Why choose family photography in Gramado?
A family session in Gramado at Christmas is the reason many families make the trip. The evening shows are long and late for small children, though, and the Natal Luz crowds peak after dark. The festival has a daytime side that suits children far better, with Santa's village open in the morning, and that is where a family session with toddlers belongs.
