Christmas Minis 2026
The whole family or just the kids?
Do you have a nice Christmas photo where everyone is in it?
Are you in it?
November 7th,
get the family warmed up for the 2026 Christmas Pageant
You're the one who takes all the photos, so you're never in them. You don't have an hour to spare for wrangling kids into a full session. And let's be honest, the second someone asks the kids to sit still and smile, they stop listening.
This is the one time of year the whole family is in the same place, dressed up, in the Christmas spirit, even if it's just for twenty minutes. I know how fast this stuff goes. My own kids used to beg to sit on Santa's knee, and now they roll their eyes at the thought of it. If yours are still little enough to be excited about Christmas, this is worth catching.
And if they're not the sit-still-and-smile type, that's exactly who I do this for. I've spent years working with kids who don't want to cooperate, and I promise you, they'll listen to me faster than they'll ever listen to you.

Book Your Christmas Mini Session
Once they are gone, they are gone.
Twenty minutes is all it takes. No wardrobe changes, no rehearsed poses, no pressure to sit still and perform for the camera. I let the kids lead, catch the real moments in between, and have you home again before anyone's patience runs out.
About Nancy
I'm Nancy, the person behind the camera at Photo by Nancy. With over 12 years of experience photographing newborns, children and families across Adelaide, I've learnt that the best photos happen when people feel relaxed, not posed.
Before photography, I spent years working in early childhood education, and I still work as a Support Worker today. That background is exactly why I'm good with the kids who don't want to cooperate, I know how to get them there gently, without the tears or the stand-off.
I'm also a mum of three, so I understand how quickly these Christmas seasons pass.
Only 8 spots available this Christmas.

What if my kids don't want to sit still or smile?
That's exactly who this is for. I work with kids who don't cooperate all the time, and I've got the tricks to get a genuine smile out of them. If you think this may be an issue, try and pick a time that works best for them. Don't skip nap time, find a time that works around that time.
What do we get afterwards?
5 edited digital images, ready to share or print. You will also be added to the VIP list for the following year early bird mailing list.
