What a joyful weekend it was! My 2025 Holiday Mini Sessions in beautiful Allen, Texas were a huge success — and my heart is so full from all the laughter, love, and festive cheer that filled the park. From cozy sweaters and holiday colors to giggling (and a few crying) kiddos and sweet family moments, every session was a little reminder that the holidays are coming.
There’s just something so special about this time of year. I can’t tell you how much joy it brings me to capture these sweet, in-between moments — the giggles, the snuggles, the real smiles. Every family brought their own magic, and the park was just glowing with love and a little bit of Texas sunshine.
These sessions are one of my favorite traditions because they capture more than just a photo; they tell your family’s story as it is right now — joyful, real, and full of heart. And nothing makes me happier than returning families. It’s so fun to see the changes that have taken place in you and your kids over the last year…
Each Holiday Mini Session included:
✨ 20 minutes of relaxed, fun photography time
✨ 15 beautifully edited digital images in a private online gallery
✨ The option to purchase additional favorites
✨ All for $250 + tax — a wonderful value for timeless memories

I love how these quick sessions make it easy for families to get gorgeous, updated portraits without needing to schedule a long photo shoot. They’re perfect for your holiday cards, gifts for loved ones, or simply refreshing your family photos before the new year.
The old barn at Parker Rose Garden was the ideal backdrop — soft light, golden leaves, and a little holiday sparkle in the air. Each family brought their own personality and style, making every gallery unique and joyful in its own way.
To all the amazing families who joined me this year — thank you for trusting me to capture your memories! You brought the smiles, the energy, and the love that made this season shine bright.
If you missed out this time, don’t worry — I just added a few more Holiday Mini Session times, and like always, I do have a few Mini Sessions still open. If you want to be sure to be first to sign up next season, keep an eye out for next year’s Holiday Mini Sessions or any other special Minis that I offer, come follow me on Instagram. That is typically where I post these things, and there is always an easy link to sign up right from my stories! These “bonus” Mini Sessions always book quickly, so be on the lookout. I’m not sure what I’m going offer in the spring, but I’m sure I’ll come up with something… I can’t wait to create more beautiful memories together.
As always, you can find me over at Paula Mason Photography or you can email me or Julie at [email protected]. Here’s to family, laughter, and the joy of the season — captured forever in photos.
Until next time…
