Classic Portraits for Christmas

Christmas will be here before we know it (seriously–the summer absolutely flew by and now October is flying by, too!). This means that my studio is ready to transform into the coziest, most festive winter wonderland/Christmas extravaganza. I look forward to these Christmas mini sessions literally all year. And every year I am shocked by how quickly they come around. Whether it’s a full session or a mini session, I like to give options for my clients. And since I have clients who come see me every year for Christmas and holiday photos, I try and switch it up every year as well.

Creating Options for Timeless Holiday Photos

Not only do I like to switch it up every year for new clients, I like to give every client options. Each year I make sure to have one “dark” and one “light” option so that there can be something for everyone. Last year the darker side had a backdrop complete with giant soldier nutcrackers and a rustic red door. I added to the vibes with some nutcrackers and vintage inspired toys. It leads to a perfect blend of classic and cozy Christmas portraits.

On the lighter side, it was a backdrop complete with faux windows with a stunning view of snow covered pines. Some extra snowy pine trees, wrapped presents in a classic brown paper and golden bow motif, and some golden ornaments completed the look. I can’t wait for everyone to see the looks I have set for this year. No matter what themes or aesthetics I decide on for decorating my studio, I always make sure that I have options for those looking to keep it classic for their Christmas portraits. Whether for you classic means traditional Christmas looks, formalwear, cozy knits, or even vintage inspired pajamas.
