KAISERSLAUTERN CHRISTMAS TREE FARM MINI SESSIONS

Check out our Kaiserslautern family photography sessions for more sessions like these Kaiserslautern Christmas tree farm mini sessions in the area.

With the Christmas season typically being one of the busiest times of the year, it was hard to not try to capture some Christmas photos with families in the KMC area. The big issue this year that threw a wrench in everything was covid. Last year we were able to go to all sorts of Christmas markets in Europe. Rachel and I had made visits to Christmas markets in Germany, France and Poland. This year however with covid cases rising, most of the Christmas markets were not open.

In previous years we haven’t done much studio work so we were hesitant to offer indoor sessions. Back in the states I’d seen Christmas tree farm mini sessions and thought we could do that here as well. So Rachel and I set out to explore the area to find Christmas trees we could use. After searching the Facebook groups for locations, someone had tagged a place where you can get fresh trees. We thought that they may just have a tree lot setup for us to use. So we drove over and found their home first where they bring all of their trees to sell. If you’re looking for a fresh Christmas tree this season go check out Benjamin Siegfried’s website and their home in Mehlbach for some great trees.

MEHLBACH CHRISTMAS TREES

From their house we saw the rolling hills below and all the Christmas trees growing on the hillside. So we got back in the car and drove out to explore it and it was beautiful. After discussion with Benjamin he allowed us to use his property and his Christmas tree lot as long as we bought a Christmas tree from him. So we bought our first real Christmas tree and we loved it! After we had the location set and permission from the owner we began to advertise. There were 26 different families that came to join us (of the 45 total Christmas mini sessions this year) for these Kaiserslautern Christmas tree farm mini sessions.

We did sessions there on 10 different days through November and December. Obviously 10 different days wasn’t very practical with drive time and we applied that to next year. There was a variety of different weather and lighting for these mini sessions over the span of 10 days. Some days it was sunny, some days it was raining and some days foggy. I brought out some decor we had found and purchased from some of the local Germans. There were ornaments on the trees, presents lanterns and a sled.

CHRISTMAS CARD PHOTOS

There was quite a variety of people to show up for our Kaiserslautern Christmas tree farm mini sessions. We had couples, families, dogs and even maternity announcements! Each session was unique and fun, capturing smiles and holiday spirit. This year we also were hosting Kindsbach Christmas mini sessions and some families opted to both indoor and outdoor mini sessions.

Wherever we are living when the holidays season comes around we’ll be doing Christmas mini sessions. Whether it’s at a festively decorated Christmas market or a Christmas tree farm we’ll have an outdoor option available.
