Kentucky Guide to Holiday Photo Mini-Sessions

‘Tis the season – for family photo mini-sessions!

The holidays are a popular time to update family pictures with some professional images. After all, the holidays are all about family. And it’s a magical time for children.

Whether you dress up in elegant formal holiday outfits or cozy up in some Christmas-themed PJs, there are a lot of cute opportunities for holiday photo sessions.

A typical professional photography session can cost hundreds of dollars, so many photographers offer mini-sessions for families looking for a more affordable option.

These sessions cost less than a regular session (usually because fewer photos are offered with the package) but still produce high-quality professional photos that you can keep and display forever as family memories.

Finding the right photographer and package for you can involve time-consuming research – so I’ve done it for you!

Here are all the photographers I could find offering holiday mini-sessions and Christmas mini-sessions in Kentucky for 2020.

This list will be updated as I discover more photographers, so be sure to check back for updates!
