Holiday photo mini sessions are back, with photographer Katie Jett Walls! Kids only. Simple, candid photos that show your child’s true spirit!

We’ll have several families signed up for each hour. Photos only take a few minutes, you can come in anytime within the hour to get your photos taken, then spend some time with a mess-free activity in our studio.
