Sleigh It with Love 

EOS M50, EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, f/5.6, 55mm, 1/8sec, ISO400

There’s something magical about this time of the year. So why not print out your favourite couple photos and transform them into something more memorable? Add Christmas touches such as a miniature sleigh, trees, and gift boxes, and use cotton balls for a snowy effect. Complete the look with fairy lights in the background to achieve beautiful bokeh against your subject.

Selfie with Mr Snowman 

EOS M50, EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, f/5.6, 55mm, 1/10sec, ISO400

Wish you were celebrating the festive season in a winter wonderland? Now you can, with this playful twist on a Christmas snow globe! Print your favourite family portrait and incorporate it with festive elements such as a mini snowman and tiny Christmas trees within a dome. No snow where you are? No problem. Create your own snow by piling up coarse/fine sugar and shine light on the ‘snow’ so that it looks more realistic. Finally, tie fairy lights around the dome to add a dreamy, festive glow to your photo.

Home for the Holidays

Create a different perspective to your festive memories by using framing. Surround your family portrait with festive decorations such as a mini wooden house, trees and ‘snow’, then shoot through a mini Christmas wreath. Don’t forget to ensure your subject is well lit by shining light on it from above.

Learn how framing adds depth and dimension to your photos with How to Frame Your Photos.
