HolidayMiniSessions
Wheaton, IL ·11.07.26
This year’s holiday minis are inspired by the messy, magical Holiday memories we actually want to remember. The flour-covered hands, sneaking a cookie when no one’s looking, little fingers covered in sprinkles, and your people gathered around the table.
Set against rich holiday tones, warm textures and a little old-fashioned Christmas nostalgia, these 10-minute sessions are designed to feel more like a memory unfolding than a traditional holiday photo shoot.
Come ready to make cookies, make a little mess, and let us capture the magic in between.
For families with newborns who don't feel like participating in cookie decorating, we have options for you too!
- 10-Min Holiday Cookie-Decorating Experience
- Holiday Cookie Decorating Kit Included
- Private Online Proofing Gallery
- 5 Hand-Edited Digital Images of Your Choice
- High-Resolution Digital Downloads
- One-Week Gallery Delivery
Make a little mess, sneak a little frosting,
and create a Christmas memory worth keeping. Choose five favorite images from your gallery to enjoy long after the cookies are gone.
For newborn families, their included cookie
kit can simply be packaged to take home at
no additional charge.

Karin is amazing! My family and I were so pleased with the results of our family photos! I've been a Wedding Professional for many years and I can tell you that the care and detail that Karin puts into her work sets her apart. I'd wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for photography in the Chicagoland area.
Hannah Cooper - Chicago, IL
I cannot recommend EV Photography enough! The mini session was the perfect setting to capture candid family moments that we'll cherish forever. We're excited to work with Karin again!
My husband and I loved having Karin photograph our son. We really appreciated how quickly she was able to set up a time to do the photos. She was very patient with our fussy six month old who did not want to have his pictures taken. Her ideas for props and outfits were very helpful. We were so happy to received the beautifully edited photos so quickly! We would definitely recommend Karin to anyone looking for a talented photographer and look forward to working with her in the future.

"Karin is an absolute dream! From our initial correspondence to our album design session, she put our needs before everything else. We’ve received nothing but the biggest compliments for our photos and that’s all thanks to EVP."
Faith Horner - Oak Lawn, IL
Really enjoyed working with Karin and would highly recommend her to anyone.

“WOW, EVP did not disappoint! Karin captured the most amazing photos of all the most important moments.

Grab an extra for another cozy afternoon at home. or check a few gifts off your list. They make the sweetest teacher, hostess, neighbor, or family gifts.
And for the first time, you’ll also have the option to turn your holiday photos into something you can actually hold. Heirloom albums will be available this year, including mini 6×6 albums that make especially meaningful gifts for grandparents. Let's be honest, Grandma probably has enough mugs. Give her the grandkids this year.

Digital files are convenient—but they live on hard drives, phones, and in forgotten folders. An heirloom album lives in your hands, your home, and your family’s story.
It’s the album your kids will pull off the shelf years from now to see how little they once were. The way they smiled. The way you held them. The traditions you shared and the ordinary magic of being together in that season of life.
It’s more than a collection of beautiful photographs. It’s a tangible piece of your family’s history—something you can hold, turn the pages of, and one day pass down.
When you choose EV Photography, you’re not just walking away with beautiful photos.
You’re creating your family’s next heirloom.
