Make Your Holidays Picture-Perfect with a Christmas Mini Session
If you’ve ever thought, “We should really get a holiday photo this year…” but never quite got around to it—this blog is for you.
At Durante Photography, our Christmas Mini Sessions are designed for busy families, festive couples, and holiday lovers who want beautiful, professional photos—without the time or stress of a full session.
Located in Oakville, Ontario, and serving families from Burlington, Milton, Hamilton, and beyond, these sessions are limited and fill up fast every year. Here’s everything you need to know to book your spot for 2025.

- Holiday cards

- Social media posts (hello, matching PJs moment!)
- Annual family keepsakes
Unlike a full photography session, a mini session is:
- Fast ⏱️ (just 25 minutes!)

Common Questions About Booking a Mini Session
Q: What should we wear?
We recommend classic neutrals, cozy textures, and layers. Think creams, burgundy, forest green, soft knits, and festive accessories like hats or scarves. After booking, we’ll send you outfit inspiration!
Q: How long will it take to get the photos?
You’ll receive your fully edited gallery within 14 business days—just in time for holiday card deadlines.
Q: Can we bring grandparents or extended family?
Mini sessions are best for immediate family (up to 5 people) so we can make the most of the short time slot. If you’re looking for a larger group session, let’s chat about a custom booking.
