DKG Photography's Boxed-In Holiday Sessions turn your family's personalities, favorite holiday traditions - and maybe a little Christmas chaos - into a one-of-a-kind custom holiday design.
Bring the kids. Bring the dog. Bring the Christmas pajamas, ugly sweaters, Santa hats and your sense of humor.
I'll take care of the rest.
"Almost every person we sent a card to, texted me or called me raving about how much they loved our card. You are very talented and the boxed in pics were definitely a hit!" ~Sophia
Your $195 Boxed-In Holiday Experience includes:
📸 Your Boxed-In Photography Session
Plenty of time to create a variety of fun poses and interactions for your finished design.
🎨 Custom Boxed-In Holiday Card Design
Your individual photographs are carefully combined into a custom Boxed-In holiday creation designed specifically for your family.

🖼️ 11×14 Boxed-In Print
You'll also receive an 11×14 print of your finished Boxed-In artwork to enjoy long after the holidays are over.
A $50 non-refundable retainer reserves your appointment. The remaining $145 balance is due on or before your session date.
Boxed-In Holiday Sessions will be offered on six special studio dates:
OCTOBER
NOVEMBER
• Duration: Approximately 30–60 minutes
• Location: DKG Photography Studio in Levittown, PA
• Only 30 Boxed-In Holiday appointments are available for 2026.
Each family member is photographed individually inside the Boxed-In set.
We'll create different poses, expressions and interactions that will eventually come together in the finished design.
This is where the fun starts.
Wear matching pajamas. Dress everyone like elves. Break out the ugly Christmas sweaters.
You are welcome to bring ornaments, presents, lights, Santa hats or other small props that represent your family's personality, or use many of the studio props already on hand - even our "Grinch"-themed decorations.
And yes...
Because let's be serious—they're part of the family too.
After your session, I'll carefully edit the individual photographs and combine them to create your finished Boxed-In holiday artwork.
That's when all those seemingly separate poses suddenly start interacting with each other.
You'll receive a proof of your custom holiday card before it goes to print.
Your package includes one complimentary design revision, so we'll make sure everything looks just right.
Once approved, your custom cards are professionally printed.
No uploading photographs somewhere else.
No spending an evening trying to design a Christmas card yourself.
No figuring out which pictures work together.
You address the envelopes. 😉
Once you've created your Boxed-In artwork, you may want a few extras.
Optional upgrades are available:
Receive a high-resolution digital file of your finished Boxed-In artwork—perfect for sharing with friends and family online.
Need more than the 25 included with your session? We've got you covered.
Perfect for families with a longer Christmas card list.
Turn your Boxed-In artwork into a custom Christmas ornament you'll get to hang on the tree year after year.
Three custom ornaments make wonderful gifts for grandparents and family.
Best of all, your three ornaments don't have to feature the same available image.
One for your tree. One for Grandma. One for Grandpa. 🎄
The complete Boxed-In Holiday Experience is $195.
A $50 non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your appointment. The remaining $145 is due on or before your session.
Please allow up to approximately one hour for your Boxed-In experience.
Some families may finish sooner, but I don't want your session to feel rushed—especially when we're working with young children or pets.
All Boxed-In Holiday Sessions take place at the DKG Photography studio in Levittown, PA.
Absolutely!
Friendly dogs and other family pets are welcome. Please let me know ahead of time that you're bringing a pet so we can plan accordingly.
That's completely up to you!
Coordinated holiday outfits, matching pajamas, ugly Christmas sweaters, Santa hats and festive colors all work beautifully.
Yes!
Small props can make Boxed-In photographs especially fun because we can create interactions between the individual boxes.
Think presents, ornaments, holiday mugs, lights, signs, Santa hats and other items that fit your family's personality. We have many different holiday props at the studio that you are welcome to use, including "Grinch"-themed items!
Of course.
Additional sets of 25 and 50 cards are available.
Your $195 package includes the photography session, custom Boxed-In card design, 25 printed cards with envelopes and an 11×14 print.
A high-resolution digital file of your finished Boxed-In artwork may be added for $20.
Your package includes one complimentary design revision after receiving your initial proof.
Additional design changes beyond the included revision may incur an additional design fee.
Your $50 retainer reserves an appointment specifically for your family and is therefore non-refundable.
If an emergency arises, please contact DKG Photography as soon as possible regarding available options.
Your card design will be created following your session and sent to you for approval before printing.
Because the November 14–15 sessions take place closer to the holiday mailing season, prompt proof approval is especially important.
Clients attending the November weekend should approve their design or submit their included revision within 48 hours of receiving their proof to help keep card production on schedule.
