Sending Christmas greetings has long turned digital, and a Christmas-themed family picture is such a nice touch! While a studio shoot might not be a necessity, it would be a fun and unique experience to engage in as a family. You can even turn the photo sessions as a Christmas family tradition, and the prints into personalized ornaments to enhance your home’s interior, and to immortalize the good memories that Christmas bring.
Wondering where you could have your Christmas portraits taken? We got you! Here are 8 studios we recommend within and near Metro Manila:

Booking their studio is like hitting two birds with one stone. You not only get to enjoy a fun photoshoot and receive snacks and freebies after; you would also be able to help as 10 percent of their proceeds goes to PCDSG charity. This year, their theme is “Christmas in Paris”. Securing a slot follows a first come and first serve basis. Thus, to block the date, you need to pay half of the package rate. The package is good for 4 pax only, so an additional head or furry friend would require an extra charge.
