Do's and Don'ts of Christmas Photos

These are suggestions for creating photographs that are timeless and elegant. Following these suggestions is not a requirement by any means. Just helpful tips!

Do

  • Coordinate colors and pill in a solid dress or top from another print
  • Have siblings in completely different outfits
  • Look for fun elements like bows, headbands, and layers
  • Mix a print or two with solid colors (usually one smaller print and one larger print will work well together). Pull subtle colors from the prints to pick your solid color outfits
  • Coordinate Christmas colors without matching identically
  • Carry out the same aesthetic with all outfits (vintage, dressy, casual)
  • Incorporate neutrals
  • Wear coordinated plaid looks but not identical plaid print
  • Consider adding texture and layers

Don't

  • Don't have mom (or the preferred parent) + infant/baby wearing the exact same solid color as you will likely be the one holding the baby
  • Don't have all the same gender in the same outfit
  • Don't have everyone in the same color and material
  • Don't make mom and dad match
  • Don't make siblings match exactly
  • Don't accessorize exactly the same for each family member
  • Don't wear clothes with giant logos
  • Don't wear all red. Santa is wearing red and wearing a different color will make you pop
