Capture the Magic: Holiday Photo Sessions & Festive Gatherings at Palacia Dacha

From the lemon-grove light of your Florida estate to the golden Amalfi tones of a Mediterranean evening, this season we invite you to create more than photos — craft heirloom moments.
At Palacia Dacha we specialize in holiday photo sessions and upscale gatherings that reflect your family’s story, your style, and those glamorous details you live for.

Why Holiday Photos?

Holiday images are so much more than cards and Instagram posts. They become the art you hang in your home, the family archive you pass down, the “remember-that-year” you’ll revisit for decades. According to photographers, booking ahead ensures the best experience. Lisa Winner Photography+1
And in your space, where each room echoes Mediterranean elegance, linen textures, cameo pendants, and bespoke prints — a photo session becomes a signature event.

What We Offer

• Luxury Holiday Mini-Sessions & Full Experiences — From a 20-minute “golden hour” family shoot by the orchard, to an evening gathering around your custom table-top setting with friends and family.

• Gatherings & Social Soirées — Host a curated holiday gathering at Palacia Dacha (or your residence) where we capture candids, formal portraits, multi-generational moments + styled décor (think Greek-key motifs, linen napkins, citrus prints, black-tie or resort-chic attire).

• Fully Styled for You — From outfit coordination to prop styling (velvet dresses, metallics, cream/gold palettes) to on-site hair & makeup — we make sure your photo session mirrors your brand-level style. One guide recommends coordinating rather than matching — choosing textures & complementary tones instead. nicolebieleninphotography.com+1

• Printed Luxury Keepsakes — After the session you’ll receive premium prints, fine-art albums or heirloom canvases that align with your interior aesthetic (Maximalist meets Old-World Mediterranean).

• Brand-Aligned Visuals — If you’re the founder (as you are), this is a chance to update your brand imagery: “behind-the-scenes” at Palacia Dacha, lifestyle imagery with your daughters, your orchard market story, the Polly Posillipo world.

Timing & Booking Tips

• Book Early: Photographers suggest securing your slot by September or early October to avoid the holiday rush. Lisa Winner Photography

• Choose the Ideal Location: Your estate offers unmatched options — indoor by the grand windows (perfect for soft light and a cozy, luxe interior) or outdoors beneath the citrus trees and Mediterranean landscaping.

• Plan for Print Deadlines: Want holiday cards, custom gifts from the session? Allow time for print-production and shipping.

• Coordinate, Don’t Match: Select a color palette and textures that complement — e.g., golds and creams, deep emeralds and navy, rich linen layers with subtle citrus accents. laurenpetersonphotos.com+1

• Make It Fun & Real: The best photos often come from authentic interactions, beloved pets, laughter, walking together rather than rigid poses. Janelle Rendon

Style & Outfit Inspiration (Perfect for Polly Posillipo Lovers)

• Think linen dresses in blown-out white, soft metallic accents, cameo-pendant jewelry, watercolor damask scarves, citrus-print pockets, Greek-key belts.

• For men: tailored linen-blend trousers, crisp poplin shirts, maybe a navy blazer trimmed in gold piping.

• Kids & multi-gen outfits: rich textures (velvet, cable-knit), a s splash of panther or alligator print (your Florida-themed motif), coordinating but not uniform.

• For a fun twist: matching but elegant holiday pajamas (especially for morning photo sessions) — relaxed yet refined.

Venue at Palacia Dacha

Your estate already tells a story: old-world meets modern, Mediterranean meets Florida sunshine, high design meets family warmth. Use the orchard market stand, the luxury interior lounge, the citrus grove twilight, or the villa’s terrace for layered storytelling.
We’ll bring lighting, styling props, and craft the set in a way that mirrors your brand voice and lifestyle narrative.

Holiday Gathering Add-On

Transform your photo session into an evening gathering: custom cocktail (Aperol Spritz theme?), high-tea moment, candlelit dinner, multi-generational laughter. We’ll capture: conversational candids, group portraits, detail shots of décor, behind-the-scenes of your brand world (Polly Posillipo garment reveals, orchard stand moments, daughters’ smiles).
Plus: custom hashtag and Instagram-ready content for you to share.
