2024 Reindeer Session Information & Guide

Did you Hear those Sleighbells!

Reindeer Sessions are our most favorite session that we do every single year! This year is our 7th annual Reindeer Session and we simply cant wait! We have put together this little guide to hopefully answer some of the questions you may have, show you what our sessions will look like this year, and help you get ready for the most epic start to the Christmas season!


This year we will hold our sessions Indoor in our studio, with an all new set up and style! Below you will see images of the backdrops ,a guide to the colors we think will look best for your session, and some helpful information to make your session go perfectly!

This will be our Main Backdrop for your Reindeer Session!

Our All new Snowy Mountain Reindeer Barn will be the main backdrop for your session this year. It will feature the child size sleigh perfect for the younger kiddos. Adults will be posed standing and small children will be posed inside the child sleigh this year. We will also have our adorable and client favorite Reindeer Farm Cocoa Stand where you will get to give Miss Rose a "Sip" of her "Reindeer Cocoa" . These shots are usually everyone's absolute favorite! Our Stand will be in front of our Snowy Mountain Tree Farm shown below, and be styled with frosted trees and neutral colors!

What to Wear

The set up we have chosen for our 2023 reindeer will look perfect with almost all color pallets and all holiday inspired patterns.  


These are just a few of the colors we think will go well with our set up! We think that plaids, buffalo plaids, tartan and similar holidays prints will also look amazing!


When styling your family for your session Feel free to consider all colors and patterns, we only advise clients to steer away from ultra bright neon colors.


We are loving the look of Traditional Holiday colors, & Patterns, as well as Neutrals, Deep Blues, All Shades of Green and Whites!. Our Girls will be doing theirs in the outfits seen in the photo of the Winter Gate!

Reindeer FAQ


Most everyone coming to our session are "Old Timers" that have been to every single year, BUT for the "New Timers" Here are a few frequently asked questions about the reindeer and the session experience.


Can you Feed The Reindeer - YES, you and your family will get a chance to fee Miss Rose one of her favorite treats (animal crackers) Dont be alarmed if your little takes a bite it happens every single year but since its just a regular animal cookie we promise they wont grow antlers and fly away (LOL)


Can you Pet the Reindeer - SO not exactly a petting kind a animal. Reindeers preferred not to be petted and actually retreat if you put a open palm out to pet them. Often when giving the animal cracker you can sorta pet her face while you feed her but almost all the touching is done with feeding the cookie.


Can you ride the Reindeer - As magical as I think that would be no. You can ride some Reindeers but Miss Rose is not allowed to be rode.


Can I take pictures without the Reindeer - YES, we will have one portion of the session that will be with the reindeer and then the remaining portion will be shots without.


Can the whole Family be in the Photos - YES , this session is the perfect family photo session, or if you prefer we can do it with just the kiddos but the whole family is welcome! Please note this session is designed for one household families. For extended families you will need to book more than one spot (example, Mom, Dad, Kiddos and Grandparents would be considered one family session, Just all the grandkids would be considered one family session, Two or more sets of Parents, two or more sets of Siblings and Two or More Grandparents would be an extended family and will need to book multiple time slots. If you need help deciding how many spots you need please contact us.


Can you bring your family pet - Unfortunately as cute as I think it would be the fur babies have to sit this one out. We do not want to risk any harm to Rose or your Fur Baby and since we are not 100% confident they will be the best of furry friends we do not allow any animals during these sessions.


Can the Reindeer Bite - NOPE, Fun fact about reindeer is they do not have any front teeth, and have only flat teeth for chewing far far in the back of their mouths, so when you feed rose you do not have to fear being bit in anyway.


Can We wear Horns or Horn Headbands- We actually ask that you not wear the adorable little horns because Rose can sometimes see these horns and think oh yay a reindeer to play with and her horns vs toy horns would not be fun AT ALL , you can bring your adorable horn accessories and we are happy to get shots of those without the reindeer.


Can I Bring my own Treats or Food for the Reindeer - NO, the reindeer handler does not permit any outside treats for Rose.


Can I do a quick outfit change - No, because each session is a limited time slot we can not allow for any outfit changes. If you want to do a quick slip a different tshirt over top a a kiddo we can easily accommodate that but for these sessions we do not allow outfit changes.


Can My Baby Under 6 months be in the photos - YES, Absolutely however any child that can not safely sit unsupported will have to be held by an age appropriate child or adult for every single pose we will not be able to offer any newborn style or baby posing for this session
