Evergreen Tree Farm:

Evergreens are beautiful trees, especially in the winter months when everything else is starting to turn brown and fade away. You can always knock out two birds with one stone by taking pretty pictures at the tree farm while you’re shopping for your Christmas tree.

A hi-low dress design, like our Valentina dress, would go perfectly with the occasion. The low design of the dress will make it easier to trek through the outdoor tree farm while still giving your little one a beautiful train that’ll look stunning in the fields. The red will contrast all of the green amazingly and give off strong Christmas vibes. Pair with our red shoes for a beautiful head-to-toe look.

Snow:

If you’re lucky enough to have a beautiful snow before the holidays, take advantage and have a photoshoot! You can make a snowman to take pictures with, take pictures making snow angels, or just take a traditional picture with a beautiful white backdrop. 

The Amaira dress is a perfect contrast to the snow, and will stand out beautifully in winter pictures! The green of the dress will look amazing against the stark white of the snowfall, while also still complimenting the evergreen foliage that’s still giving the scene some color. Pair this dress with our Vivi black and gold shoes to bring out the gold in the dress. You can also always add stockings for warmth at this icy photoshoot.

Our Cassandra dress is perfectly festive for this Fall-themed photoshoot. The black dress with beautiful gold detailing will match the traditionally spooky vibes of Halloween, while also still being elegant and not too Halloween-esque to fit the entire season. Black and orange just look great together, and this dress is no exception to the rule. Pair with our Gjergjani MJ 05-06 shoes for a flawless black-and-gold look.

Fallen Leaves:

Another great Fall-themed photoshoot is one with falling and fallen leaves. You can make leaf piles in the yard for a great backdrop and even have your little one play in the leaves for cute Fall themed photos.

Our Sakura dress will look amazing at this fallen leaves photoshoot! The black in the dress is a great compliment to the Fall colors in the leaves while the pink satin will add a bit of extra color to the photoshoot and really stand out while complimenting the leaves. Plus the tree detailing in the bodice of this dress will look amazing with the trees in your fallen leaves photoshoot. Pair this dress with our Alba 65 shoes in black for a prim yet festive look.
