🎄 Christmas Experience Sessions – All You Need to Know


Thank you so much for booking a Christmas Session with me! I can’t wait to welcome you and your family to Ringtown Hurling Club for a festive, magical experience that’s fun, relaxed, and full of little Christmas moments you'll treasure for years to come.


Here’s everything you need to know ahead of your session so you can arrive stress-free and ready to enjoy every second.


📍 Location & Timing

Location: Ringtown Hurling Club

Eircode: N91 T85V

Arrival: Please arrive 5 minutes before your session to allow time for check-in and prep. Sessions are short (20-25 minutes), and it’s important that we stay on schedule.


✨ What to Expect

We’ve transformed the space into a festive wonderland, complete with twinkle lights, warm textures, and three beautifully styled scenes that each bring their own kind of magic. After your session, enjoy complimentary hot chocolates, festive treats, and a cozy letter-writing station for the kids with beautiful Christmas stationery and our very own Santa Post Box.


Oh – and Santa will be making a surprise visit, so the kids can say hello and you’re welcome to snap a few of your own photos with him too!

(Please be advised that any drinks or food consumed are at your own risk and LM Family Photography take no responsibility for allergies, spills etc)


As always I am so excited for this years sessions and look forward to meeting you all. I would absolutely love if you tagged us in any posts or stories on your social media while enjoying your experience.


📸 This Year’s 3 Magical Scenes


1. Velvet Noël

A rich and elegant Christmas look with draped walls, frosted trees, velvet bows in olive and mocha, and glowing fairy lights under a snowy woodland canopy. It’s warm, soft, and full of sparkle.

2. The North Barn

A rustic, nostalgic setup featuring Santa’s sleigh, wooden textures, hay bales, gift-wrapped presents, and a classic red North Pole Post box. Perfect for a traditional, warm holiday feel.

3. The Storybook Teepee

A cozy, quiet corner that feels like Christmas Eve itself — with dark, soft tones, a glowing twinkle-lit teepee, nostalgic Christmas props, and a magical music box to set the scene for sweet, snuggly moments (especially perfect for little ones in their pyjamas).


📍 We’ll start with the Storybook Teepee scene.

If you'd like photos in pyjamas, please arrive in PJs and bring your outfit for the remaining scenes. Only one outfit change is allowed per session.


👗 What to Wear

Your outfits make a huge difference in keeping the look cohesive and magical.

Here’s what works best with the sets:

✅ Recommended Colours

Deep greens - olive & emerald, rich browns, mocha, navy, burgundy, and gold.

Red is perfect for the North Barn and Storybook Teepee scenes too.

🚫 Please Avoid

Bright colours (like pink, pale blue, orange)

  • Cartoon characters or large logos
  • Distracting patterns that won’t suit the festive tones


If you're doing PJs for the teepee scene, please arrive in them and bring a change of clothes for the other setups.

Only one outfit change is allowed.


👞 Footwear Notes

  • Please bring clean shoes in a bag and pop them on once inside.
  • Puffy coats can be tricky, especially if a child is being held, they tend to bunch around their face in photos. Instead, opt for cardigans or woolly knits for warmth without bulk.

💅 Small but important:

  • Make sure children’s fingernails are clean — we’ll be capturing lots of sweet details too!


👶 Bringing a Baby?

If you’re bringing a little one who can’t yet sit up unaided, they’ll need to be held by a parent or sibling during the session.


💶 Payment Info

The remaining balance is €250, payable in cash on the day.

Please note: We won’t have access to online or card payments at the venue, so bringing the correct amount is appreciated.


💫 A Gentle Note

While I’ll do everything I can to make the session fun and relaxed (and bring out those sweet smiles!), every child is different. I use gentle prompts and play-based interaction, but if your little one isn’t feeling it on the day, I can’t be held responsible, though I always try my best to create connection and magic.

Cancellation or No Show

Unfortunately I have had a few occasions where people have not turned up to their session or cancelled at the last minute. I ask you to please be respectful of my time and the effort that goes into these sessions. If for extreme reasons you need to reschedule your session please contact me at least 48 hours before your session so that I can offer your slot to someone else. Cancellations less than 48 hours or no shows will be invoiced for the full session fee.

If you have a gift voucher you plan to use please let me know asap - vouchers will not be accepted on the day without having being previously checked.
