2025 Christmas Minis in Lake St Louis

My 2025 Christmas Minis Lake St Louis started strong today! I felt so relieved to host everything indoors this year. The studio setup kept things warm, controlled, and stress free. We avoided the cold and captured beautiful memories without battling the weather.

This year’s design leaned moody and cozy. A black bed created a bold focal point. Snow dusted Christmas trees added texture and soft holiday charm. Cranberry and popcorn garland brought in the sweetest nostalgic touch. Gold and red details tied everything together and created a rich Christmas atmosphere. Every detail worked together and helped each session feel warm and inviting.

Wes and Alyssa Oden stepped into the studio next with their two adorable kiddos. They own “Wes Oden Trucking” and support both mine and my husband’s businesses in every way. We love them like family, and their loyalty means so much to us. Their crew always brings the best smiles. Today was no different, and the kids gave us pure joy from the start.

We moved fast and captured so many sweet moments. The setup fit their style perfectly and highlighted their warm family bond. Their gallery will shine with genuine smiles, soft colors, and cozy Christmas vibes. I felt so grateful to photograph them again and create new memories with people who believe in us so deeply.
