, the better! For more details, read my blog post HERE.

 

When should I book my Christmas mini session?

 

The earlier, the better! Christmas mini sessions typically sell out well before the holiday season. Booking in September or October gives you the best selection of dates and ensures your gallery is delivered in time for Christmas cards, gifts, and holiday announcements.

 

Are Santa sessions available?

Yes! A special Santa Experience will be offered on Nov 14th, 2026 only. These sessions include time with Santa in his workshop, plus the opportunity for family portraits on one additional Christmas set and the Olive and Eden sets. Santa appointments are extremely limited and are expected to book quickly.
