Mini Christmas Sessions · Varennes (37600)
Christmas Photo Session in Touraine
Every autumn, the Varennes studio transforms into a Christmas cocoon: enchanting decorations, soft lights, and little red hats, for photos to slip under the tree.
Christmas Decorations 2026
New decorations every year
A Family Tradition
Memories to give for the holidays
Christmas sessions are the favorite appointment for many families: children pose in front of new decorations each year, and the photos become greeting cards, calendars, or gifts for grandparents.
For Christmas 2026, three collections are offered: Douceur, Cocon and Prestige, from €79 to €189, with three new decorations at the Varennes home studio.

Gift card: a session of their choice, within 12 months
Looking for a meaningful gift? Give a photo session gift card: it slips under the tree and stays valid for 12 months from purchase.
It doesn't have to be a Christmas session: the recipient chooses the session that suits them and books it whenever they like during the year, on a weekend or public holiday, at the Varennes home studio (37600), near Tours and Loches.
You choose the amount, which is deducted from the session of their choice: newborn, pregnancy, family, birthday, smash the cake, iris, children's ceremony… or a Christmas session the following winter.
A perfect gift idea for grandparents, new parents or a couple, in South Touraine and Indre-et-Loire.
They come back every year
The Right Calendar
To receive your photos before December 25, your session must take place by December 9 at the latest. Online booking closes 15 days before each date.
After this date, consider the gift card: it slips under the tree and the session can be booked later, whenever you wish.
How does your Christmas session work?
1. Booking
Choose your date online as soon as bookings open, no later than 15 days before the session. To receive your photos before December 25, choose a date no later than December 9. Pick the time when your child will be at their best: rested, outside nap time and with a full tummy. Your session is booked once you have accepted the quote, signed the contract (the last box lets you choose whether your photos may be shared) and paid the 30% deposit.
2. Preparation
You receive my preparation guide, outfit tips and answers to frequently asked questions by email.
3. The session
At my home studio in Varennes, in front of this year's Christmas decorations, at your children's pace.
4. Discovering your images
I invite you to my home studio to discover your photos together and choose your favourites. If you prefer, they are delivered directly to your private online gallery within 3 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions about Christmas Sessions
When do the Christmas sessions take place?
In 2026, Christmas sessions take place from October 24 to December 19, all day on Saturdays and on Sunday mornings, at the Varennes studio (37600). For little ones, morning slots are best. Spots fill up very quickly: book as soon as they open.
Which time slot should I choose for my child's photo session?
Choose the time when your child will be at their best, rather than the one that suits your schedule. For little ones, it's often in the morning or late morning, after a good night's sleep, outside nap time and with a full tummy.
A hungry child makes things tricky; a tired child makes the session hard for them and for you. As a childminder since 2009, I see it every week: a rested, well-fed child means real smiles and a gentle session for the whole family. Also think about the drive to Varennes: a short nap in the car can shift their rhythm.
Can the whole family participate?
Yes, siblings, parents, and even grandparents can pose together in front of the decorations.
Is there an iris offer for Christmas?
Yes, a special Christmas iris session is offered at €79 for 2 people: a unique gift for grandparents.
Can the gift card be used for a session other than Christmas?
The gift card is valid for 12 months from purchase. You can give it for Christmas, even after bookings have closed.
It isn't limited to Christmas sessions: the recipient chooses their session (newborn, pregnancy, family, birthday, smash the cake, iris, children's ceremony…) and books it whenever they like during the year, at the Varennes studio near Tours and Loches.
