A fun way to celebrate the arrival of the Christmas season is to visit a local photo studio to have a photographer shoot some portrait shots of your children. You can use these images in a number of ways, including sharing them on social media and distributing them with your Christmas cards. Given the season, you'll want to choose an appropriate backdrop for the photos. Studios often have a wide range of options, and you and your kids will enjoy perusing the backdrops and deciding on one that you love. Here are three ideas for kid photo backdrops that may appeal to you.
Christmas Fireplace
A popular photo backdrop for portraits around the holidays is the image of a fireplace that has been decked out in Christmas cheer. The image will commonly feature a selection of stockings hanging from the mantel above the fireplace, and there will also be depictions of other Christmas-related elements—including lights, hanging decorations, and more. Of course, the fireplace will appear as though it has a roaring fire in it, which can add a warm quality to the entire photoshoot.
Santa's Sleigh
Another photo backdrop design that you may encounter is a picture of Santa's sleigh. For kids of a certain age, the idea of posing in front of this image can be very exciting. Typically, the sleigh will be parked in a snowy area and be brimming with presents that are ready for Santa to distribute to children around the world. This backdrop can work well if you want to have props in your photoshoot. For example, you can have each of your children hold a wrapped gift, which will tie into the backdrop. If you want to get really creative by using costumes, dressing your kids as elves will make it seem as though they're helping to load the sleigh.
Snowy Scene
You'll also find a selection of Christmas photo backdrops that feature depictions of snowy scenes. For example, you might find a backdrop that has an evergreen tree covered in lights and standing in a snowy field. Or, you might find something that has a traditional look, such as a snowy barn with a simple Christmas wreath hanging on the door. Some studios can offer props that can support the snowy look, including white blankets on the floor that can make it seem as though your children are standing in some freshly fallen snow. Learn more about your backdrop options by contacting a local photo studio.
