Are you scheduling a session
with your photographer to have beautiful Christmas pictures taken for your
Christmas cards? Here are a few tips if you’d like to stage your photo
shoot with some very special and popular props.
Decide
on color theme
Classic Christmas red and white
Vintage Christmas red and green
Silver and pale blue
Cranberry and gold
Pale green, pink and white, just to name a few
Attire
Very popular these days for little girls from infant thru 5
years old is the pettiromper, pettiskirts, or tutus.
A string of pearls or a chunky necklace
matching hair accessory
Backdrop and flooring
also very popular is a vintage or ‘shabby chic’ looking backdrop
and floor
Assorted props
These could be anything from a vintage ottoman to lay a baby on,
to a stack of wrapped Christmas presents, a large basket, very fluffy throw or
quilt
It seems to me that the most beautiful photos were planned well in advance and every little detail is taken care of. I know so many moms who love to do this and are planning each holiday and birthday photo shoot months ahead. I have had orders for headbands for a birthday photo shoot that is months away. It's lots of fun if you plan ahead and the results are long lasting and well worth all of the effort.
