Milk & Cookies Christmas Mini Sessions in Pacific Grove
Every November, my Pacific Grove studio turns into a cozy little holiday bedroom for my Milk & Cookies Christmas mini sessions, and it is one of my favorite traditions of the whole year. Kids come in their new holiday jammies, climb up onto the bed, and get real milk and cookies to enjoy (yes, they really get to eat them!). The result is sweet, giggly, genuine Christmas photos that families come back for year after year.
This Year's Holiday Setup
For 2026, the set is a classic white bed dressed in soft neutrals and gold, with frosted wreaths, flocked Christmas trees, and twinkle lights. It is timeless enough to frame right next to every year's holiday photos.

What to Wear: Holiday Jammies
Cozy Christmas jammies are the star of these sessions. Matching sibling pajamas photograph beautifully, and soft neutrals, creams, blush and classic holiday reds all look lovely against the white and gold set.
Favorite Moments from the 2025 Milk & Cookies Sessions
Last year’s kids brought their coziest holiday jammies and their biggest appetites for cookies. Here are a few favorites from the 2025 Milk & Cookies Christmas mini sessions in Pacific Grove.
A Christmas Tradition Your Family Will Love
So many families come back for Milk & Cookies every holiday season, and it is one of my favorite traditions of the year. Before the big night when Santa visits, your little ones get to snuggle up in their holiday jammies, enjoy real milk and cookies, and just be kids. Seeing these images side by side year after year is such a sweet way to watch them grow.
Spots fill quickly, so grab your time early. Book your 2026 Milk & Cookies Christmas mini session, and if you have any questions, send me a message. I can’t wait to see you in the studio this holiday season!
