- Baking holiday treats in the kitchen. Lifestyle photography is at it’s best when you are doing a family activity together. Embrace the mess. Think of it as a holiday card version of a birthday cake smash.
- Matching holiday pajamas in bed. When the weather gets cold, snuggle in bed together for an adorable photo op.
- Turn off the lights, and turn on the Christmas lights! This makes a really beautiful and dramatic candid photo.
- Take pictures in front of your tree. It’s a classic for a reason.
- Get outdoors. Find the ocean or a beautiful park. If there is snow, take advantage and get outside.
- Put a wreath on it. Go bohemian and wear it on your head or hang it up behind your couch.
- Gift it. Wrap a box with pretty paper and put a baby or pet inside. Family is the greatest gift.
- Go monotone. Match your outfit to your backdrop. Wear the same color hats, gloves, scarves, and ear muffs.
- Wear your favorite ugly Christmas sweaters for a holiday card with a sense of humor.
- Go glamorous. Enjoy your formal wear. You can glitz it up with sparkly clothes and jewelry.
