A Christmas family photoshoot in Mallorca can be a lovely way to remember your December holiday together.
For me, Christmas in Palma means heading into the city with my children, taking a walk beneath the lights and stopping to look at the nativity scenes. It means a cup of hot chocolate, some churros to share and little detours whenever something catches their attention.
These are the moments I love to photograph. The excitement on a child’s face, sticky fingers after a sweet treat, a warm hug while we stop to admire the lights. They’re small things, but they’re the things I want to remember about Christmas with my family.
If you’re spending your December holidays in Mallorca, you can make these moments part of your own family memories too.
A Christmas walk together
A family photo session can become part of an afternoon exploring Palma. We walk through the city, enjoy the Christmas atmosphere and take photographs along the way, following your children’s pace and leaving room for whatever draws their curiosity.
We might stop for a hot chocolate or share some churros. A little cotton candy, a candy apple or a helium balloon with tiny lights inside can add a playful touch, giving children something to enjoy and bringing colour and movement into the photographs.
There’s no need to plan every moment. Sometimes the loveliest pictures happen during a pause: a child reaching for another bite, parents laughing at a chocolate-covered face, or everyone gathering close to keep warm.
Your family, in the city you’re visiting
When you travel together, you take home memories of both the place and the time you spent there. These photographs bring the two together: your family as you are now, surrounded by the Christmas lights of Palma.
My background in education and my years photographing families have shaped the way I work. I give children time to feel comfortable, gently guide you when you need it and let the afternoon unfold with space for play, cuddles and little breaks.
You don’t need your children to stand still or smile at the camera all the time. Their curiosity and energy are part of the story. And with someone else taking the photographs, you get to be beside them — sharing the experience and appearing in the memories too.
