Holiday Mini Sessions
Giovanni The Photographer and Boston Studio Rental are so excited to offer luxury holiday mini sessions!
It’s That Time of Year Again!
We all know how busy the holiday season is - do not put this off until the last minute.
Get ahead of the game this holiday season by capturing your festive photos well in advance of Christmas this year!
Ladies, how hard is it to convince your significant other or older children to join a 1-hour family portrait session? Or do you have young kids who don’t have the attention span or patience for a long photo shoot?
Join our Christmas mini session and walk in and out in under 30 minutes and receive breathtaking photographs that you will enjoy for a lifetime.
We have scoured New England for the best props for this magical scene. There will be Christmas music, mini pine trees, ornaments, presents, snowballs to toss, and a mailbox for sending letters to Santa Claus.
These sessions are great for couples, young children, fur babies, and families. This is the best holiday mini set up in the Boston area. We have limited slots available, don’t miss out!
Capture Festive Family Photos in Matching PJs or in Your Holiday Best
The holiday themed scene will make for a charming backdrop for Christmas card photos or simply to update your family album.

Sessions are up to 5 immediate family members only. If you would like cousins and/or grandparents to be included, they will need to purchase a separate session.
If you cancel your session or are a no show for your session, your payment will be forfeited and no credit will be available. At our sole discretion, we may issue a credit.

“Had a mini photo session done by Giovanni. The entire space is gorgeous! The photo shoot room was set up impeccably. All the bells and whistles. Giovanni was kind, friendly and took great pictures. Excellent customer service. There were a variety of other rooms, each with top of the line design. Already getting info on birthday party/movie night space rental. Will definitely take advantage of this very cool space. What a great idea and addition to Stoughton!”
-Ana S.
“Found this place last minute for a holiday mini session with our newborn baby and I must say we had a great experience! I was nervous at first since it was suppose to be a mini session and worried we were going to be rushed but that was not the case.
As soon as we walked in we noticed how clean, spacious, and professional the place was. Diana and Giovanni were both very kind, accommodating, and patient making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They were so enthusiastic and fun to work with and I highly recommend them!”
-Susan B.
“I have so many great things to say about my experience with Boston Studio Rental, Giovanni The Photographer, and Diana. The studio is clean and GORGEOUS. I was impressed and my children were excited to be there upon entry. Diana greeted us at the door, she was so warm, friendly, and professional, She was offering to help me carry in all my things and even helped bring in the children. She was so genuinely kind and patient beginning to end. I am extremely impressed by Giovanni for so many reasons:
1. He was so great with my two toddlers, he was picking them up and making them laugh the entire time, my kids were happy around him,
2. He is very knowledge and skilled at photography, I am NO model, but thanks to him, he was able to direct me on my poses so that my pictures would be flattering/look my best and that I will be pleased with them
3. He was patient and accommodating. In the end, we were brought to a room where snacks and beverages were served, I thought this was such a professional and beautiful gesture.
Lastly, I am highly impressed with the fast turn-around time for the pictures. We took our pictures on Sunday and I just received my pictures today, Tuesday (48 hrs!!!), and even though the mini session includes 3 pictures, I will be purchasing 10. Narrowing down to 10 was difficult because there were so many beautiful pictures. Thank you so much Giovanni and Diana. I am so happy I chose Boston Studio Rental for my holiday pictures and I highly recommend!!! 10/10 service.”
-Fernanda D.
“Love! Pictures were fun and quick! Definitely coming back and made things so much easier with our young boys. My 4 year old loved how he made him laugh. Highly recommended!”
