Step Into the Wonder of Christmas at Cloud 9 Studios in Wesley Chapel

Christmas has a way of bringing out the very best in all of us. It’s in the way your little one clutches their list for Santa, how the lights seem to glow just a bit brighter when your family is together, and those tiny moments that make your heart ache ... in the best way.

At Cloud 9 Studios, we design magical holiday scenes where your children can play, imagine, and be themselves.

Meet Your Photographer

Hi, I’m Jeanine — and like so many of the moms who walk through our doors, I know exactly what it feels like to want to make every Christmas count.

I’ve been doing this for years, and I’ve learned that while the holidays move fast, the moments that truly matter are the ones where your children are laughing, dancing in their Christmas jammies, or whispering silly secrets to their siblings while the lights twinkle behind them. That’s what we create here.

At Cloud 9 Studios, we’ve turned holiday portraits into something more than a checkmark on your to-do list. We’ve built a warm, joyful, stress-free experience designed especially for busy parents who want something meaningful without the overwhelm.

When you walk into the studio, you won’t just meet me, you’ll meet the Cloud 9 Studio Elves: a cheerful crew of assistants, stylists, and magic-makers who help your kids feel right at home and ensure everything runs smoothly. From setup to giggles to helping pick the perfect elf gift, we’re here to make the magic feel effortless.

We know you don’t get these years back. That’s why we put so much love into every detail—from the sets to the smiles to the portraits you’ll hang on your wall or gift to grandparents.

We can’t wait to meet your family and help you create something truly special this Christmas.

"Hi! I'm Jeanine McLeod, the Santa approved owner of Cloud 9 Studios! I believe that photographs are the key to preserving the magic of childhood. As my client’s children grow and change the portraits I create become a collection of memories that reminds them of the years their children spent filling their homes with joy and laughter. "
