Believe it or not…it’s time to start thinking Christmas. If you are like me your Christmas card might just barely make it out before the holiday. Or it might not even get stamped until after the New Year. Well…this year I’m trying to bite that problem in the bud by starting preparation early. And that means fun Christmas Photo set ups!
Okay…this is especially good news for those of you in the Minot {Practically Canada} area. Because you’ll benefit from this. I’ll be offering Christmas mini sessions in the coming days. But I need your help. I’ve got three themes in mind and I need all of you to tell me which one you prefer. Even if you don’t live in PraCan…gimme your input anyway. Here are my inspiration boards.
Option #1: Merry & Bright
This theme is inspired by hip window displays from shops like Anthropologie and Selfridges, bright colors, and minimalist-modern props.
The photos in the upper right are from Beth Strong Photography. I love her set up!

Option #2: A Chalkboard Christmas
Pretty self explanitory. This theme is all about the chalkboard. I’ll create a full chalkboard backdrop and create a typographic/artisan vibe with my very own hand lettering. Bonus: I’ll be able to add your family name to the background.
Don’t you love that chalkboard portrait? Go check out Amy Lee Sullivan…that’s where I found it!

Option #3: The Great Outdoors
Beautiful, yes. Cold, definitely. This theme is inspired by soft colors and rustic, outdoor Christmas scenes. We’ll use cozy props like blankets and mugs and set up in the rural back roads of Minot.
I fell in love with the photos of that couple and the Christmas Tree. Go over to view the whole session at Stephanie Hunter Photography.
Oh, and that other couple is me and Der-Bear. That’s our Christmas card photo from last year.
So. Leave a comment. What do you prefer? Cast your vote. This year your Christmas card will be epic.
