Christmas is the perfect time to capture magical moments with a mini photo session. If your theme is a snowy candy cane scene or a snowy forest with lamps, you'll want to dress in a way that complements these festive backdrops. Here are some tips to help you and your family look picture-perfect for your Christmas mini session photo shoot.
1. Choose a Colour Palette
Red and White: Embrace the candy cane theme with classic red and white outfits. Think red jumpers, white scarves, and striped accessories.
Winter Neutrals: For a snowy forest setting, consider soft neutrals like cream, beige, and light gray to blend seamlessly with the winter wonderland.
Pop of Green: Add a touch of green to reflect the natural forest elements, such as a green scarf or wooly hat.
2. Layer for Warmth and Style
Cozy Knits: Wear knitted sweaters or cardigans for a cozy and stylish look.
Scarves and Hats: Accessories like scarves, hats, and gloves add texture and interest to your photos, and play up to the outdoor themed backdrops.
Layering: Layering allows you to adjust to different temperatures (less important inside), but also adds depth to your outfit.
3. Coordinate, Don’t Match
While it’s tempting to match outfits perfectly, coordinating colours and styles can create a more natural and visually appealing look. Choose complementary colours and patterns that reflect each person’s personality while still fitting the overall theme for your Christmas mini session photo shoot.
4. Consider the Setting
Snowy Candy Cane Scene: Play with bold colors and patterns. Stripes and polka dots can add a playful touch.
Snowy Forest with Lamps: Opt for more muted tones and textures that evoke a serene and magical atmosphere.
5. Footwear Matters
Choose footwear that is both stylish and practical. Boots are a great option for a snowy setting, providing warmth and a classic winter look. Consider neutral colours or festive red boots to tie your outfit together.
6. Add Personal Touches
Incorporate personal elements like a cherished family scarf or a favourite holiday jumper to make your photos even more special and meaningful.
Although the tips above gives some practical guidance, my final piece of advice is don't overthink it. The idea is to have a bit of fun and having 3 children myself, getting them to wear what you want to get them to wear, is easier said than done!!
With these tips in mind, you'll be ready to create beautiful and memorable photos that capture the spirit of the season!
