Christmas sessions 2026A Christmas experience, designed with intention
Christmas at Yancy Villatoro Photography is more than a seasonal backdrop.
Each year, the studio is transformed into a collection of immersive Christmas worlds designed for beautiful portraits, meaningful moments, and the magic that makes this season feel different from every other time of year.
For Christmas 2026, you will have three distinct experiences to choose from, each with its own story, atmosphere, and style.

Noël on the rue*
Oct. 17th-Nov 21st
Our signature Christmas experience for 2026.
Step onto a European street at Christmastime, where glowing lanterns reflect against cobblestone, Christmas greenery dresses the old façades, and a little café waits beneath the warm lights.
At the heart of the street sits Cappuccinos Cafe, a personal detail inspired by the café our family once owned and a small piece of our story brought back to life for Christmas.
Noël on the Rue was designed as a real environment rather than a traditional Christmas backdrop. From the café table to the glowing windows, streetlamp, bench, and architectural details, every part of the set creates another opportunity to photograph your family naturally and beautifully.
The result is warm, nostalgic, sophisticated, and cinematic.
Like stepping into your own Christmas movie.
