The set
Porcelain Pine
Porcelain Pine offers a soft, luminous take on Christmas, blending creamy whites, muted taupes, soft metallics, and natural evergreen tones.
A beautifully styled evergreen tree features ivory and glass ornaments, delicate bows, soft gold accents, white hydrangeas, and organic greenery. Throughout the Salon, layered greenery, a decorated fireplace, curated shelving, and neutral textiles create a warm, elevated holiday setting.
Serene yet inviting, Porcelain Pine is a timeless Christmas backdrop that feels festive, refined, and beautifully collected.

FAQ
Good to know
What should we wear?
Creamy neutrals, ivory, soft grey and cream knits sit best against the set. Skip bright red and busy pattern, which fight the greenery rather than sit in it. Dress everyone in the same range rather than the same outfit.
Where is it?
MintRoom Studios, 300 Campbell Ave, Suite 301, in the Salon Studio. It is indoors, so the weather makes no difference. Directions and parking notes come with your confirmation email.
What is Porcelain Pine?
A soft, luminous take on Christmas: creamy whites, muted taupes, soft metallics and natural evergreen tones. A styled evergreen tree with ivory and glass ornaments, delicate bows, soft gold accents and white hydrangeas, and layered greenery, a decorated fireplace and neutral textiles through the Salon.
How does payment work?
The session is $275 plus HST, $310.75 in total. A $100 deposit by e-transfer to hello@laurarossi.ca is required to secure your booking. An invoice for the remaining $210.75 balance is sent separately and can be paid before or after your session.
Can we cancel or reschedule?
No. There are only fifteen sessions in the day, and a cancelled one cannot be refilled at short notice, so deposits are non-refundable and sessions cannot be moved. Book the time you are sure of.
Who can come?
Whoever you bring. The whole family, grandparents in town for the weekend, just the kids, or the two of you. The 20 minutes are yours to use. It is Thanksgiving weekend, so the first extended family member is on Laura. $25 each after that.
When do we get the photos?
The full gallery arrives within 48 hours, and you choose your ten favourites from it rather than receiving a photographer's pick. Your edited selections are delivered within 5 business days, which leaves time for cards.
Is 20 minutes enough?
Yes, for a styled studio set. The lighting is up and the set does not move, so the time goes on your family rather than on setup. Minis are built around how long small children last.
Why is it $275?
It is a studio day, not a park. The fee covers the studio, the styled Porcelain Pine set, and ten edited images of your choice from the full gallery.
