The 2025 Oakville Christmas Minis Recap – Pure Holiday Magic

Our 2025 Christmas Minis were filled with laughter, sparkle, and stunning photos. Take a peek behind the scenes and see how we turn 25 minutes into holiday magic.

2 Days. Dozens of Families. Endless Holiday Joy.

Our studio was filled with sparkle, snuggles, and sweet memories during the 2025 Christmas Mini Sessions—and we’re still swooning over the galleries.

Held over two days in November at our cozy Oakville studio, these sessions delivered:

  • Timeless holiday portraits
  • Candid family moments
  • And the magic that only comes once a year

We welcomed returning clients and new faces from Oakville, Burlington, Milton, and the greater GTA. And the results? Pure joy.

BTS: What It Really Looks Like Inside a Mini Session

We believe the experience is just as important as the images.

So, here’s how it went down:

  • A twinkle-lit set styled to feel festive but not over-the-top
  • Gentle guidance (no forced posing here)
  • Quick transitions and fun prompts for kids
  • A relaxed, pet-friendly studio space

Final Photos: Clean, Cozy, and Card-Worthy

We delivered 15 edited images per session, and the responses were amazing. From matching pajamas to glam holiday looks, every gallery was full of character and charm.

What Clients Are Saying

We had such a wonderful experience during our Christmas mini session! Despite it being later in the day, Sabrina brought amazing energy and made us feel completely comfortable from the moment we arrived. She was incredibly patient and engaging with our 2-year-old, and it made the whole session such a fun and relaxed environment. She even gave us a Polaroid ornament, giving us something to look forward to until we get our photos. We would happily work with Sabrina again. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our experience having our family photos taken by Sabrina and Daniel! From start to finish, they were incredibly professional and well-prepared. They made the entire process comfortable and enjoyable. They were amazingly patient with us, super organized, and really took the time to make sure every detail was just right. I’m so excited to see the final photos. Highly, highly recommended!

I booked the Christmas mini session for the 1st time with Durante, and we were very impressed! Sabrina and her assistant were both very pleasant to work with. She was great with getting my 3.5yr old engaged & excited to smile for the camera (very hard to do these days), and she got our dog involved as well! Bonus gesture was the Polaroid photo for the Christmas tree as a takeaway. It is such a cute idea & I love it! Very excited to see how the photos turned out!

Final Thought

Whether you were in front of our camera this season or you’re dreaming of your first session, there’s nothing like the joy of capturing your family just as they are.

We can’t wait to create more magic with you in 2026.

Until then—print those photos, send those cards, and soak in the season.
