Okay, but can we talk about how cute these little faces look on the Christmas set?! ❤️

One of my favorite parts of setting up a backdrop is getting to see it come to life once the kids are actually in it. The little expressions, the personalities, the smiles (and sometimes the serious faces, too!).

That's what I want these Christmas photos to capture. Not just a pretty holiday picture, but your kids being exactly who they are right now.

🎄❤️ THE LONG-AWAITED CHRISTMAS SET REVEAL! 🎄❤️

I finally finished it yesterday!! And I couldn't resist grabbing a few of my favorite little models to sit for me and let me see how everything came together.

I've been working on this little setup for a while, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you!

Christmas Minis are coming up at Baby Blooms HD in LaSalle, and I still have a few spots available on November 28 and December 12!

November 14 is almost full, so if one of the other dates works better for your family, now is a good time to grab your spot.

🎄❤️ A little Christmas creativity happening over here! 🎄❤️

I've been making some Christmas headbands for the upcoming sessions, and I'm having way too much fun with all the little details!

I'll have these on hand at Christmas Minis for anyone who wants to use them! They're all made with elastic tie-backs, so they can fit newborns all the way up to kids. A few are even big enough for adults, too! So if you'd like to use one during your session, just let me know when you arrive. I will have them on my trolley!

I love adding these little personal handmade touches to make the sessions extra special. I can't wait to see these on your kiddos! ❤️

Still figuring out what everyone should wear for Christmas pictures?

Don't overcomplicate it! Pick a few coordinating colors, mix in some textures and patterns, and choose outfits everyone feels comfortable in. They don't all have to match!

I put together an Amazon shopping list with pieces similar to the example outfits I've shared, plus so much more! I chose colors, textures, and patterns that I think will look beautiful with this year's Christmas set. Many of these pieces are also cozy enough to wear for other holiday gatherings and occasions!

Okay, I've been working on our family Christmas outfits and decided to try something a little different! 🎄

I uploaded screenshots of my Amazon cart into ChatGPT and asked it to help me put together some outfit combinations using the things I was already considering buying.

And this is what it came up with!

What do you think?! I actually think some of these combinations are so cute!

A little side note on AI… I know it's a pretty hot topic, and I'm not trying to start a debate or convince anyone to feel one way or another about it.

For me, I've found it to be such a helpful tool.

My brain is VERY visual and VERY creative. I can see a million different possibilities and combinations, which is fun… until I start getting overwhelmed trying to sort through all of them. 😂

Being able to put my ideas into something visual, compare options, and get a little help organizing my thoughts has been such a time saver.

I don't see AI disappearing anytime soon, so I'm more interested in learning how to use it in practical ways that help me plan, get things done, and take a few things off my mental to-do list.

Anyway… back to the important question: WHICH OUTFIT COMBINATION IS YOUR FAVORITE?! ❤️

Well, someone was VERY ready for her close-up Tuesday night. 😂

Sissy wasn't exactly the one we planned on photographing, but she clearly had other ideas!

Big sis was having a hard time getting into the photo-taking mood (we've all been there), while little sis was more than happy to step in and show us how it's done.

And just look at her! Those big blue eyes and those cheeks. What a little pumpkin. 🧡

Pretty sure she stole the show… and I'm not even mad about it. These are too cute not to share!
