Why Families Pick IJ Photo for Holiday Minis
Holiday magic, without the holiday hustle.
Most studios lock you into a single scene—or only offer Santa. (Kids are often terrified of Santa!) At IJ Photo you choose from curated sets that range from modern to nostalgic (think minimalist wreath wall or a decorate-the-tree moment). That means images that feel like your family, not a one-size-fits-all backdrop.
Indoors, comfortable, and reliable
Outdoor minis can be beautiful—but also rainy, cold, and unpredictable. In-studio you get perfect light, no weather stress, and no shivering kids. Hair stays put, outfits look polished, and you get the session you planned for—every time.
Done in one visit (no lingering decisions)
Long turnarounds and “we’ll email a gallery later” create decision fatigue. With us, you’ll see your images immediately after your session and choose your favorites on the spot. You control your spend—digital files are $25 each, with no minimum purchase—and you leave feeling finished.
A session that actually fits your life
Your mini is a 30-minute, guided studio session with room for one outfit change. It’s paced for real families (including littles), so you can slow down and actually enjoy being together—then get back to your day.
True-to-life color, 25+ years of experience
You want photos that age well. Our true color style + decades of posing and kid-wrangling experience mean natural, flattering images without trendy filters or assembly-line vibes.
Thoughtful value (no pressure, no surprises)
- Mini Session (Session Only) — book your time and decide later what you want
- Or choose a Mini + 8 files or Mini + 16 files at ordering
- Add more for $25 per file—no minimums
- Early-bird bonus:Book by oct 30 and get 3 digital files free added instantly
Life is messy. Photos don’t have to be.
