1 Take a photo of the members of the entire family

2 Shoot the baby in a simple DIY studio

Take great photos of babies and children with a little professional studio. Let the child sit in front of the Christmas tree or a string of lights.Then you can focus on creating ambient light, using light bulbs, string lights or natural window lights. The background lights will create a beautiful Christmas bokeh. If you want to make the bokeh more prominent, make sure there is no extra backlight in the background.


3 Shoot holiday self-portraits
Take a few photos of yourself for your vacation.
Self-portraits are an amazing way to decompress and find inspiration in simplicity. You don't need to dress like Santa Claus, and you don't need to freeze outdoors to take interesting photos.
You can wear your favorite sweater and pose next to your Christmas tree or family members.
4 Capture the atmosphere of Christmas indoors
Portrait photography is not the only type you have to take a photo during the holidays. You can zoom out and take photos of various rooms, stockings, dining and packed gifts.
You can also shoot different times of the day. What does the living room look like before everyone opens the gift? What is the atmosphere when everyone gathers to watch a Christmas movie at the end of the day?
These details may not matter now, but they will bring you memories and laughter in the future! All you have to do is save them by image.
