Thanksgiving gives us an opportunity to slow down, enjoy delicious food with our loved ones and take a moment to practice gratitude. For some of us that means gathering together in the kitchen, on the couch watching football, attending a parade or festive event, or sitting around the table playing games with friends and family.

We've put together the ultimate 2025 Thanksgiving Guide to help you plan, prepare and celebrate this occasion to the fullest. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Book Here: https://ivorytreeportraits.com/holiday

It’s true, Ivory Tree's HOLIDAY PORTRAIT SESSIONS are already available in their Newtown, Bucks Co studio! Cozy, comfy cottage chic is totally this season’s vibe. Think cozy den, sitting in your favorite leather chair, surrounded by your favorite books, color drenched in deep creams. Or maybe you’re thinking a stunning plaid with a hint of blue is more your vibe. But you all know they don't stop at only two backgrounds; they always have their signature wreath. This year think large, like 4 feet, and of course they have it decked in a stunning bow, which couldn't be more on trend!

As always, you get multiple backgrounds, so no need to choose! At Ivory Tree Portraits, they embrace a kid-led philosophy in their studios. Ivory Tree knows children thrive in nurturing, child-initiated play-based environments and that in turn fosters self-confidence, trust, creativity, autonomy, and acceptance of individual differences. Kid-led just makes sense, so they take their lead. The team lets them set the pace, they let them express themselves and they let them have fun. It means you can relax, and the team can get the images you want. They promise, they are only done with the session when they know they have the images!
