Since I started my photography business five years ago, my Christmas tree mini sessions in Essex have become one of my favourite festive traditions. Every year, families wrap up in cosy knits, little ones race between the trees, and together we capture the most magical Christmas photos. Honestly, these sessions have always been one of the highlights of my year as a family photographer in Essex.

But last year was different. My school and nursery photography had grown so much (something I’m so grateful for!) that by the time autumn rolled around, I just didn’t have the time or energy to run the minis. And honestly? I really missed them. There was a Christmas-shaped hole in my year, and it made me realise just how special these shoots are — not only for me, but for the families who come back year after year.

So this year… I’m back! And I couldn’t be happier. These Christmas photoshoots in Essex honestly fill my cup in the best way. The laughter, the chaos, the giggles, the snuggles — it’s pure festive joy. They’re not just about creating a picture-perfect Christmas card (though you’ll definitely get that too!) — they’re about capturing the real magic of the season while your children are still little enough to believe in all of it.

Christmas Tree Minis are simply the best, and I cannot wait to welcome families back into the trees this year. The magical Christmas tree farm in Colchester is the perfect location.
