What to wear to your Christmas Photo session?

If you’re not quite sure what to wear to your upcoming Christmas photo session I’m here to help. I’ve gathered a few tips and ideas that I believe to be super helpful when deciding on a wardrobe. I’ll be geared towards families but these tips can be applied to any session type.

Pick comfort over everything

I’ve been in situations where clients wear the most beautiful outfits that unfortunately are super uncomfortable and they end up not enjoying the session and not having the best experience. I can guarantee you that there is a beautiful and comfortable outfit out there you can wear. If you choose to skip this step do so at your own risk but for the kiddos for sure consider implementing this. You want them to be as happy as possible during the session. 

Don’t wear matching outfits

Let me explain, you can coordinate your outfits to match just don’t wear the exact same thing. I know most people do this to make the family a unit but there’s another way to do so. For example, instead of wearing the same color tops you can wear different shades of the color. 

Consider your location

If you’re doing an outdoor session consider wearing coats or jackets. Layering up is an easy way to add style and keep yourself warm during the cold seasons. Boots are also very stylish and perfect for outdoor sessions. If you're doing it indoors you can always do a photo session in your PJs. I find these super cute and unique.

Avoid colors that will blend in with your surroundings.

 Will your family blend in with the trees if you all wear the same shade of green? The great outdoors can serve as a stunning backdrop, especially for a woodsy Christmas photoshoot idea. Even if green is your favorite color, you don’t want that to be the only thing people see. Make sure to differentiate yourself from the environment to bring out faces in the photo.

Ideas for the best color combinations on Christmas clothes for family pictures:

  • Green, red, and gold

  • Emerald and burgundy

  • Dusty blue and blush

  • Red, white, and black

  • Forest green, rust, and tan

  • Gold and cream

  • White, cream, and grey

  • Black and white

  • Grey, navy, and burgundy
