Christmas photo prop ideas and Christmas photo tips:
Remember that the Christmas photos are just as important as the templates. Dressing up in Christmas colors helps, but adding Christmas photo props makes a huge difference.
1. Try taking your photo outside by a door with a wreath on it. You’ll get a ton of natural light and a full background for your photo
2. Use a tripod, self timer and turn the flash off – you will have a crisp photo and by turning the flash off, you won’t have a shine on peoples’ faces, nor will you get heavy shadows
3. Christmas photo prop ideas: hold neatly wrapped presents, have someone holding a candycane. You can always take a photo by a Christmas tree but make sure the back wall is flat. Move the tree if you have to.
4. Stagger your people with some sitting standing, kneeling to get a fuller effect
5. add candles in front and behind your subjects. The candles give a soft natural glow and make for a nice warm and cozy Christmas lighting effect.
There are plenty of other Christmas photo tips on the web, but those ought to get you off to a good start.
Have a fabulous holiday season and merry Christmas!
