Holiday Mini Outfit Guide
The most magical time of the year is almost here, and I can’t wait to capture your family’s cozy, joy-filled moments during my 2025 Holiday Mini Sessions in Clarence Center, NY! Whether you’re snuggling up on the couch surrounded by twinkling trees or “baking” cookies with your little ones, the right outfits will make your photos shine.
Here’s your complete guide to planning picture-perfect holiday looks ✨
🌲 1. Coordinate, Don’t Match (unless its just the kids)
The goal is to create a cohesive color palette — not identical outfits.
Choose 2–3 main colors and add one neutral (like cream, beige, gray, or denim).
Holiday Color Palettes That Photograph Beautifully:
Cozy Neutrals: Cream, tan, soft gray, and muted green
Classic Christmas: Deep red, forest green, and ivory
Elegant Winter: Navy, champagne, and metallic accents
🍪 2. Dress for the Set
You’ll have two gorgeous styled options:
Cozy Couch Among the Trees: Think chunky knits, soft flannels, and warm textures.
Holiday Kitchen Setup: Aprons, playful sweaters, or casual layers that you don’t mind getting a little “flour” on for the cutest baking shots!

Add cozy layers — scarves, hats, or beanies — and skip busy patterns or neon tones. Neutral socks or slippers work best for the indoor sets.
✨ 5. Final Tips
Avoid large logos or text – they distract from your family’s faces.
Steam or iron outfits the night before for that polished look.
Bring one backup outfit for little ones just in case!
