What to Wear for Holiday Christmas Photos

The holiday season is almost here, and it’s time to capture those magical moments with the whole familly! 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.

Choose from two Backdrop Themes For Your Holiday Mini Session

Our Newport News studio is all set for Holiday Mini Sessions starting on November 9th through December 14th!

The Winter Wonderland 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.

The Holiday Homestead scene is a cosy feel with a bench for a more relaxed homey feel of sitting by the tree taking those holiday photos when family comes in for the holidays. Complete with stocking over the fireplace and twinkling Christmas tree.

How to Style Your Outfits for a Holiday Mini Session

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 or white home interior!
• Forest Green 🌲 – A deep green adds warmth and looks stunning against the white scene, and fitting in nicely with the trees of the homestead backdrop.
• Navy Blue 💙 – For an elegant look, navy blue pairs nicely with the backdrop giving a timeless feel.
• 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 for the outdoor backdrop.

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.
