How to Choose the Perfect Outfits for Magical Holiday Photos
The holiday season is fast approaching, and it’s the perfect time to plan your Holiday & Santa Minis session! One of the most common questions we hear is, “What should we wear?” To help you capture those joyful, festive memories, we’ve created the ultimate guide to dressing your family for Santa Minis with Beautiful Evolutions.
1. Classic Christmas Colors: Red, Green, and White
Why It Works: These colors embody the warmth and joy of the holiday season, creating a timeless, nostalgic feel. Red and green bring a festive pop that beautifully complements Santa’s iconic suit and any holiday backdrop.
What It Conveys: Family togetherness, warmth, and tradition—ideal for capturing classic holiday moments.
Pro Tip: For larger groups, mix in shades or patterns like tartan or plaid to keep the look cohesive without feeling overly coordinated.
2. Neutral Tones with a Festive Pop
Why It Works: Neutrals like beige, ivory, and soft gray offer a chic, understated palette. Add a splash of holiday color—like a red scarf or green headband—to keep it festive and avoid competing with the holiday set.
What it conveys: simplicity and elegance, with a hint of holiday spirit for a balanced, sophisticated look.
Pro Tip: Neutral tones blend beautifully with any backdrop, making this a great option if you’re unsure of the set’s color scheme.
3. Cozy Pajama-Themed Fun
Why It Works: Matching holiday pajamas add a playful and relaxed vibe to your photos, perfect for families who want a warm and cozy aesthetic. Candy cane stripes, reindeer prints, or classic flannel are all great choices.
What It Conveys: Playfulness, comfort, and family bonding. These photos will be a keepsake of those snuggly holiday moments together.
Pro Tip: Choose well-fitted pajamas to keep everyone looking polished and avoid anything too oversized or worn-out.
4. Elegant winter attire for a sophisticated look
Why It Works: Luxurious fabrics like velvet, cozy wool, and tailored coats add a refined touch. Deep greens, navy blues, and rich burgundies are great choices for an upscale winter look.
What It Conveys: sophistication, elegance, and a high-end holiday feel that’s perfect for formal holiday cards.
Pro Tip: Coordinate outfits within the same level of formality to maintain a cohesive, polished look in your photos.
5. Accessorize with Festive Details
Why It Works: Accessories like scarves, beanies, Santa hats, or festive headbands add personality without overwhelming the photo. For kids, small props like candy canes or mini stockings can add a cute touch.
What It Conveys: Creativity and fun—a unique way to make the session feel personalized and memorable.
Pro Tip: Limit accessories to a few thoughtful pieces to avoid a cluttered look in your photos.
Your Holiday & Santa Minis session with Beautiful Evolutions is a wonderful way to capture the magic of the season.
