The Christmas Box Experience: Where Holiday Magic and Giggles Come to Life

Every mom knows the holidays fly by in a blur of wrapping paper, hot cocoa, and trying to keep the kids from eating all the candy canes before the tree’s even decorated.

But in the middle of all that chaos — there’s something kind of wonderful. The laughter. The silliness. The little faces that light up when you plug in the Christmas lights for the first time. Now that my kids are older (and one out of the house)… I would go back just for one more Christmas when they were all home… it was magical!

That’s exactly what inspired me to create The Christmas Box Experience.

This isn’t your typical “sit-and-smile” session. It’s fun, modern, and full of real personality — the kind of photos that make you laugh every time you see them.

Why Moms Love the Christmas Box

It’s playful and stress-free.- Kids don’t have to “behave” or “sit still.” They can jump, play peekaboo, throw on Santa hats — the more giggles, the better.

It captures real joy.- This isn’t about perfect poses — it’s about your family’s connection, laughter, and those candid moments that truly feel like you.

It’s quick, easy, and totally unique.- Each session comes with 9 images and a 10x10 print — a gorgeous keepsake that captures the fun of the season.

It’s something you’ll never forget. - The Box Experience is unlike anything else in Topeka. Every time your kids see those photos, they’ll remember how much fun they had just being themselves.

Limited Dates — and Why You Shouldn’t Wait

Sessions are happening on Saturday, November 22nd and Saturday, December 6th — and once they’re gone, that’s it. Bonus- Santa will be visiting the studio on November 22nd!

It’s one of the most fun and joyful experiences I offer all year, and it’s designed to be as stress-free as possible for parents.

You show up in your jolliest, cutest Christmas look — I’ll handle the rest.

Kim Bear

About Kim | Photographer at Still and Wild

If you live in or around Topeka, you’ve probably noticed how hard it is to find headshots that actually feel real. Most people end up with photos that look stiff, overly edited, or just not like them. That’s exactly why I started Still and Wild: to create portraits that feel like you on your best day.

I’m Kim Bear, a Topeka-based photographer who believes your headshot should work as hard as you do. I specialize in professional and creative headshots that help entrepreneurs, small business owners, and professionals across Topeka, Holton, and Northeast Kansas show up with confidence. My approach is relaxed, guided, and designed to help you look natural and self-assured in every photo.

When you book a session with me, it isn’t about forcing perfection. It’s about finding that spark, the mix of calm, confidence, and personality that makes people stop scrolling and say, “That’s who I want to work with.”

Why people choose Still and Wild

Most of my clients tell me the same thing: “I hate having my picture taken.” But by the end of their session, they’re relaxed, laughing, and usually saying, “That was actually fun.” I guide you every step of the way, from what to wear to how to pose, so your photos feel effortless, natural, and flattering.

I photograph headshots, personal branding portraits, and lifestyle images throughout Topeka, Holton, and nearby Kansas communities, blending modern studio lighting with lifestyle-inspired direction. The result is a polished but personal look that helps you stand out both online and in person.

What makes Still and Wild different

The experience at Still and Wild is personal from the very beginning. You’ll never be rushed through your session or posed like everyone else. Every session is customized to highlight who you are and what makes your story unique. My goal is to help you walk away with photos that feel like you, confident, approachable, and authentic.

After years behind the camera, I’ve learned how to use light, movement, and genuine connection to bring out your most natural expressions. Many people think they’re not photogenic, but what they really need is someone who understands how to guide them comfortably through the process. I know how to capture that perfect balance between professional and real so your headshots feel natural while still looking elevated.

And then there are the results. My clients use their photos to grow their businesses, attract better opportunities, and build stronger brands. I’ve worked with professionals across Topeka and the surrounding area who tell me their new photos changed how people respond to them online and how they feel about themselves. Whether you need a LinkedIn headshot, brand photography for your business, or a creative concept for your next project, I’ll help you create images that make people stop and pay attention.

Ready to look like the professional you already are?
