Merry Christmas! Too soon? Maybe! But itโs never too early to spread some holiday cheer.ย
What does Christmas mean to you? Is it about vacations, parties with friends, or cozy family time? For us, it’s about welcoming families for Christmas photoshoots and creating bonds that last a lifetime. That’s exactly what happened when we captured these special moments with some of our amazing clients.
The magic of authentic family holiday photos:
- The comfort of being you first and foremost, your holiday photos should reflect who you are as a family. Keeping things true to you โ style included โ is one of our top values. So many memorable shoots that involved families who chose to wear cozy, casual attireโknit sweaters and jeans. They laughed, played, and simply enjoyed each other’s company, surrounded by the golden hues of late autumn. The warmth and genuine happiness radiating from them were palpable, and the photos captured their authentic bond beautifully.
- Coordinating, not matching. Today, itโs all about coordinating colours and styles that complement each other without being too matchy-matchy. Think festive colours that blend well, like deep greens, rich reds, and warm golds, letting each personโs style stand out.
- When choosing holiday outfits, prioritise comfort and mobility for everyone, especially the kids. Formalwear can look great but may feel too tight or restrictive, particularly during outdoor sessions where kids are likely to run and play. Opt for comfortable options like cozy sweaters, leggings, and stylish shoes.
- Adding a touch of holiday cheer brings a bit of magic into your photos with subtle festive touches. No need for full Santa suits but try adding a holiday-themed scarf, a Christmas brooch, or fun socks to give your outfits a playful vibe.
Colour scheme suggestions:
- Classic red & green: Perfect for that traditional Christmas vibe.
- Navy blue & white: Crisp, modern, and adds a touch of holiday magic.
- Burgundy & emerald: Rich and festive, a warm combo that feels cozy and stylish.
- Grey & mustard yellow: Muted tones with a splash of colour for a unique look.
- Black, white & pops of colour: Add red, green, or blue accents for an eye-catching and festive palette.
