Hey y’all! It’s that time of the year when Jax Mini Sessions Studio transforms into a festive wonderland, and I can’t keep the cheer to myself! We’ve had the pleasure of hosting some of Jacksonville’s finest photographers, who brought their sprinkles of holiday magic right here in our studio. So grab a sweet tea or a hot cocoa, and let me peek into our Christmas wonderland!

Christmas Pictures by Ashley Wilson

First up, we have the ever-so-creative Ashley Wilson Photography. Ashley turned our cozy couch corner by the window into a Christmas morning every child (and, honestly, every adult) dreams of. With twinkling lights and fluffy snow-like cotton, it was like Santa’s living room had come to town. Her pictures? Well, they’re as heartwarming as hot chocolate!

Christmas Pictures by Charlie Zola

Then, there’s Charlie Zola Photography, who must have a direct line to the North Pole because her photos are nothing short of magical. Using our classic studio Christmas set, Charlie captured the moments that make you feel all the feels – from joyful giggles to the serene smiles of a holiday well-spent.

Christmas Pictures by Russ Bratcher

Our very own Russ Bratcher Photography—yep, that’s me—didn’t shy away from adding Santa to the mix with his family photography and mini-sessions. I focused on capturing the candid joy and sparkle in the eyes of families as they revel in the holiday spirit. It’s about crafting timeless memories that’ll be cherished faster than you can say, “Merry Christmas, y’all!”

Christmas Pictures by Kim Kelly

Kim Kelly‘s approach to Christmas photography creates an inviting atmosphere that is as warm as a Florida winter. Her images have a cozy, intimate feel, perfectly capturing those serene moments of families nestled together, sharing stories, or simply enjoying the holiday glow. Her photography makes you want to grab a hot drink and gather with your loved ones under a soft blanket, basking in the gentle light of the Christmas tree. It’s her ability to encapsulate these tender interactions that makes her work truly stand out.

Christmas Pictures by Julian Jones

Julian Jones takes a more vibrant and playful route with his holiday sessions. He captured Christmas’s pure joy and excitement through a local artist’s Christmas album cover art. Julian’s work brings out Christmas’s whimsical, merry side, emphasizing the spirited, festive fun that makes the holiday unique for the young and young at heart.

Julian used our Nanlite Consistent Light to spotlight his model (pictured below). You can visit our studio rental page for a list of equipment and other tools to bring your session to life.

Christmas Pictures by Olive Hue Photography

Liz deRemer’s style is notably refined and elegant, resonating with those who appreciate a more understated beauty in their holiday photos. Her work with Olive Hue Photography can be described as a soft, warm embrace—each image carefully crafted to evoke a sense of calm and peacefulness. Liz uses subtle tones and a gentle palette to create sophisticated and soothing images that are as timeless as they are beautiful. Her photographs are like visual whispers, gently reminding us of the quiet joys of the season.

The studio was also utilized for a commercial fashion session that was a success with her client, the Gifted Boutique.
