Cozy Holiday Portraits Without Santa for Infants Under 3 Months :: Andover MA Baby Photographer
If your baby will be under 3 months old this holiday season, you might be wondering if it’s even possible to get Christmas photos. The answer is absolutely yes, and these sessions are honestly some of my favorites! Cozy holiday portraits for infants under 3 months look a little different than traditional Christmas or Santa photos sessions, but they’re every bit as magical. And baby’s first Christmas is definitely something to celebrate with professional photos!
Instead of waiting in long lines or worrying about overstimulation, we keep things calm, cozy, and baby-led. These holiday baby portraits without Santa focus on all the little details you never want to forget. It’s all about tiny toes, sleepy smiles, and that soft newness that only lasts for a few short months.
What We Can Capture With Young Babies
Even with infants who are only a few weeks or months old, there’s so much variety we can create in your gallery. The beauty of Christmas infant photography is that it’s all about gentle posing, soft textures, and simple setups that let your baby shine.
Some favorites include:
- Comfy and safe in cozy props: think knit blankets, woven baskets, and soft greenery for a seasonal touch.
- On their back with festive details: a simple Christmas hat, a string of soft lights, or a few ornaments nearby.
- Tummy time portraits: if baby’s ready, we can capture their sweet little expressions as they lift their head.
- In your arms or with siblings: nothing compares to the warmth of holding your newborn during their baby’s first Christmas photo session. Don’t want to get in the photos? That’s okay! We can have big brother or sister pose with them instead.
We move at your baby’s pace, keeping everything safe, comfortable, and stress free. Every pose, every prop, and every setup is designed to highlight your little one’s natural beauty and create cozy holiday portraits for infants that you’ll treasure forever. This is such a special way to celebrate baby’s first Christmas season.
Why Skip Santa (Just This Year)
Santa photos can be wonderful for toddlers and older kids, but for babies under 3 months, they’re often overwhelming. A no-Santa Christmas session gives you timeless, baby focused photos that capture your child’s first holiday in a calm, meaningful way.
Christmas photos for babies are also perfect for creating holiday cards or gifts for grandparents without the chaos of a crowded Santa event. You’ll end up with photos that feel festive and classic, not rushed or posed.
