Are you looking to have holiday family pictures taken at a Christmas tree farm or some inspiration for a DIY session? You’re in the right place.

Whether for holiday cards or to update family photos, Christmas tree farm family sessions are super fun, and doing it annually is a great family tradition that many of my clients enjoy.

However, getting ready for the session could be a hassle, especially if you’ve never done it before. In this guide, I’ve included a collection of sample photos from several of my Christmas tree farm family sessions for outfit ideas and posing suggestions. (Of course, when you book with me, I’ll guide you through all the poses.)

I’ve also provided some tips and recommendations to help you have a great experience and get beautiful family photos you will be proud of.

Styling Your Outfits

Opt for warm, cozy winter layers in rich earth tones paired with closed-toe boots. Add festive accents like hats with pom poms and scarfs with traditional holiday textures to complement the natural backdrop without looking over the top. Focus on timeless winter fashion that keeps you comfortable while evoking the seasonal spirit.

My recommended color palettes for Christmas tree farm photos are:

Layering clothes is a great way to dress kids. You can add jackets, vests, leggings, tights, hats, scarves, neckties, bow ties, and headbands for a stylish look.

For adults, adding accessories such as hats, scarves, or necklaces can add vibrancy to an outfit. Small doses of bright colors work well.

Make sure everyone’s outfit fits well and is neatly pressed.

I also recommend wearing appropriate footwear. Grass can get pretty wet and muddy, so opt for weather-proof shoes and boots when possible.
