Soirée at the Atelier · Holiday 2026
Navy panelling, firelight, brass and frosted pine — a fully styled holiday set in Watertown. Families, couples, business owners and teams sit for portraits here. Photographers rent the room and shoot their own.
October 1 – December 31, 2026 · 372 Main Street, Watertown
One set, two audiences. Families, couples and business owners book a session with our photographer. Photographers, brands and content creators rent the set on a residency and run their own shoots.
For families, couples & business owners
For photographers & brands
Portrait sessions
The set is styled and lit before you arrive. We direct, you relax, and the gallery lands while there's still time to order prints and cards.
Weekends book out first, and December 12 is the last date that reliably clears for holiday card printing. Gift vouchers available — call the studio.
Styled in navy, champagne and ivory. Photographed as it stands.
