Christmas sessions fill up quickly as families plan their holiday cards and gift portraits. Don’t wait to secure your spot for this year’s holiday memories.
Your Holiday Story, Beautifully Told
When the frost kisses the Blue Ridge Mountains and homes glow with twinkling lights, it’s time to gather your loved ones for portraits that celebrate the season’s warmth. Christmas sessions at Carla Funk Photography aren’t just photo shoots—they’re experiences that capture the laughter, love, and luminous spirit that make your family’s holidays extraordinary.
Whether you’re continuing a cherished tradition or starting a new one, these sessions create more than images. They freeze moments of pure joy: your toddler’s wonder at sparkling ornaments, grandparents wrapped in their grandchildren’s embraces, and the quiet contentment of being together during the most wonderful time of the year.

What Makes Our Christmas Sessions Special
A Personalized Holiday Experience
Every family celebrates differently, and your portraits should reflect your unique traditions. From coordinating with your favorite holiday colors to incorporating meaningful props like heirloom ornaments or handmade stockings, we craft sessions that feel authentically yours.
Our Abingdon studio transforms into a winter wonderland with carefully curated backdrops ranging from rustic farmhouse charm to elegant seasonal sophistication. Want to include your perfectly-behaved (or perfectly-mischievous) pet? They’re family too, and we welcome them with treats and patience.
The magic happens when you relax into genuine moments—siblings sharing secrets by the fireplace setup, parents stealing a kiss under decorative mistletoe, or the whole family bursting into laughter during a playful moment. These unscripted treasures often become the most cherished images.
