The Cinevize Holiday Experience

Not at all. We have curated multiple immersive holiday sets that come fully styled with high-end props. You just need to bring your family and your smiles! If you have a specific sentimental item you’d like to include, feel free to bring it along.

We know holiday schedules are busy, so we’ve designed this to be efficient without feeling rushed. Most sessions last between 20–45 minutes depending on the package you choose. We have the sets ready to go so we can focus entirely on capturing you.

We want you to get your cards out in time! You will receive your proof gallery within 2 business days of your session. Once you select your favorites, the final fully-retouched images and Motion Portraits are delivered within 5 business days.

This is something unique to the Cinevize experience. In addition to your still photos, we film a cinematic, slow-motion video clip of your family during the session. It’s a modern, polished way to share your holiday spirit on Instagram or TikTok that goes beyond a standard photo.

Unlike standard mini-sessions where you might get basic color correction, every single final image you receive from us is hand-polished. We smooth skin, remove temporary blemishes, and ensure the lighting is perfect. We want these to be heirloom-quality images you keep forever.

Yes! For our "Winter Story" and "Heirloom" experience, we allow for an outfit change to give you more variety.

Yes! If you select one of our full packages, we handle everything. You get custom-designed luxury cards with envelopes included. No need to upload photos to a third-party site or worry about print quality—we do it all for you.

Absolutely. If you fall in love with more photos than your package includes, you can purchase additional fully-retouched digital files or professional prints directly from your gallery.

Yes, a non-refundable $50 retainer is required to secure your time slot on our calendar. The remaining balance is due at or before the session.

We want you to look timeless! The best advice is to coordinate rather than match. Instead of everyone wearing the exact same shirt, choose a color palette and mix textures and shades within that family.
