Santa Mini Sessions – Outfit Styling Guide

The holiday season is almost here, and it’s time to capture those magical moments with Santa! To help you and your little ones look picture-perfect, we’ve created a simple guide on how to style your outfits to match our beautiful studio setup this year.

Backdrop Theme: Winter Wonderland

Our Newport News studio is all set for Santa Mini Sessions on November 2nd!

The scene features a cozy path surrounded by snowy trees and twinkling lights. The backdrop is full of soft whites, light grays, and a little sparkle to create an elegant, timeless look.

How to Style Your Outfits for Santa Mini

1. Colors That Pop Against the Backdrop:

  • Classic Red ❤️ – Nothing says “Christmas” like a bright red dress or sweater. It’s the perfect contrast to the snowy background!
  • Forest Green 🌲 – A deep green adds warmth and looks stunning against the white scene.
  • Navy Blue 💙 – For an elegant look, navy blue pairs nicely with the backdrop.
  • Soft Neutrals 🤍 – Cream, beige, and light grays give a classic, monochromatic vibe.
  • Metallic Accents ✨ – Add a bit of sparkle with silver or gold in accessories like hairbands or shiny shoes.

2. Keep It Cozy and Comfortable:

  • Knit Sweaters – Thick, cozy sweaters keep everyone warm and add texture to your photos.
  • Dresses and Tights – For girls, choose a soft velvet dress in red or green with matching tights for a festive touch.
  • Scarves, Coats and Hats – Add a cute scarf, hat or coat for that cozy, winter feel.

3. Don’t Forget the Shoes:

  • Boots – Classic brown, black, or white boots complete the look.
  • Ballet Flats – For girls, sparkly flats add a dainty touch.
  • Cute Socks – If you go barefoot, pick socks that match your outfit.

4. Coordinating Family Outfits:

  • Choose a base color (like red or green) and have the rest of the family wear neutrals to complement.
  • Add subtle patterns (plaid shirts, fair isle sweaters) for variety.
  • Mix textures like knit sweaters, velvet, and denim to give your photo a warm, layered look.

5. Small Details That Make a Big Impact:

  • Hair Accessories: Bows, headbands, or clips in matching colors.
  • Props: Bring a small prop like a small stuffed or a candy cane for a playful touch.
