This year is going by so fast, and it is already time to start thinking about what to wear for holiday portraits. Scheduling an annual session can be a great way to make memories with your family. And the portraits will be simply perfect to use on your holiday cards! I recommend booking your family portrait session as soon as possible – the holidays will be here before you know it.
Fun Ideas for Holiday Sessions
Cute winter-themed shoots are perfect for holiday cards. I love doing in-home and studio sessions with families. If we do an in-home session, you can go ahead and get the holiday décor out – even if it feels early! Not only will this give your portraits a festive look, but it will also make you all the more prepared for the holidays.
Casual Outfit Ideas for Family Portraits
There are so many options for what to wear for holiday portraits. Consider your personal style and what you want your holiday cards to look like. Fun matching jammies can be so cute in holiday portraits! There are so many different themed pajama sets out there – from striped elf pajamas to cozy flannel sets. And you can top it off with a Santa hat or reindeer antlers. Now how cute is that?
If you want to opt for casual portraits without wearing pajamas, you can do that! Wearing nice jeans and cozy sweaters is a classic approach to what to wear for holiday portraits. Ladies can accessorize with jewelry, boots, and a fresh manicure. And the guys always look nice in a button-up, jeans, and dress shoes. You can also choose to do a couple of different outfits, including a casual one and a formal one.
Dressy Outfit Ideas for Family Portraits
Having at least part of your session in dressy outfits is a good idea. Coordinate with your family members to pick a winter color palette.
Black, white, and other neutrals are always classic. The girls may want to wear little black dresses, while the guys can wear white button-ups and black slacks.
This will give your portraits a timeless look.
