Holiday Style Guides
Choosing the Perfect Style: A Guide to Stunning Holiday Photos
Selecting the right outfits for your holiday photo session is essential to ensure that your photos turn out beautifully coordinated and visually appealing. To help you make the best choices for our themed mini sessions, here are some style guidelines tailored to each unique setting.
Christmas Tree Farm Sessions: Embrace Neutrals and Reds, Avoid Greens
When heading to the Christmas tree farm, you'll want to avoid blending in with the lush green surroundings. Opt for outfits in neutral tones like beige, cream, or soft grays, allowing your family to stand out against the backdrop of vibrant evergreens. Adding touches of red, whether in accessories or clothing items, will complement the festive atmosphere and add a pop of color to your photos. Consider cozy sweaters, plaid scarves, or red mittens to complete the look and capture the essence of a classic winter holiday.
Santa Sessions: Steer Clear of Reds to Harmonize with Santa’s Attire
Meeting Santa Claus is a magical experience, and you'll want your family's outfits to harmonize with Santa's iconic red suit. To avoid clashing with the jolly old man, it’s best to steer clear of vibrant reds in your clothing choices. Instead, opt for colors like deep blues, rich purples, or festive burgundies. This subtle approach will ensure that your family’s attire complements Santa’s outfit without overshadowing his presence in the photos. Add coordinating accessories and layers for texture and depth, creating a stylish and harmonious ensemble.
Christmas in the Studio: Choose Glamour Holiday or Comfy Casual
For our Christmas in the Studio sessions, you have the flexibility to express your family’s personality through your clothing choices. Consider two distinct styles:
Glamour Holiday: Embrace the festive spirit with elegant attire. Think chic cocktail dresses, suits, or formal wear in rich, luxurious colors like emerald green, deep red, or gold. Add sophisticated accessories like statement jewelry or bow ties to complete the glamorous look. This style choice is perfect for families who want a touch of elegance and sophistication in their holiday photos.
Comfy Casual, Jeans, or Pajamas: If you prefer a more relaxed and cozy vibe, feel free to opt for comfy casual outfits. Jeans paired with cozy sweaters, plaid shirts, or even matching pajamas can create a warm and inviting atmosphere. This style choice is excellent for capturing candid moments, genuine smiles, and the comfort of being with your loved ones during the holiday season.
By following these style guidelines tailored to each session, you'll not only look coordinated but also perfectly complement the holiday-themed backgrounds, ensuring that your photos capture the true spirit of the season. So, come dressed in your festive best and let us capture the magic of your family’s holiday moments at Heather Marie Photography!
Warmest holiday wishes,
