Elegant Holiday Portraits with Christmas Lights
Kristen Taylor

A Quick Christmas Session That Sparked Holiday Magic
When Ava reached out about scheduling a portrait session downtown, I jumped at the opportunity—but nothing could have prepared me for the vision she’d create. She walked in wearing a stunning burgundy tulle dress, sparkly boots, and a show-stopping fur jacket that stopped everyone in their tracks. I knew instantly we’d capture something special.
Our session lasted 15 minutes at a single location in MineralWells, yet we came away with an abundance of beautiful shots for her mom to choose from for her print order. The energy was incredible, and the results spoke for themselves. In fact, her mom loved the experience so much that she booked a session later that week with her youngest daughter—because why should the Christmas magic be limited to one?
What I love most about winter photography is how it pushes me creatively. When you have a client who’s willing to embrace new ideas and bring their authentic energy to the session, the possibilities feel endless. A small window of time, one meaningful location, and genuine personality? That’s really all a photographer needs to create something memorable.
These images are calling my name from the editing queue, and I genuinely can’t wait to see them fully polished. Schedule a mini session today, if you want a photoshoot that’s short and sweet, but still gives you genuine, authentic, true-to-you images!
“Absolutely beautiful. You captured her perfectly!”











Thank you so much for letting me capture these for you, Ava and Anna! I say we aim for the same time next year.
