The best gift is being together. The best memory is keeping it.
Book my session · $18030 minutes · Up to 5 people · All the photos
The magic of Christmas lives in the hugs, your little ones' laughter and those family moments you wish you could keep forever.
At Studio Recam we created Christmas at Home, a photo session to celebrate your family's love and turn this season into memories you can relive year after year.
A tribute born from love 🤍
This experience was created in honor of my mom, Militza Burgoa. Her memory inspires me to celebrate family and to treasure those moments together that become so important over time.
Every family that visits us becomes part of this tribute. My wish is that you take home a memory of your hugs, your smiles and the joy of having each other.
With love,Yenifer
For today and for a lifetime
A memory to keep forever
Kids grow up, families change and every Christmas has its own story. Give yourselves a moment to be together, hug each other and let us capture the most beautiful part: you.

To keep the set clean, you may only enter in socks or barefoot. No shoes are worn on the set.
We recommend bringing nice socks that match the family's outfits, since they may show up in the photos.
Let us know when you book how many people will attend so we can plan your session.
Before your visit
Arrive 10 minutes early, with everyone ready and dressed. Outfit changes and any breaks you need during the session are part of the 30 minutes booked.
If you'd like to bring props or include a pet, please ask us first. Minors must be accompanied and supervised by their mother, father or guardian for the entire visit.
We'll work patiently to capture special moments. Expressions, smiles and poses depend on how each participant feels; we can't guarantee a specific pose or photo.
Wardrobe guide
What should we wear?
A cream knit dress or a satin skirt with a soft sweater.
A beige or ivory sweater with camel or brown pants.
A cream dress, tights and a velvet bow.
A knit sweater with beige or light brown pants.
An oatmeal knit set or romper, comfortable and without big prints.
Three lovely combinations
Cream + beige + camel
Soft, warm and timeless.
Ivory + chocolate brown + gold
Elegant and cozy. Keep the gold to small details.
Cream + beige + burgundy
More Christmassy. The red can be a bow, a sweater or tights.

Booking and payment
To save your date and time you pay a $50 USD non-refundable deposit. This amount is deducted from the total price of your session and the remaining balance is paid on the day of the session by Zelle or cash. Your spot is confirmed once we receive the deposit and send you the confirmation. Messages or inquiries alone don't hold a spot.
Any additional services you request will be charged separately, with your approval.

- Less than 48 hours: no refund is offered for client cancellations. You can request a reschedule, subject to availability.
- If you don't show up and don't let us know before your time: the payment is non-refundable and a new booking will be required.
Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method within 7 business days. When they show up depends on your bank or payment provider.
Date changes and illness
You're allowed one date change at no charge, subject to availability during the Christmas campaign.
If someone has a contagious illness or an emergency comes up, contact us before the session so we can find an alternative. If no date is available, the cancellation policy will apply based on how much notice was given.
Punctuality
If you arrive late, the session will end at the originally booked time out of respect for the next families. Time lost due to client delays is not refunded.
Extra time can only be added if there's availability and costs $40 USD for every 15 minutes.
If the studio needs to cancel
If Studio Recam can't hold your session, you can choose to reschedule at no cost or receive a full refund of what you paid for services not provided.

The number of photos depends on how the session goes; a minimum number is not guaranteed.
- Delivery: within 24 hours after the session.
- Access: you'll receive an email with the link to your online gallery and a PIN to download your photos with your email.

If you'd like edited photos, you can order them for $3 USD each. Other editing services will be quoted separately and are subject to availability.
If there's a problem with your gallery or files, contact us and we'll fix it. If a failure attributable to the studio prevents us from delivering the photos, you can choose to repeat the session at no cost or receive a full refund.
Personal use of your photos
You may download, print and share your photos for personal use. The package does not include a transfer of copyright or permission for sale or commercial use by third parties; for those uses, please check with the studio.
Privacy and permission to publish
We'd love to share some memories from this experience, but permission to publish your images is optional and doesn't affect the price or the service you'll receive.
We'll only use images for promotional purposes when we have the corresponding permission. Each adult must authorize the use of their own image. For minors, their mother, father or legal guardian must authorize it.
Permission will be requested separately with these options, none pre-selected:
- Yes, I authorize Studio Recam to publish photos from this session on its social media, website and digital portfolio to showcase and promote its services, without financial compensation. This authorization covers my image and, where applicable, that of the minors I identify and legally represent. It does not include paid ads or transferring images to third parties.
- I do not authorize the publication of my image or that of the minors I legally represent.
You can withdraw your permission in writing for future uses. You can also ask us to remove posts from the channels we control; we can't guarantee the removal of copies shared by third parties.
Acceptance of the policies
Before paying, you'll need to confirm: “I have read and accept the prices, what the session includes, and the booking, cancellation, refund and delivery policies. I understand that the included photos are delivered without editing or retouching.”
This acceptance is separate from the publishing permission and doesn't limit any rights you have under applicable law.
