Here’s How to Get Free Family Christmas Photos in Maine This Year

If your family is like ours, you spend a decent amount of time in the winter scheduling family portraits, shopping for matching outfits, and then actually going to the session. Okay, I should be clear, my wife actually does all the work for this, I just go where I'm told when I'm told to go there.

However, a fun (and weekly!) event is making it a lot easier to get those seasonal photos done. According to Visit Freeport, L.L. Bean is offering complimentary professional family-photos as part of their Northern Lights Holiday Celebration.

The sessions are planned on Thursdays from 5-8p and are a totally complimentary 10 minute professional session for your whole family. Wondering how you should dress or what the backdrop is? Well, in total Beans style, the photos are taken in the Hunting & Fishing store in front of a cozy little fireplace.

This is a really great chance to get those family photos you've been wanting while saving a little coin in the process. However, as you might imagine, interest is very high, so reservations are needed in order to book one of the complimentary slots.

You can call the store to ask about reservations by dialing 877-755-2326. Additionally, there is all kinds of other things happening over the next couple months as part of the celebration including the smore's shed, outdoor holiday movies, kids' story time and much more.
