The holiday season is one of the most magical times of the year, and I’m so excited to be Celebrating 10 Years of Christmas Portraits with Santa! Over the past decade, thousands of families have trusted me to capture their holiday memories, and this year’s lineup is my favorite yet.
Alongside returning favorites like the Santa Experience and Tree Farm Sessions, I’m thrilled to introduce three brand-new holiday session types designed to create even more unforgettable memories. Whether you’re dreaming of a whimsical Candy Lane kids adventure, a memorable Baby’s First Christmas, or a glamorous Glitter Ball portrait session, there’s something special for every family this season.
From little ones meeting Santa for the first time to annual family traditions you’ll treasure for years to come, each session is thoughtfully designed to create timeless, joy-filled images that become part of your family’s holiday story.
While many dates have already filled, there are still a few spots available! If you’ve been thinking about booking your holiday portraits, now is the perfect time to reserve your session before the remaining dates are gone.

Yes, however, I have other session options available if you’d like more time at the Tree farm. I may also have additional dates available if you don’t see what you’re looking for, please email us – info@normafayakphotography.com
Children & Immediate Family members may participate in our family session. If you have 8 or more immediate family members participating (parents and children combined) I recommend booking TWO time slots to ensure enough time. Or Consider booking a family session separately.
Yes, dogs are allowed but you are responsible for cleaning up after them and they MUST stay on a leash.
If the weather is uncooperative for our Oct. 2,3,4& 5th 2026 Tree farm sessions- there are NO BACKUP rain dates. We will move into the studio for a “indoor tree farm” setup. You would keep the same time slot and same day.
All Seasonal/Holiday sessions will uploaded to view in an online gallery within 2 weeks after our session to select your favorites. Additional images will be available to purchase $690 for ALL & includes 8×8 album, $400 for 5 additional digitals or $90 for 1 digital file. ALL images will be completely edited and you will select your favorite digital files from an online gallery.
Please let me know as soon as possible! I understand sometimes things are out of our control, I will do my best to work with you to reschedule. Unfortunately, due to the nature of these sessions there may not be any availability with Santa or at the Tree Farm to reschedule. If you are unable to attend due to illness or scheduling conflicts I will try my best to fill your time slot. There are NO grace periods, sessions will be back-to-back with very limited time in-between for breaks and pushing your time back would mean taking time from another family. If you arrive 5 minutes late, then your session is 5 minutes less. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to be sure to find parking.
DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE SALE THERE ARE NO REFUND AND SESSIONS ARE NONTRANSFERABLE. APPOINTMENTS CANCELLED WITH LESS THAN 72 HOUR NOTICE WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY $100 RE-BOOKING FEE TO RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO BOOK OTHER SERVICES WITH ME. WHEN YOU FORGET TO CANCEL YOUR APPOINTMENT(S) WITHOUT GIVING ENOUGH NOTICE, I NOT ONLY MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO FILL YOUR APPOINTMENT TIME, BUT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHER GUESTS ON THE WAITING LIST TO RECEIVE SERVICES. I KNOW IT’S EASY TO FORGET ABOUT APPOINTMENTS BOOKED IN ADVANCE. MY SCHEDULING SYSTEM WILL EMAIL YOU AN APPOINTMENT ITINERARY AT BOOKING TIME AS WELL AS A MESSAGE REMINDER 7 DAYS AND 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE. PLEASE UNDERSTAND IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REMEMBER YOUR APPOINTMENT TIMES TO AVOID ANY MISSED APPOINTMENTS AND RE-BOOKING FEES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATION!
There is a Client Christmas “What to Wear” guide with a color palette for each session type. I was linked in the email sent out immediately after signing the client agreement. Please let us know if you need that link again../
Please AVOID NEON, bright busy patterns or graphic shirts with words. A pair of simple brown or black dress shoes works for any session. If you need help finding outfits I would love to help! I have a never ending list of places to look for outfits that work well with my brand and style of shooting. Choosing a color palette for your family is EVERYTHING and paying attention to details. Refer to the color palettes I’ve included in each session description and reach out for any help! (color pallets will be in the Facebook VIP group.)
l would love to see cozy sweaters, henley’s, dark jeans, mens/boys dress shoes, dresses, knee high socks on the babies, cute winter hats or scarfs to accessorize, rompers, fur vests, overalls, suspenders etc… If you’re shooting outside —-> layers, layers, layers!! Please plan for warm or cold weather –we are in the mountains so it can be warm the first few sessions and the last sessions get chilly.
