What to Wear

Styling for Christmas 2023 Family Photo Shoots

1. The Christmas Jumper

Christmas jumpers are always a winner for Christmas Photo Shoots.

Team them up with jeans and leggings and you’re good to go for some awesome Christmas photos!!

2. Cream and Neutrals

        Colour Palette

Soft, muted colours with a hint of elegance.  Add some sparkles or glitter for some extra magic.

3. Traditional Red and Checked Shirts

Red check shirts for the men and boys, red dress for the little ones and some neutrals to break the dark colour palette.

Always remember that more than one pattern in your Photo Shoot will draw the eye to the pattern rather than to your family. Clothes without logos are best too.

4. Red, Red Wine and Blue Jeans

Perfect winter colours! And colours that will go perfectly for your Christmas Photo Shoots.

Always remember that more than one pattern in your Photo Shoot will draw the eye to the pattern rather than to your family. Clothes without logos are best too. Choose accessories that compliment your colour choice too and nothing too bling and distracting.

5. 50 Shades of Green

There are many shades of green that seem to be sticking around in the fashion world for some time now.  Sage green and mint green are two of my favourites.  They are also two shades of green that fit perfectly with Christmas Photo Shoots.  Let Dad wear a traditional green check shirt and Mum and children can go shopping for their new favourite, mint green outfit, to compliment Dad’s shirt.

Tulle is a lovely material that always photographs well and makes little girls feel like princesses. Add some sparkly shoes and the magic increases.
