Christmas Mini Session Guide

Clothing & Colors

• Neutral Tones: Opt for soft, neutral shades like beige, cream, sage green, or light grey. These colors keep the photos elegant and timeless.

• Cozy Fabrics: Soft, cozy fabrics like cotton, wool, or linen add warmth and texture to your photos.

• Simple Patterns: Minimal patterns (if any) work best. Avoid bold prints or logos, as they can be distracting.

• Matching Family Outfits: Coordinating but not matching exactly creates harmony. For example, if one person wears a cream sweater, another could wear a beige shirt.

Accessories & Props

• Minimalist Approach: Less is more! Simple, small touches like a knitted blanket or subtle holiday hair accessories add charm.

• Soft, Natural Accessories: Feel free to bring props like a favorite holiday book or a cozy scarf that fits within the neutral color palette.

Hair & Makeup

• Natural Look: A natural makeup look complements the cozy, relaxed feel of the session.

• Loose Hairstyles: Soft curls or natural waves work beautifully and add to the effortless, cozy vibe.

Preparing Kids

• Comfort First: Dress kids in comfortable clothes so they can move freely. Try a practice run at home so they feel familiar with their outfit.

Session Day Tips

• Arrive on Time: Mini sessions are shorter, so punctuality is key. Arriving on time ensures we can capture the best moments.

• Relax & Enjoy: Embrace the cozy holiday setting and focus on enjoying the moment. The best photos often come from natural interactions.
