The holiday season is a classic time of year for a Family Session. I had a lot of fun doing Holiday Minis at Amherst State Park in Buffalo, New York this past 2023 holiday season.

But we took a few minutes to play and explore the nearby trails of the park and she warmed up enough to have a few portraits taken.
