HOW DOES BOXED-IN WORK?

1. GET IN THE BOX

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.

2. MAKE IT YOURS

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...

🐾 PETS ARE WELCOME!

Because let's be serious—they're part of the family too.

3. WATCH THE MAGIC HAPPEN

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.

4. APPROVE YOUR CARD

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.

5. YOUR CHRISTMAS CARDS ARE DONE!

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.

I photograph it. I design it. I have it printed.

You address the envelopes. 😉

WANT A LITTLE MORE CHRISTMAS? 🎁

Once you've created your Boxed-In artwork, you may want a few extras.

Optional upgrades are available:

DIGITAL BOXED-IN ARTWORK — $20

Receive a high-resolution digital file of your finished Boxed-In artwork—perfect for sharing with friends and family online.

25 ADDITIONAL HOLIDAY CARDS — $40

Need more than the 25 included with your session? We've got you covered.

50 ADDITIONAL HOLIDAY CARDS — $70

Perfect for families with a longer Christmas card list.

BOXED-IN KEEPSAKE ORNAMENT — $30

Turn your Boxed-In artwork into a custom Christmas ornament you'll get to hang on the tree year after year.

SET OF 3 KEEPSAKE ORNAMENTS — $65

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. 🎄

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW MUCH IS THE SESSION?

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.

HOW LONG DOES THE SESSION TAKE?

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.

WHERE ARE THE SESSIONS HELD?

All Boxed-In Holiday Sessions take place at the DKG Photography studio in Levittown, PA.

CAN WE BRING OUR DOG?

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.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

That's completely up to you!

Coordinated holiday outfits, matching pajamas, ugly Christmas sweaters, Santa hats and festive colors all work beautifully.

CAN WE BRING PROPS?

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!

CAN I ORDER MORE THAN 25 CARDS?

Of course.

Additional sets of 25 and 50 cards are available.

DO I RECEIVE THE DIGITAL IMAGES?

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.

WHAT IF I WANT SOMETHING CHANGED ON MY CARD?

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.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I CANCEL?

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.

WHEN WILL MY CARDS BE READY?

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.
