A Natural Light Christmas Session Celebrating Ivy Becoming a Big Sister
A Natural Light Christmas Session Celebrating Ivy Becoming a Big Sister
Some sessions feel like home—and photographing the Overmiller family is always one of them. Andrew and Lauren have trusted me to capture their milestones for years, documenting so many beautiful seasons of their life: from early couple sessions to parenthood, and now the sweetest chapter of all… watching little Ivy get ready to become a big sister.
A Studio Filled With Christmas Magic
This year’s session took place in a natural light studio dressed perfectly for the holidays—minimal Christmas trees, dried orange garlands, warm textures, and a clean, editorial atmosphere. It had that dreamy blend of Vogue-inspired styling and cozy Christmas nostalgia, making it the perfect setting to capture this family’s gentle, loving energy.
The light streamed softly through the windows, bouncing off the warm tones of the decor. The result? A gallery filled with timeless, elevated holiday portraits with a high-end magazine feel—exactly the kind of aesthetic that makes seasonal photos feel modern rather than overly themed.
Why Natural Light Studios Are Perfect for Holiday Family Photos
If you’re dreaming of editorial Christmas photos, modern holiday portraits, or a natural light studio family session, this is exactly why I love shooting indoors during the winter months. Studios provide:
✔ Consistent, flattering light
✔ A controlled environment for little ones
✔ Minimalist, stylish holiday décor
✔ A clean, timeless backdrop for emotional storytelling
The Overmillers’ session is a beautiful example of how a studio can elevate the entire feel of a holiday shoot
A Family I’m Truly Honored to Photograph
Working with Andrew and Lauren over the years has been one of the greatest gifts of my career as a family photographer. They show up with authenticity, softness, and a deep love for capturing their story. Watching their family grow—and watching Ivy grow—has made each session more meaningful than the last.
This milestone was especially sweet. It wasn’t just a Christmas session—it was the final chapter of their little family as a trio. And the studio’s natural light and editorial tones created the perfect space to freeze this season in a way that feels both elevated and heartfelt.
Looking Ahead
As I packed up at the end of their session, I couldn’t help but reflect on how lucky I am to document these chapters—year after year. From early love to parenthood to this new adventure of becoming a family of four… it’s an honor to be part of their story.
And I can’t wait to meet the newest little Overmiller soon.
