FAQ
Questions, answered.
Booking, the studio, sets, payment, photos and delivery. Anything else: hello@bookholidayphotos.com.
How do I book holiday photos with you?
Choose a session and a themed set on our booking page, pick a day and a start time from our calendar, and tell us a little about your family. We confirm by email, usually the same day. Nothing is paid until the session.
Where is the studio?
In New York City. We send the exact address and directions with your confirmation, together with parking and travel tips.
Are the backdrops and accessories included?
Yes. Every themed set comes dressed with its backdrop and accessories. You bring the outfits; we send a short color guide that works with the set you chose.
When should we book Christmas photos?
October and early November. Weekend slots in the Christmas set go first, and booking early leaves time to receive your gallery and order cards.
Do we pay a deposit?
No. Your booking is held once we confirm it, and you pay on the day after the session.
Can we do photos outside instead?
Yes, on request: choose the Outdoor Session and we plan an hour at a New York spot like Central Park or the Brooklyn Bridge.
How many photos do we get?
It depends on the session: 12 for a Holiday Mini, 35 for a Family Studio Session, 30 for a Milestone Session, 50 for Big Family & Generations, 35 for an Outdoor Session, and 6 retouched headshots plus a proofs gallery for Headshots.
How long until we get the photos?
Within 7 days, in a private online gallery you can download from and share.
What should we wear?
Colors that work together without matching exactly, no big logos, and something comfortable for the kids. We send a short color guide for the set you choose.
Is the studio good for babies and toddlers?
Yes. We keep it warm, plan breaks for feeds and naps, and never rush a newborn or a tired toddler.
Can we cancel or move our session?
Yes. Please tell us at least 48 hours ahead so we can offer the slot to someone else; nothing is owed, since nothing was paid. See our booking terms.
Can we bring our pet?
Ask us when you book: well-behaved dogs are often welcome in the classic and holiday sets.
Ready when you are.
Pick a session, a set and a date. We confirm by email, and nothing is paid until the day.
