Christmas photos that don't feel like a chore
You know the drill. The shopping centre Santa line that snakes past the food court. The two-minute turnaround. The photo where one kid's crying, one's blinking, and you're not even in it.
Our Christmas mini sessions are the opposite of that. A calm, beautifully styled set in our Brisbane studio, a session that runs at your child's pace, and photos you'll actually want on the wall.. and in the Christmas cards, and on Grandma's fridge.
This year, you can choose a session with a real professional Santa, or our classic Christmas set without him. Same studio, same limited dates, same Foxie magic.
Pick your kind of magic
With Santa
The Full Believer ExperienceA real, professional Santa.. not a bloke in a rented suit checking his watch. Your child gets genuine one-on-one time with him, and we capture every wide-eyed second of it.
- Private time with a professional Santa
- Styled Christmas set, designed for photos
- Kid-led pace.. no forced smiles, ever
- Limited Santa slots per day
The Classic
Christmas, Without SantaOur full Christmas set, minus the man in red. Perfect for family portraits, kids-only shots, babies' first Christmas, and the card photo that makes the relatives jealous.
- The same beautifully styled Christmas set
- Family, kids-only, or both
- Ideal for Christmas cards & grandparent gifts
- Gallery back well before Christmas
Here's how it feels
You walk into a warm, quiet studio in Gaythorne. No line. No strangers bumping elbows with your kids. Just your family, a set we've spent weeks designing, and a photographer who's spent 20+ years learning exactly how to get the best out of little people.
If you've booked Santa, he doesn't just appear at a photo booth. He makes an entrance.. and that moment when your child's face changes? That's the shot we're here for.
Twenty minutes later you're done, and a couple of weeks after that your gallery lands.. in plenty of time for cards, prints, and gifts for the grandparents. December sorted, without the stress.

Hi, I'm Kiki
I've spent over 20 years photographing families, mums, and tiny humans at every stage.. which means there is genuinely nothing a toddler can throw at me (sometimes literally) that I haven't seen before.
Christmas sessions are my favourite kind of chaos. The shy waves. The whispered wish lists. The kid who point-blank refuses to sit with Santa and then won't leave when it's time to go. I don't chase perfect.. I chase real, because real is what you'll still be looking at in twenty years.

When are the sessions?
Limited dates across October and November 2026, at our Gaythorne studio. That timing is deliberate.. your gallery lands well before Christmas, so cards, prints, and grandparent gifts are done while everyone else is still scrambling. Exact dates go to the Nice List first.
Is he a *real* Santa?
He's a professional Santa performer, and yes, the beard situation is impressive. He knows how to read a room full of small people.. when to be big and jolly, and when to go quiet and gentle for the shy ones. This is not the shopping centre experience.
What if my child is scared of Santa?
Completely normal, happens every single year, and honestly.. some of those photos become the family favourites. We never force it. Your child sets the pace, you can stay right beside them, and if Santa keeps his distance the whole session, we'll still make something beautiful.
Can we do it without Santa?
Yep! That's exactly what The Classic is for. Same styled Christmas set, same dates, no Santa. Perfect for family portraits, bub's first Christmas, or the card photo.
How long is the session, and when do we get our photos?
Sessions run for 20 minutes.. short, sweet, and easy on little ones. Your gallery is back within a couple of weeks, in plenty of time for Christmas cards and gifts.
