2026 Christmas Holiday Environments

Available October 29th — December 31st, 2026

Seven sets. One main floor.

Step inside, and stay a while. These sets aren't backdrops you stand in front of. They're spaces made to be lived in. A real fireplace, a kitchen counter, Christmas trees you can walk around and sit beneath. Every set is built with actual room to move, so the littlest guests can wander, explore, and settle in while the camera does its thing. No shivering in a field. No "hold it, hold it, almost done" while tiny fingers freeze. No losing the magic of Christmas to a fabric backdrop. No hunting for a restroom, a changing spot, or a place to warm up between shots.

Everything's already here: the styling, the warmth, the details down to the tiniest ornament. Some spaces keep it simple and homey, the kind that feel like Christmas at your own place, and a few bring the statement pieces that make the frames unforgettable. You bring the people, and the season is already waiting inside.

Mike's Farm trip planned this year? 🎄 Start it here — we're just 8 minutes down the road. Get holiday-ready, grab those Christmas photos, then head over for the Festival of Lights Hayride or Christmas Shows and their famous country cooking, served family style. Two stops. One unforgettable memory. Click here to see their upcoming events.

Still open while Christmas is up: the front seamless paper station, The Wildwood Arch with part of the Verdant Edit, and The Gilded Hour. The cyclorama wall returns on January 1st.

The Cozy Corner

Residency: October 29th — December 31st
Privacy: In View
A wood-topped fireplace with a candlelit mantel, knit stockings hung with care, and velvet ornaments catching the glow. The quiet corner of the season, made for the portraits that whisper instead of shout. And at its heart, a space dedicated to little ones: a toddler chair beside a wooden ladder wrapped in evergreen garland, so the smallest guests have a spot that's theirs.
Designed with 35mm lenses in mind.
A Corner Just for the Little Ones

Residency: October 29th — December 31st

The Areas That Are Always Here

The Hickory Loft

& Seamless Paper Station
Privacy: In View
Crisp white walls, bold modern trim, gorgeous window light, and over 15 feet of Hickory Melody hardwood. Editorial edge with a high-end residential feel. Available year-round, including through the holidays.
The Wildwood Arch

Privacy: Screened
A private prep and boudoir space.
An intimate, fully private changing room and boudoir space. Gown rack, nailhead bench, full-length mirror, woven ottoman.
The Gilded Hour

Privacy: Private
Arriving Late October 2026
Our dedicated boudoir set.
A candlelit Parisian salon, where ornate gilt frames climb the walls and the light never quite arrives. Built around our lavender velvet fainting chaise: dark, intimate, and the studio's most atmospheric room.
Front of the Studio

Privacy: In View
Our own stretch of parking-lot-to-pavement, and the urban edge of the property. Concrete, clean lines, and a little grit around the edges: the one spot where your session can feel like a city block instead of a studio. Shoot it early or late and the light does the rest.
Outside Field

Privacy: In View
A cornfield out back, and a reminder that we're eight minutes from anywhere and miles from everything. Tall stalks in the summer, open sky, and that soft pastel haze when the sun gets low over the field. Bring the kids, bring the dog, bring a dress that was never going to survive indoors.
Outside Side Wall

Privacy: In View
A vertical white brick wall with a downtown feel: our most editorial outdoor surface. Texture you can't build indoors, and narrow enough that it frames beautifully with a longer lens. It's the backdrop for the frames that are supposed to look like they happened somewhere else.
The Break Room

The little luxury we didn’t have to do — but absolutely did
The Powder Room

Yes, even the bathroom is pretty. ✨

How Privacy Works Here

Every set is labeled so you know exactly what you're booking before you arrive. This describes visibility within the studio, not who shares it with you. The studio is exclusively yours for the length of your rental, every time. Screened and private spaces are designed for boudoir and getting-ready.

👁️ In View, on the main floor, visible from the front entry
🚪 Screened: set apart with screens or drapes, blocking sightlines from the entry
🔒 Private: a closed set, no walkthrough, no visibility

How a Rental Works

You book the studio. We have it ready.

Reserve your date, pick your time on the booking calendar

Tell us the vibe: styled sets, custom build, or a mix of both; send a mood board if it's complicated

Arrive and shoot: first-timers, come 15 minutes early and grab a drink

Your inventory gets pulled, up to two backdrops get hung, and our team handles setup and cleanup, including cake smashes.

The Wildwood Arch

The space that works twice as hard as it looks.

The Wildwood Arch was styled to be photographed and lived in at the same time: a wooden arch, a full-length mirror for the in-between moments, a soft woven tan rug underfoot, and a dresser dressed in garden florals against a deep green wall. Warm light hangs low, and there's room to move, to get ready, to breathe.

Bring your clients here to prepare, then turn around and shoot here too. It's a getting-ready space and a set in one, which means the in-between moments never go unwitnessed: the gown going up, the last sips of coffee, the deep breath before it all begins.

And through the Christmas season, the Wildwood Arch stays right here, untouched by the holiday sets. It's one of the spaces we set aside exactly for sessions that don't need the holidays, so your non-seasonal work keeps a home all year long.
