Christmas Cards are a must have for the holiday season and there's nothing more fun than having a unique backdrop! Our 1978 VW Bus makes a perfect backdrop for Christmas fun. We offer Christmas mini sessions with Juniper, but of course we know not everyone is local. We are in the business of making people happy and we want to share our favorite tips, tricks, and decor items to make your own Christmas fun! Whether you have a vintage vehicle or just some space in your yard, you can make the magic happen!
First things first, a cozy carpet! A Cozy carpet (or 2 or 3) is a great way to create a space for your photos! The one we have is no longer available, but here is a similar option from Amazon that we love.
Another great option for your base is blankets! We use a combo of rugs, blankets, and other similar items for our decor to make the space cozy and fun. We go for a mix of neutrals, patterns, and textures.
Here are some of our favorites!

Next step, pillows...all the pillows! When in doubt, more pillows is always the answer. At least that's the motto I live by. Pro tip: use the pillows you already have around the house and just get pillow covers for each season. We also have stuffed pillows with blankets and t-shirts!

Now it's time to get the Christmas Greenery! If you don't have a backdrop like a vehicle or wooded area for your photos, you can create one with Christmas Trees. We have collected trees over the years and we like to use a combination of sizes. We don't have the exact link for all of the trees and greenery you see in our photos, but if we were starting from scratch, this is what we would get.
