2025 Christmas Minis in Lake St Louis

My 2025 Christmas Minis kicked off today in Lake St Louis, and the entire setup felt magical. I felt so relieved to host these minis indoors this year. The studio gave us full control and removed any stress about winter weather. The moodier design matched my holiday vision perfectly and created a warm and cozy experience.

The setup featured a black bed that added instant drama. Snow dusted Christmas trees framed the space and added soft texture. Cranberry and popcorn garland brought the sweetest nostalgic touch. Gold and red accents tied everything together and created a rich holiday look. Every detail worked together and helped each family shine.

Kaitlyn actually inspired this year’s theme. Nine years ago, she booked my Christmas minis, and I used a bed setup for that session too. Today, we recreated the magic with her family of five. The full-circle moment hit my heart in the best way. We laughed through memories while capturing brand-new ones. The kids loved the setup and jumped right into the Christmas spirit.

This recreation reminded me why I love minis so much. These sessions freeze time in the sweetest ways. Watching families grow and return year after year feels like the biggest honor. Today’s images show that growth beautifully, and I cannot wait to share the full gallery.
