Christmas Mini Sessions in Melbourne North with The Fitzroys Photography
The festive season is drawing near, and there’s something truly special about pressing pause to capture it. A Christmas mini session in Melbourne’s North is the perfect way to hold onto the wonder - whether it’s your baby’s very first Christmas or your fifth year celebrating this beautiful tradition. These short and heartfelt sessions freeze time in the most beautiful way, creating a growing collection of memories you’ll look back on year after year — a visual story of how your family has grown, loved, and laughed through the seasons.
Here’s why a yearly Christmas mini session may just become your favourite November ritual.
Why Families Love Christmas Mini Sessions
What begins as a simple photo session slowly becomes something more. Christmas mini sessions are a gentle way to soak in the holiday spirit in beautiful, heartfelt portraits that hold your family in the glow of the season.
They Capture the Magic of Your Children Growing - Christmas changes as your children grow. One year, it’s your baby’s first Christmas. The next, they’re sitting tall, older, wiser, still full of wonder. You’ll never have this exact Christmas again. These aren’t just pictures - they’re chapters in your family’s story. A visual thread woven gently through the years. These are the golden in-between moments that slip by unless they’re held still in a frame. By booking a session each year, you’re creating a time capsule — a visual record of your child’s growth and the love that surrounds them.
"We look back at our Christmas mini photos every December. It’s like watching our children grow up in festive chapters."
– A returning Fitzroys clientIt Becomes a Beautiful Family Ritual - Between rush of the gift shopping, and holiday plans, the lead-up to Christmas can feel overwhelming.
But a Christmas mini photo session? becomes a treasured ritual - a chance to slow down, be present, and step into a soft, nostalgic space with their children. Just 20 minutes of quiet magic that will live on your walls and in your heart.The Sets Are Always Fresh, Thoughtful, and Magical - Each year at The Fitzroys Photography Christmas scene is lovingly reimagined in original, handcrafted set, filled with real props and warm, nostalgic textures — think twinkling lights, antique details, and the kind of atmosphere that feels like Christmas morning. A place where your child can play, imagine, and your family shine.
P.S. This year’s scenography reveal happens in late August — and trust us, it’s dreamy!
The Photos Make Beautiful Gifts + Cards - Your Christmas mini session doesn’t end with the shoot. It gives you tangible gifts - framed prints for grandparents, images for holiday cards, keepsakes for your children to treasure someday. Christmas mini photos become heartfelt gifts that carry meaning far beyond the season. They’re for the mantel, for albums, for future generations to hold in their hands.
You’re in the Frame Too - As mothers, we’re often the memory keeper, but rarely the ones in the photographs. Christmas minis offer a gentle invitation for parents to step in, hold your babies and be seen.

So... Why Make Christmas Minis a Tradition?
You might come for the photos, but you’ll stay for the feeling..
Your sessions become a thread through time, one that your family will hold dearly, long after little feet grow and holiday chaos fades.
The knowledge that time doesn’t have to slip away, not entirely. Because each year, your children change - but this space stays the same: soft, familiar, filled with love.
Because when your children are grown, these are the photos they’ll hold.
And one day, these portraits will say: “This is how loved you were.” “This is how we celebrated you.” “This is how it felt to be wrapped in Christmas.”
That’s what I offer at The Fitzroys Photography every Christmas. And I’d love to share it with you.

What to Expect in a Christmas Mini Session
Whether it’s your first time booking or you’ve been with us for years, here’s what you can look forward to during your Christmas mini session at The Fitzroys Photography:
Short & Sweet: Each session goes only for 20 minutes which makes it perfect for wriggly little ones (and busy parents!). Short enough to fit your day, sweet enough to stay in your heart :)
Festive Atmosphere: All you need to do is to bring yourselves and all the joy - in the time we will spent together I’ll love seeing you laugh and play. So breathe. Laugh. Snuggle in close. Let your children be themselves.
Planning: Book your session early to secure your preferred date and time. Christmas is a busy time, and spots will always up fast!
Dress the Part: Choose seasonal tones, and textured layers. Natural fabrics or glam look of velvet or satin will look festive and add on an extra sparkle to your photographs. Coordinated festive outfits brings a beautiful sense of harmony to your photos too and festive pyjamas may be considered.
Turnaround: I know how busy December gets - your memories will be in your hands before Christmas, polished with love and ready to share with family, friends, or proudly display at home.
