🎄 Christmas Minis… Just Fashionably Late 🎄

Christmas came and went… and here I am at the end of January finally sharing these photos —

and honestly, I kind of love that.

I intentionally waited to post them because so many families use their photos for Christmas cards and gifts, and I didn’t want to be the person who accidentally ruined someone’s holiday surprise by posting them early. Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like already seeing your family photo on Facebook, right? 😂

These Christmas mini sessions were such a special experience for me. They were full of little giggles, bundled-up families, and that magical holiday energy that only exists when kids are excited about Christmas and parents are trying to keep outfits clean for five straight minutes.

A huge thank you to Black Sheep Market for collaborating with me and letting me use their space for these sessions. Partnering with local businesses is one of my favorite parts of what I do, and this one was extra special. 🐑🤍

But beyond the photos themselves, this project had a bigger purpose. A portion of every session went toward supporting the Montana Chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).

Thanks to everyone who participated, we raised $165 for NAMI Montana.

That means these sessions weren’t just about cute holiday photos — they were about supporting mental health resources right here in our community. That’s something I’m incredibly proud of and something I hope to continue building into future projects.

Photography, for me, isn’t just about pictures. It’s about connection, community, and using creativity to give back when I can. Every family who showed up helped make this more than just a photo shoot — you helped make it meaningful.

So even though it’s now winter-without-Christmas and we’re all probably sick of snow and casseroles…

I wanted to take a moment to look back and say thank you.

Thank you for trusting me with your memories.
Thank you for supporting mental health in Montana.
And thank you for supporting local collaboration with Black Sheep Market.

Christmas might be over —
but the impact of these sessions is still here.
