Milk & Cookie mini


Every year, there’s one mini session that truly holds my heart and my Milk & Cookie Christmas Minis are that session for me. These are the moments that feel like pure Christmas magic, and this year was my biggest and most special one yet.


I officially kicked off this year’s Milk & Cookie Minis back in November with my promo photos. I used my own kids along with my nieces and nephews, and we hosted those sessions at my mom’s house. It was loud, messy, full of laughter and absolutely perfect. Those images set the tone for what was to come.


The official sessions took place over two full days on December 6th and 7th, and the turnout was incredible my largest mini session turnout so far this year. Families came ready to celebrate, and the kids dove right into the experience.


Each child received a huge, delicious chocolate chip cookie provided by K3 Cakery, along with milk to wash it down (because what’s a cookie without milk?). For the parents, I made sure there were snacks, treats, and coffee because parents deserve to enjoy the moment too. And once the kids finished their session, they were rewarded with candy and Christmas coloring books, which was always a hit.


One of the biggest highlights this year was the Santa Nice List book, filled with over 80,000 names. Watching the kids’ faces light up as they searched for their names was priceless and truly made the experience feel magical.


These sessions are about so much more than photos. They’re about memories kids laughing with full mouths of cookies, sticky fingers, shy smiles, and genuine joy. Capturing those authentic moments is why this session is my favorite every single year.


All Milk & Cookie Christmas Minis are held indoors in Starke, Florida, making them cozy, warm, and weather-proof perfect for little ones and families alike.


I’m incredibly thankful to K3 Cakery for always coming through with the most amazing cookies, and I can’t wait to work with her again in the future. This session continues to grow year after year, and I already have big ideas for how to make it even better next Christmas.


Thank you to every family who trusted me with these memories. I truly look forward to this session every single year and I can’t wait to do it all again.
