Outfit Ideas for Christmas Photos

Family Outfit Ideas

It’s near that time of the year again – the Holiday Season. But let’s be real, it’s Christmas photo season. Sure, I’m all about the pumpkin patches and apple cider, but Christmas? It’s got a different allure. Around October is when my phone starts buzzing with texts and calls, my inbox fills up with emails – all asking one thing: “Hey, do you have outfit ideas for Christmas photos?” And I gotta tell you, my inner stylist does a little happy dance every time. I’ll admit, I don’t get the question as much lately, because I send a style guide after your session is confirmed. However, sometimes people want extra ideas. So if that’s you – no worries. I’m here to help!

I’ve rounded up three spiffy outfits for Christmas specifically, but these could apply to a Fall photoshoot as well. These are meant to suit your style, the location of your photoshoot, and where you’re at in life. Got a postpartum glow? I’ve got breezy dress suggestions. Looking to flaunt your summer fitness results before the holiday feasts kick in? I’ve got a dress style shown that’ll highlight that waistline. Of course we always book these sessions for our kids because we know that time is fleeting. But when it comes to picking the winning shot, I’m looking at one person: me. I need an outfit that’s spot-on, that I can feel beautiful in, while also feeling like my true self. That’s why I’ve included these holiday card get-ups tailored just for you, so that everyone can not only look amazing together, but feel amazing!

Outfit Idea #1: Earthy & Simple

If your session is in the great outdoors, this is a top pick. There’s something about its natural, yet stylish vibe that really stands out. This dress style is a stunner and a versatile piece for all seasons. While this particular combo is a standout, there are plenty of other dresses and shoes that can fit into this look seamlessly. If you follow this color palette, finding a similar look won’t be as tough as you might think! You can easily make your family photo outfit ideas come to life.

Outfit Idea #2: Creamy & Beautiful

This is another one for those seeking to make a statement outdoors. Honestly, this ensemble is a no-brainer. It’s got a down-to-earth charisma that sets it apart. Plus, you can’t go wrong when it comes to neutrals. They bring such a classy and elevated look to your photos. I lean toward maxi dresses so much because in the midst of kid-wrangling and snack-juggling, it’s breezy and a lifesaver for comfort and ease. You will seriously find a lot of maxi dresses when searching for holiday clothes. An additional perk is that this is another color palette that can be super versatile and easy to shop for!

Outfit Idea #3: Pink Christmas

I bet you’re surprised to see pink in a blog post about outfit ideas for Christmas photos. It’s a bit unorthodox, I know. But trust me, straying from traditional holiday colors can really make your photos pop! I often suggest this approach for my studio Christmas sessions, given that we have plenty of themed props set up. So why not mix things up a bit? It might just be the refresh your holiday photos need.
