1950s Christmas Cookie Mini Sessions, Charlotte NC

A Retro-Inspired Holiday Baking Session in a 1950s Kitchen Set

Location: The Little House, 5315 Rocky River Rd E Charlotte NC 28215
Dates: 10/18, 10/19

Step back in time for a holiday session that’s equal parts sweet, nostalgic, and joy-filled.

Christmas Cookie Minis take place in a vibrant, 1950s-style kitchen set filled with retro details—from the checkered floors and mint appliances to red holiday accents and vintage cookie tins. The scene is styled to feel like a page out of a mid-century cookbook, but with one major upgrade: you and your family are the stars.

During this session, we’ll capture the joy of baking together: flour on little fingers, sprinkles scattered across the counter, cookie cutters mid-action, and all the laughter in between. These sessions are lightly guided but intentionally candid, with a focus on warmth, connection, and timeless detail.

Photographed in a soft, film-inspired style with warm tones and subtle grain, each image will feel like a memory you pulled from an old photo box in the attic.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How many digital photos are included in the session? - Mini sessions are designed to be a more affordable option for those who may not need a full photography package or are just looking for a few special images, like for holiday cards or other prints. To keep the cost lower, we include 2 carefully selected photos in the package. However, you'll have the opportunity to view all the images from your session, and if you'd like to purchase additional photos, that option is definitely available!
Will the setup look exactly like the photos above?
Because our holiday events are carefully planned many months in advance—typically during the summer—we’re unable to photograph the final setups before the events take place. This is due to a combination of factors, including weather conditions, limited venue availability, and seasonal prop sourcing timelines.
However, we design each session with a clear creative vision and share inspiration that closely reflects the style, mood, and aesthetic we are aiming for. While small variations may occur based on final prop availability and natural elements, we work hard to ensure the final result aligns as closely as possible with the concept we've presented. You can trust that the experience will be thoughtfully styled and beautifully executed.
