Tampa Holiday Sessions: Captured by Mallary Opens 2026 Christmas Minis With Two New Sets
Washingtoner/10339419

TAMPA, Fla. - Washingtoner -- Captured by Mallary, the studio of award-winning Tampa photographer Mallary Denson, has opened booking for its 2026 holiday mini sessions. Families looking for a Tampa Christmas photographer can reserve a 20-minute session on one of two new styled sets between November 7 and December 5, with edited photos delivered in time for holiday cards and gifts.

This year the studio is offering only seven mini days, spread across two sets that are both new for 2026:

• A White Christmas – a studio set in New Tampa with snow-dusted evergreens, glowing lanterns and a winter archway. Dates: November 14, 15 and 22, and December 5.
• Christmas by the River – an outdoor golden-hour set at the UT Riverfront, with a flocked tree, wrapped gifts and cozy blankets set against the river and the Tampa skyline. Dates: November 7, 8 and 21.

Each mini session is $225 and includes 20 minutes on set for up to seven people, plus three hand-edited favorite images delivered within about two weeks. A 50% deposit reserves a time slot, with the balance due 24 hours before the session. Families who want more images or outfit changes can instead book a full 60-minute Holiday Portraits session on the studio's red holiday set, which has no group size limit.
