It’s that magical time of year again!

You’re invited to this year’s Cosy Christmas Minis at The Coastal Cottage in Ashgrove, happening on Saturday 6th December 2026.

Each year, Mel lovingly transforms her stunning home into a festive wonderland — and this year, we’re stepping into a beautiful Christmas palette of soft burgundy, pretty pinks and warm golden touches.

And there’s something extra special waiting for the little ones… a Christmas-tree-themed bedroom, perfect for slowing down and enjoying a little festive story time together. 📖🎄

These 15-minute sessions are about so much more than photographs. They’re about pausing in the busyness of December and soaking up the magic. I’ll be there to gently capture it all — the little moments of connection, the joy, the wonder and the beautiful chaos that makes this season so special.
