Oh my goodness - 17 days until Sessions begin. We are prepared...but have a ton to go! Emails will start to go out with more information, but for the most part we try to use the website and our Social Media to reach everyone. Backdrop information (to the best of our knowledge now....) 

OSSEO STUDIO  schedule here 

Backdrop ONE will be available for more of a dressy family photo option. Standing or sitting will be an option. Seating will be white/beige. 

Backdrop TWO is a new kitchen option. This year we are bringing back the "messy props" as an option. ( flour, sugar....etc.. and all the fun baking essentials for the kitchen) I know this will be a fun option for the sessions!

Backdrop THREE - A completely new option this year. We are bringing in new props to make this one fun and a totally new option for the inside studio!

ISANTI STUDIO/OUTDOOR STUDIO   schedule here 

Things are moving along at the outdoor studio prepping for holiday minis! It is hard to believe in just over a month Santa will be here! Just a few details about what I know so far! Photos can be with or without Santa!

 The Greenhouse will have a "Modern Farmhouse" theme this year. Expect browns, greens, whites neutral colors. We have a new couch this year (beige) 

 The new green Studebaker is almost ready to be in holiday sessions!

 Santa's workshop will be back again, but will be redesigned and be a bit different.

 Santa's sleigh will make a comeback this year too. Of course the Snow machine will be here too!

Details about other backdrops will be out as they are added...

What to expect at both locations for Holiday mini Sessions.

Both locations will have great options for both Santa and Non Santa sessions.

OSSEO STUDIO

There will be at least three new backdrops. We are setting it up this year to avoid disappointment of both parents and kids that they did not make it to all the different options. This way they will have time to do all the options.

1. A kitchen set up different from past years. This is a favorite of all kids and parents.
2. A barn theme option.  I’m excited about this one! It is so different for inside photos. 
3. A backdrop with a bench/couch that is specifically set up for family portraits and posed portraits for the kids. More details when its all picked out.

ISANTI STUDIO

1. The greenhouse will always be an option, set up different as always
2. Per request of all the kids, Santa’s workshop will be back for a second year,  just set up different.
3. We’ve purchased an old 1955 Studebaker that is green/rusted and perfect for Holiday photos this year!
4. A set up with our snow machine

I haven’t figure out how yet, but Santa’s sleigh may make its way out too…there is always room for that!

2024 holiday minis are coming soon!  Santa will be at both the OSSEO INDOOR STUDIO and the CBM OUTDOOR STUDIO. 

Holiday Session info and important dates to keep in mind!

Holiday session prescheduling will start JULY 10TH (emails will be sent prior to that date with all the information)

Regular Scheduling will open on JULY 15TH

If you have had a session IN 2024 with CBM prior to JULY 15TH you will be getting an email offering to schedule prior to schedule release.

We are limiting the schedule a bit this year and only offering weekend dates due to availability. Non Santa sessions will have a little more flexibility for evenings. We are still finalizing the schedule for you. It was requested that we have more non-Santa times available so that is our plan.

Tree Farm sessions will also be released on the same dates.

All mini sessions will remain at 2023 prices through August 1st and then price will be increased.

Backdrops are on order for the indoor studio…and will be released soon…the plan is to limit backdrops a little so that kids will make it to all of them instead of having to choose. This year they are all very different than we have ever had before.

As always, for those that follow CBM, the best way to get the most updated information on holiday minis is through the Facebook VIP page  JOIN HERE 

I heard through the grapevine that Santa has been shopping for a new vintage truck just for holiday sessions! So many things going on!

The tulip patch at the CBM outdoor studio is finally ready for quick minis! Dates and times of course are limited! We had a blast last year and can't wait for photos this year!

'Tis the season to start planning for summer! Summer due dates, 2025 grad photos and family photos should be getting on the calendar soon. The calendar is open through July 2025 but August will be open soon!

I will be adding some mini session dates, but now is the time to watch the calendar. The VIP group will be where any mini session dates will be posted. The tulips are starting to come up, but not enough to guess dates for when they will be ready. Holiday sessions will be ready in July! 

Created By Me photography has multiple locations? We always have questions about our "studios"  

For those who have not been out to see us here is the breakdown. 

1. Our Osseo studio is located in Osseo, MN. It is a storefront studio - 2500 square feet of studio space with backdrops, props, couches etc. This is where we do newborns, family photos, senior photos, headshots, really anything. It is located in the middle of downtown Osseo so you can also step outside and have some photos downtown too!  To schedule at this this location click here! 

2. CBM also shoots at other locations in the Twin Cities. We choose locations after your session is booked based on what you are looking for and where the other sessions are that same day. If you have a preference you can let us know the day of your session. The time of your session also makes a difference. Always remember the sun plays a game in the location that is chosen!   To book an outdoor session with CBM click here! 

3. CBM has an outdoor studio in Isanti/East Bethel, MN. This is where our greenhouse is. We have been building the outdoor studio on our private land. We have several photo ops here as well as props. To book a session here click here! 

Any questions email me, I am happy to help!  email me here!

Perfect lighting for this session! Evening sessions are always better for lighting!  Golden light/Sunset timing is my favorite for most sessions, especially maternity sessions.
