Fall is one of our favorite times of year for portraits, and our Fall Mini Sessions are the perfect way to capture your family without committing to a longer custom session.

Fall VW Bus Mini Sessions
November 1, 2026 | Clermont, FL
Our Fall VW Bus Minis are perfect for families who want something playful, cozy, and a little different from traditional fall portraits.
Styled with traditional fall decorations like vibrant orange pumpkins and knitted blankets, our vintage VW Bus creates the perfect setting for capturing genuine family moments.
And kids especially LOVE these sessions! Little ones can climb in and out of the bus, sit in the driver’s seat, and even pretend to drive, giving them something fun to do while we capture natural smiles and personalities along the way. There’s also an open field where kids can run and play while we capture adorable candid moments.
Custom Halloween Photography Sessions
If your family loves Halloween, why not make your fall portraits a little more spooky and fun?
We can plan a custom Halloween session at our studio in Avalon Park, where we can create unique, themed sets specifically for your family. Whether you’re envisioning something spooky and dramatic, whimsical and playful, or completely over-the-top, we can design a Halloween-inspired experience that’s unlike your typical fall portrait session.
We can create outdoor Halloween portraits, too!
Custom sessions give us the flexibility to create multiple setups, incorporate fun themes, and capture a wide variety of images, making them a great choice for families who want an experience that feels completely their own.
Whether you’re dreaming of a creative Halloween concept, coordinating costumes, or a themed portrait experience that brings your family’s ideas to life, we’d love to help you create something special.
2026 Christmas Mini Sessions in Orlando
Christmas has a way of making ordinary moments feel a little more magical.

At Kossina Creative Photography, our Christmas mini sessions in Central Florida are designed to capture those memories in a variety of unique holiday settings.
Whether your family loves cozy Christmas pajamas, elegant holiday portraits, nostalgic vintage details, stunning outdoor scenery, or the magic of Santa, we have a Christmas photo experience to fit your family.

Christmas PJ Mini Sessions
November 7, 2026 | Kossina Creative Photography Studio – Avalon Park
There’s something special about the cozy side of the holiday season. The matching pajamas, the excitement, the cuddles, and all the little moments that make Christmas feel so magical.
Our Christmas PJ Minis are a more relaxed take on traditional holiday portraits, with cozy Christmas sets designed to give your photos that warm holiday-at-home feeling. Think matching Christmas pajamas, a comfy bed set, a festive living room, and more.
You’ll still have plenty of opportunities for those sweet, posed portraits that make the perfect holiday card photos, but the relaxed nature of these sessions also gives us room to have a little more fun.
Kids can jump on the bed, snuggle with their siblings, play together, or simply be themselves while we capture those candid moments in between.
These sessions are especially great for families with young children who want a mix of beautiful, polished holiday portraits and playful images that capture their personalities. You’ll leave with photos that work just as well for your Christmas cards as they do for prints, gifts, and simply remembering this stage of your family for years to come.
Christmas VW Bus Mini Sessions
November 8, 2026 | Clermont, FL
Looking for Christmas photos that are festive, nostalgic, and a little different from the traditional holiday portrait?
Our festive VW Bus creates a vintage-inspired setting with eye-catching holiday touches like festive garland, mini evergreen trees, gifts, and vibrant poinsettia flowers.
The VW Bus also gives us opportunities to capture more than just posed family portraits. Kids can interact with the bus, climb into the driver’s seat and pretend to drive, or gather around it with the rest of the family.
The location features an open field where kids can run, play, and be themselves, giving us plenty of opportunities to capture those adorable candid moments.
Together, we can create a collection of images that feels like a little Christmas story, with a mix of beautiful posed portraits and playful moments that capture your family’s personality.
These sessions are especially fun for families who love vintage details, unique photography settings, or want their Orlando Christmas photos to stand out from the typical holiday card.
Elegant Christmas Mini Sessions
November 15 & December 12, 2026 | Kossina Creative Photography Studio – Avalon Park
For families who want those formal Christmas pictures, our Elegant Christmas Minis offer a more refined and modern take on holiday photography.
Think Vanity Fair meets Christmas: long dresses, sparkles, suits, and modern backdrops that feel more like a magazine editorial than a traditional holiday set. These sessions are all about creating polished family portraits that feel festive without being overly themed.
This is the perfect opportunity to dress everyone up and create those classic portraits you’ll want to use for your Christmas cards, gift to grandparents, or display in your home.
And because the sets have a more timeless, editorial feel, these aren’t necessarily photos you’ll need to pack away once Christmas is over. They’re designed to create beautiful family portraits that could easily be displayed in your home year-round. If you love the idea of a formal family portrait that feels elevated and even a little glamorous, this is the session for you.
Lake Louisa Christmas Mini Sessions
November 28, 2026 | Lake Louisa State Park, Clermont
Christmas in Florida looks a little different from the classic snowy holiday scenes you see in movies, and that’s part of what makes it special!
Our Christmas Lake Louisa Minis combine the magic of the holiday season with the natural beauty of the Florida outdoors. Located at Lake Louisa State Park in Clermont, these sessions offer families a scenic alternative to a traditional indoor Christmas photo session.
The natural surroundings create a relaxed and organic backdrop for your family portraits.
This option is especially well suited for families who love outdoor photography and a more organic style of family portraiture. Rather than feeling like you’re stepping into a traditional Christmas set, the experience combines your family’s holiday memories with the beauty of Central Florida.
And because these minis take place just after Thanksgiving, they’re also a great option if you’ll have family visiting for the holiday. Bring the grandparents, siblings, or cousins along and turn your time together into gorgeous family portraits you’ll cherish long after the holidays are over.
The Santa Photo Experience in Orlando
White Santa: November 14 & December 6, 2026
Black Santa: December 6, 2026
For children, there may be no part of Christmas quite as exciting as meeting Santa.
Forget the chaos of the mall. This year, step into a calm, cozy, and magical space where your child can meet Santa in a way that feels truly special.
Our Santa Experience is designed to capture more than just a quick photo sitting beside Santa. We want to preserve the anticipation, excitement, curiosity, and wonder that make meeting Santa such a memorable part of childhood.
Each family enjoys 20 minutes of one-on-one time with Santa, with plenty of opportunities to talk, laugh, share Christmas wishes, and create real holiday memories. Parents are welcome to join in, too!
We offer sessions with both White Santa and Black Santa because every child deserves to see themselves in the magic of Christmas.
Why Our Santa Sessions Are Different
A calm, distraction-free experience. No long lines. No overstimulating crowds. Just your family, Santa, and a relaxed space where kids can actually enjoy the moment. Our sessions are especially great for little ones who are shy or have sensory sensitivities.
A full Santa experience. This isn’t your typical mall photo. Your child will have time to chat with Santa, share their wishes, engage in interactive activities, and go through a custom Naughty or Nice list made just for your family.
Parents are welcome. These sessions aren’t just for kids! Join in for a few photos and capture sweet family moments together.
A personalized keepsake. Each family receives a custom Naughty or Nice list featuring their child’s name, making the experience even more memorable.
Beautifully retouched portraits. Your selected images are individually edited and ready to be added to a holiday card or shared with loved ones.
Our Santa Photo Sessions take place at our portrait studio in downtown Avalon Park in East Orlando. If you’re looking for Santa photos in Orlando or a more meaningful alternative to a quick mall Santa visit, this experience is designed to make the visit part of the memory.
Looking for Something A More Personalized Photo Experience? Explore Our Custom Family Sessions
A custom photo session is exactly that: completely personalized around your family.
Rather than choosing from pre-designed sets, we’ll work with you to create a session that reflects your style, personality, and vision.
Because every detail is carefully planned, custom sessions are also ideal for families who know they’ll be displaying their portraits prominently in their home. Whether you’re envisioning a large framed canvas above your fireplace, artwork for a gallery wall, or an heirloom album you’ll treasure for generations, we can intentionally style your session to complement your home’s décor and create timeless artwork that feels right at home in your space.
A custom session gives you more flexibility with:

- Color palettes that complement your home’s décor
- Custom themes and creative concepts
- Multiple setups or locations

It’s also a wonderful option for families who love displaying portraits throughout their home and want each session to coordinate beautifully with artwork they’ve invested in over the years.
