Capturing Gratitude & Joy: Thankful and Festive Mini Photo Shoots in Grapevine

This past November, I had the joy of hosting my annual Thankful and Festive mini photo shoots in the heart of Downtown Grapevine. Over the course of a crisp and beautiful weekend, 15 wonderful families joined me on Main Street to capture memories filled with love, laughter, and that magical holiday spirit.

As a family photographer, these minis are something I look forward to every year—not only because they offer families a chance to update their family photos at a special rate, but also because they’re an opportunity to give back. This year, 15% of all sales from these sessions were donated to the North Texas Food Bank, thanks to the generosity of each family who participated. Together, we were able to make a meaningful impact for families in need during the holiday season.

Each session was uniquely tailored—some families embraced the holiday spirit with festive touches, while others opted for more classic, timeless family portraits. With twinkling lights, cozy outfits, and the charming streets of Grapevine as our backdrop, every moment felt full of joy and connection.

These mini photo shoots are designed to be quick, fun, and stress-free—perfect for busy families looking to capture beautiful images without the time commitment of a full session. Whether you’re preparing holiday cards or just want updated photos of your loved ones, my minis offer a heartfelt way to celebrate the season.

I’ll be bringing back the Thankful and Festive Minis in 2025—with a new location and date coming soon! Be sure to stay tuned so you can grab a spot when booking opens. These sessions go fast, and I can’t wait to see both familiar faces and new ones next year.

Until then, thank you to everyone who made this year’s minis so meaningful. Your smiles, your stories, and your support for a good cause made this season truly special.
