Years of
Experience
Christmas in Dubai is a season unlike any other. The city transforms, the temperature finally drops to something genuinely pleasant, and for the families, mothers-to-be, newborns, and women across the UAE who want portraits that do justice to this time of year, December is one of the most coveted months in the photography calendar.
A Christmas photoshoot is not just about a festive backdrop. At its best, it is about freezing the particular warmth of your family right now, at this age, during this chapter.
I am Arpna, a professional female Christmas photographer based in Dubai with over fourteen years of experience photographing families, newborns, expectant mothers, and women celebrating milestones across the UAE. Every Christmas session I create is fully styled, personally planned, and built around the people in the frame, not a template.

Of all the sessions I photograph each year, the Christmas family sessions hold something truly particular. There is a version of your family that only exists right now: your children at exactly these ages, your family exactly this size, this season of your lives. A Christmas family photoshoot captures it before it changes.
These sessions work beautifully for families of every composition, from young couples expecting their first child to multi-generational families where grandparents and grandchildren share the frame. Whether you prefer a magical white snowy Christmas setup, a classic red-and-green festive theme, or another beautifully styled Christmas backdrop, you can choose from a variety of props and setups to create portraits that reflect your family's personality. Sessions can take place in the studio or, where suitable, at a seasonal outdoor location in the cooler December air of Dubai. Every session is planned around your family's preferences, creating a relaxed experience and portraits to treasure for years to come.
What comes out of it is not just a photograph for the wall. It is the portrait your children will find in a box one day and hold onto.
Welcoming a baby during the Christmas season is one of the most extraordinary overlaps of joy a family can experience. A newborn Christmas photoshoot lets you hold both things at once: the wonder of a brand-new person and the warmth of the holiday season, captured together in portraits you will keep forever.
Newborn Christmas sessions are gentle, baby-led, and unhurried. Tiny festive details, soft holly, a miniature stocking, the glow of warm studio lighting, frame the baby without overwhelming the portrait. The focus is always on your little one, on those impossibly small hands, that sleepy curl, the expression that will be gone by next week.
These sessions are most beautifully done when the baby is between five and twenty days old. If your due date falls in November or December, this is one worth booking well ahead of time. Spots in December fill extremely quickly.

Being pregnant at Christmas carries its own kind of magic. The anticipation of a baby arriving, the warmth of the season, the particular feeling of carrying life into a new year, all of it is worth documenting.
A maternity Christmas session is styled to honor both the festive mood and the beauty of the bump, with gowns chosen specifically to complement the season's colors and the particular glow that comes with pregnancy. Sessions can take place in a decorated studio, at your home, or at a carefully chosen outdoor setting depending on the look you have in mind.
The full wardrobe selection, including maternity gowns and festive styling options, is available depending on the investment you choose. The experience is relaxed, personal, and unhurried from start to finish.
A baby's first Christmas is a milestone that arrives once and is gone before anyone is ready. Whether your little one is three months old and still working out how to smile, or ten months old and already pulling at every piece of festive decor they can reach, this age deserves to be captured properly.
Christmas baby sessions are filled with genuine personality. Babies at this stage have an expressiveness that is absolutely irresistible on camera, and when the setting is warm, the props are thoughtfully chosen, and there is no pressure or rush, the portraits that come out of it are some of the most joyful in the gallery.
Sessions are paced entirely around the baby's comfort and mood. If a feed is needed, we pause. If settling takes a little longer, we wait. The session works around the baby, not the other way around.

December has a particular quality that lends itself beautifully to a milestone portrait session. Something about the end of a year, the close of a chapter, makes it one of the most emotionally resonant times to step in front of the camera and document who you have become.
A women's Christmas milestone session is planned with the same depth and intentionality as any portrait session. A custom mood board, a curated aesthetic, guided posing, and festive styling elements that feel personal rather than generic. The result is a set of portraits that sit at the intersection of the season and the woman herself, elegant, warm, and entirely hers.
These sessions are available in the studio and at select outdoor locations. December availability is very limited, so early booking is strongly recommended.
Dubai’s December is genuinely beautiful for photography. The weather is comfortable, the light during the late afternoon is extraordinarily warm, and the city itself is dressed for the season in a way that adds a particular atmosphere to any outdoor or lifestyle session.
Studio Christmas sessions are available with a wide range of festive props, themed setups, and beautifully designed backdrops to suit different styles and preferences. From dreamy white snowy Christmas scenes to classic red-and-green festive themes, each setup is thoughtfully styled to create beautiful, seasonal portraits. The studio environment offers complete creative control over lighting, backdrops, and styling. For families with young children, newborns, and maternity clients, the controlled setting also provides a comfortable and relaxed photography experience.
Sharjah and Abu Dhabi clients are warmly welcome. Sessions can be arranged across all three emirates depending on your location and the investment you choose. Get in touch directly to discuss what is available nearest to you.
I am Arpna, a professional female photographer based in Dubai with over fourteen years of experience photographing families, newborns, mothers-to-be, and women across the UAE. I am also a mother of two, which gives me a particular understanding of what makes these sessions matter and what it takes to make children feel comfortable and genuinely at ease in front of a camera.
Every Christmas session I photograph is personal, planned, and built from scratch around the people in it. There are no generic poses, no rushed timelines, and no image shared publicly without your explicit consent. All editing is done personally by me, and the all-female team means every client, including maternity and women's milestone clients, is in a space where they feel comfortable and supported throughout.
Sessions are available across Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and Ajman. Travel fees apply depending on your location.

It is best to book your Christmas photoshoot as early as possible, especially for December dates. For newborn sessions, booking before your baby arrives is recommended so a session can be planned within the ideal newborn window. Family and maternity sessions are also best booked several weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and session setup.
