Holiday Portrait Sessions are in full swing at Ivory Tree Portrait’s Studios! There are still spots available and we’re booking through December 10th!

This year, our backgrounds showcase either a holiday or a winter look – so no matter what you celebrate we have something to match your family's style and vibe.

Families often use their images from these sessions to create holiday gifts and cards. Holiday Sessions can last anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes, and you'll get to see roughly 50 images. We have time to capture everyone together, sibling images, and individuals of each kid.

Spots are limited this time of year, so don’t wait to book! Visit our website https://ivorytreeportraits.com/holiday for all the deets and a booking link!
