The holidays are the perfect time to capture your family as you are right now—not perfectly coordinated, but genuinely together. Holiday family portraits Manhattan are our specialty at Heirloom by Melissa. Whether you’re looking for a cozy family portrait or want to add Santa magic for the kids, we have something for everyone this season.



Here’s what we’re offering:
Santa Experience. The full holiday moment—your kids get to meet Santa, and we capture the real reactions, the joy, the chaos. You get our “Our Christmas Story” keepsake box with a personalized letter from Santa on the lid and beautiful 5×7 prints inside.
Velvet Bleu Classic Session: Your family on our curated Velvet Bleu holiday set—think rich jewel tones, luxe fabrics, professional styling. It’s the elevated version of family portraits. No Santa, just your family looking their best in a space that’s designed to make everyone feel special. And if you want the keepsake box with your 5×7 prints, you can add that on.

The “Our Christmas Story” box is built to last. It’s velvet, personalized with the year, and the kind of thing you keep on a shelf or in a memory box. Inside: a letter from Santa (if that’s your session) or a custom print (if you’re doing family), plus your 5×7 portraits.
It’s the kind of thing that becomes a tradition—the moment you look back on and smile. If you’ve done a family session with us before, you know we focus on what matters: real moments, intentional styling, and photos you’ll actually want to display.
Spots are filling fast. If you’ve been thinking about holiday family portraits this year, now’s the time. Our studio is located at 1133 Broadway in Manhattan, and we’re ready to capture your family’s story.
