Best Christmas card photo shoot ideas for active little kids.

Milk and cookies

A classic christmas card mini session. All you need is a couple of hungry kids and have a nice scene and you’ve got a classic photo christmas card, and better still, the kids love it. 

There’s typically two approaches to this one. The light and creamy bedspread with yummy milk bottles, with red and green accents or the darker moodier sneak peak. 

Christmas Baking

Why not make a morning of it and bake those all important cookies prior to the milk and cookies shoot. Have fun getting messy and decorating Christmas cookies.

Family Snuggles

One of my personal favorites, that allows you to snuggle up, watch a movie if you need to keep those little ones busy and enjoy some quiet time. This obviously works better around nap time or later in the day. When you can get comfy in pajamas and curl up. 

Pj’s (matching or not)

Or Sweet Kisses

Sibling love

All siblings have their moments; the good, the bad and the ugly. But there’s always a special moment that makes it all worth while. Those moments tend to come when you don’t expect them too. So allow them the time and space to have them. Reading a book in bed is a personal favourite of mine.

Christmas Hot Drink

Everyone should curl up with a hot cuppa at some point over the holidays, or even a chocolate milk shake for the kids.

Christmas Lights

I love the twinkle of Christmas Lights and who doesn’t love playing with them too. I love this Christmas card idea for those who want a little bit of magic in

Christmas Tree cards

Document the holidays by capturing all the festive decorations.

Funny Christmas photo ideas

Pet photo Christmas cards

The holidays aren’t the same without our furry friends, and just like the kids they have magical powers to be super cute when they need to.

Whatever Christmas card photo shoots ideas you consider, make sure you start early enough to make sure you have plenty of time for the shoot, time for printing and sending them out ideally before Dec 9th.
