An Unforgettable Fine Art Christmas Experience
At Viviana Rodden Photography, we believe that holiday portraits should be as magical as the season itself. That’s why we’ve curated two stunning Christmas themes this year—our beloved Elf Sessions and the debut of our Gingerbread Sessions. Everything is taken care of for you. From adorable gowns and elf costumes (sizes 18 months - 10 years) to carefully selected props, I know how busy moms are. That's why all you need to do is show up with your kids, and I’ll handle the rest.
Your children will love this unique experience—playing dress-up, exploring the Christmas set, and smiling naturally for the camera. No rush, no stress—just pure holiday joy that shines through in every portrait.

Every session is filled with fun, excitement, and joy, making it an unforgettable experience for your family. Book your session now and let the magic unfold!
Why Choose Us?
Why Settle for Ordinary Photos When You Can Have Fine Art?
Let’s be honest—your Christmas card is all about your kids! Those typical family fall photos are perfect for your walls or albums, but nothing makes a statement like a fine art Christmas portrait of your children. I promise, these portraits are so beautiful you’ll want to display them for years, and I often hear from families who say they can't bring themselves to throw away the Christmas card!
This isn’t your average mini-session. Every detail is curated, every prop carefully selected, and every image fine-tuned with award-winning fine art editing. These portraits are true works of art, unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere.

-
While the session is designed for children, yes, an immediate family (up to 5 people) can be photographed. Just take into consideration a few things: you will need to bring your own outfits, and we will focus the session on your family and children.

-
With ample time for the session, we have more chances to ensure a few perfect portraits. We can try different props, play games, sing songs, or even offer some healthy snacks. And if one picture looks great but their expression is perfect in another, no worries—we can do a head swap!
-
Please plan your session around your child’s nap time to ensure they’re in the best mood for photos. Also, be aware that each session is designed for immediate family members. Extended families or multiple households need to book separate sessions or arrange in advance for additional fees.
To secure your spot, a deposit is required at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due on the day of your session.
-
A good nap is very important, so please plan the session either before or after your child’s nap time. Bring along their favorite toy to make them feel comfortable. In the questionnaire, let me know their favorite songs, snacks, or any special tricks that help them relax, and I’ll be prepared to use them during the session
-
Fine art editing enhances every detail in your portraits. This editing is time-consuming and requires a high level of expertise to look great. It’s what makes my work stand out and one of the reasons I’ve won multiple photography awards. Your images will look like stunning works of art, not your typical holiday photos.
-
Your images will be delivered in high resolution via an online gallery within a maximum of 12 working days after you’ve finalized your favorite selections. Christmas cards will be delivered one week after your digital images are ready.

25 Christmas cards are included in your package, but you can also opt for 5x7 prints if you don't need Christmas cards.
-
The day of your session, you can view the available Christmas card designs. I have a couple of designs for you to choose from. You can also purchase a design you love on Etsy and send it to me. I can include the wording of your choice.
