As a portrait photographer, I’m always looking for new props that don’t cost a fortune – especially when the holidays roll around. Last year, I bought a can of cheap spray snow, a vintage window from Facebook Marketplace, and I used it to frame cozy Christmas portraits.
I was looking for two key things when I created this Christmas photo setup. First, I wanted to take Christmas photos indoors after the previous year’s freezing temperatures made my holiday sessions a bit miserable. Second, I wanted to give families with young kids something to do besides sit and smile at the camera.
