The Magic Of Christmas Mini Sessions

The Flash Lady Photography offers private Santa Experience and Family Christmas sessions that take place in my beautifully decorated Newington studio, where your family gets undivided attention in an intimate setting. Without the crowds and distractions of a public event, kids have the space to warm up naturally and enjoy the experience at their own pace.

Custom Christmas Mini Sessions

Booking is NOW OPEN for the 2026 Season! Our 2026 theme is “Christmas Nostalgia” – a warm, inviting, vintage styled scene straight from your Grandmother’s living room. With a 1950s & 1960s design base, and multiple generations featured throughout, you’ll be taken back to a simpler time to enjoy family and togetherness with lots of special details.

Sessions take place at my Newington, CT studio on select dates throughout the holiday season. We offer The Santa Experience, Family Christmas Photos, and VIP Christmas Sessions for both types. Our Custom set is designed exclusively for these sessions. Christmas cards and photo gifts are available to order.

These sessions have become a holiday tradition for many Connecticut families. WFSB has even featured The Flash Lady Photography for our Christmas photography.

What My Clients Are Saying

Christmas sessions book up quickly every year, and have become a holiday tradition for many Connecticut families. Here’s what some of my clients have said about their experience.

Brenna Ramsdell

What a timeless, magical, beautiful day we had with Kristin for our Santa Experience! The set was so immersive, the photos are stunning, and Kristin knows exactly how to get genuine smiles out of my kids. This was the most memorable experience that secured its spot in our family’s yearly traditions. These aren’t just Santa photos, it’s a magical, unforgettable experience for the whole family. If you’re looking for a picture perfect storybook experience, The Flash Lady Photography is where it’s at!

Stephanie Stephan

This was my first time taking Christmas photos with The Flash Lady and the experience was fantastic! Normally my husband and I don’t send photo cards out for Christmas. We barely take any selfies throughout the year, so when it comes time to order Christmas cards it’s stressful to find a photo that works, and ultimately it takes the fun out of sending cards at all. But with this photo session, not only did we end up with gorgeous themed photos for our Christmas cards, we also got to experience a fun and unique date night! It was a blast getting dressed up and entering the whimsical setting Kristin has created. The set has so many small details. Every time I look at our photos I notice something new. Her attention to detail and excellent theming come together to create what feels not like a simple set, but a fully immersive world.
