Victorian Christmas

Residency: October 29th — December 31st
Privacy: In View
Brown velvet, a candlelit tree, and old-world elegance wrapped around the studio's 1923 Ludwig baby grand. A century-old instrument, a brand new love story.

Citrus & Cedar

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.

The Areas That Are Always Here

Cyclorama Wall

Privacy: In View
22 feet wide, with a 2-foot curve and over 30 feet of white floor in front. High-reflectance paint, zero glare, minimal distortion. Available January through October; November & December this space is used for Christmas.
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

2026 Christmas Holiday Environments

Available October 29th — December 31st, 2026

Seven sets. One main floor. Zero sneak peeks.

And here's why.

Christmas is the season we build hardest for. A full year of planning went into this one. Last year's magic, then the same amount again stacked on top. Double the scale. Double the detail. Hundreds of small, layered pieces that only come alive once they're standing in front of you. We couldn't get AI anywhere near this vision, so we gave up trying. The only way to see them is to be immersed in them.

Honestly? We prefer it that way.

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.

2026 Christmas Holiday Environments

Available October 29th—December 31st, 2026

We'll be open with limited availability on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day — for those can't-miss family moments together.

We’ve gone bigger and more immersive than ever before. This isn’t just decor; it’s storytelling. This year, the studio will feature seven stunning sets:

The Modern Kitchen — flour on the counters, the frosted window, and the organic warmth of "home for the holidays."
Outdoors In — a lush, evergreen forest feel brought inside our studio walls for that perfect winter magic without the cold.
The Farmhouse Vibe — neutral tones, cozy textures, and a timeless, rustic elegance that lets your clients' outfits pop
The Red Velvet Overload — high-fashion, bold, and unapologetically editorial. This is the set for your "wow" moments.
The Holiday Bed — soft linens, twinkling lights, and the pure joy of Christmas morning.
The Cozy Corner — the fireplace, the arch, and the feel of a room you don’t want to leave
The Victorian Christmas — brown velvet, a candlelit tree, and old-world elegance wrapped around our 1923 baby grand piano.

Seven multi-dimensional environments, each one pulling components together into a single space instead of one flat look. More variety. More options. More of your time spent creating, and less of it spent rearranging. And because every set lives in the main area, you'll still have room for a non-holiday image while you're here.

One more thing, and we mean it. This studio is designed around you: your comfort, your schedule, the value of your time. That's why we're open until 10 PM. Holiday calendars get crowded and family comes to town, so a weeknight might suit you far better than a Saturday morning ever could.

✨ New this season: our receptionist area has landed! A team member at the front means every guest is welcomed, every session stays uninterrupted, and every client feels expected from the first hello. Built for Christmas, here year-round. 🤍

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.
