When Should You Book Your Christmas Family Photos?

Every year, one of the most common questions we receive is: "When should we book our Christmas family photos?"

The answer is simple—as early as possible.

At Studio Bokeh, our Christmas setups are typically ready in early October, giving families plenty of time to enjoy their session, receive their photos, and order holiday cards and gifts well before the Christmas rush. Because Christmas is our busiest season, the most popular appointments don't stay available for long.

Get the Best Choice of Dates

Weekend sessions are always the first to fill up, followed by after-school appointments. Booking early gives you the best selection of dates before our calendar becomes limited.

If your schedule is flexible, you'll also have more options to choose the time that works best for your family.

The Most Beautiful Natural Light

One of the things our clients love most about Studio Bokeh is our beautiful natural light.

The most flattering light is typically between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., creating soft, bright, timeless portraits. Not surprisingly, these appointments are our most requested and are often booked well in advance.

Enjoy a Stress-Free Holiday Season

Having your Christmas session in October or early November means one less thing to think about later.

You'll have plenty of time to:

• order Christmas cards

• create personalized gifts

• print your favourite family photos

• share your images with family and friends before the holidays

  
  

Instead of rushing in December, you can simply enjoy the holiday season knowing your photos are already taken.

Our Christmas Sessions Sell Out Every Year

Christmas sessions are one of our favourite traditions at Studio Bokeh, and every year we're grateful to welcome so many returning and new families from Aurora, Newmarket, Richmond Hill, and across York Region.

Because we offer a limited number of sessions each season, many of our dates sell out well before December. Booking early gives you the best chance of securing your preferred date and time.
