Christmas Farm Minis with Bruna B. Photography

Whilst the man in red himself won’t be present for this one, instead you’ll get to pose for pics with your fam amongst literal Christmas trees at the Southern Highlands Christmas Farm, which is equally festive. It looks like there’s only bookings left for the 23rd of November though, so act fast.
