Christmas photo-shooting tips & ideas for couples to show the love

Keep it Simple:

Focus on Each Other: Remember that the photo session is about capturing your connection as a couple. Keep the atmosphere relaxed and enjoy the time spent together.

Think About Colors:

• Choose complementary colors for your outfits. Consider the surroundings and choose colors that will stand out without clashing with the environment.

• Consider the Season: Adjust your color palette to match the season, for example, warmer tones for fall and winter. Red, white, and gold invoke a Christmasy look, as well as green, silver, and beige.

Stay Natural:

• Encourage Candid Moments: Some of the most genuine and beautiful shots come from candid moments. Engage in natural interactions; don’t look straight into the lens. Even better, try to forget about the camera and do various Christmas activities — decorate the tree, bake cookies, or wrap presents.
• Be Yourselves: Don't feel pressured to pose in ways that don't feel natural. Be authentic, and let your personalities shine through.

Use Different Decorations:

Incorporate Props: Bring along props that have personal significance or add a festive touch. This could include items like a blanket, a bouquet of flowers, or even a chalkboard with a meaningful message.

Set Up with Useful Gadgets:

• Remote shutter release

• Tripod for your phone/camera

• Selfie stick

• Christmas props
