Fireplace

Snap a photo of yourself getting cozy by the fireplace – solo or with loved ones. Glam up the setting with a glass of wine or warm cup of tea.

Candles

On their own, or as part of a themed flatlay – candles can make a really beautiful photo.

Hot Chocolate

Making some hot chocolate bombs with the kids? Take advantage of this opportunity and snap a few photos (or a quick video) along with your go-to Winter or holiday mugs.

Sweaters

It’s sweater weather. Take a few pics of your warmest knits and fleece. Stack ’em, hang ’em, or wear ’em – then add a warm filter for a slight rustic look.

Sock & Slippers

Warm feet = a warm heart. Right?! Regardless, Winter is all about staying warm and toasty. Post a pic of your tootsies by the fire, playing with the kids, or even sweeping the kitchen floor!

Reading

“Baby, it’s cold out there! So I’m gonna stay inside and curl up with a book.” Capture that cozy moment and share it with your followers.

Outdoor Photo Ideas. Let’s brave the weather!

Snowy Landscape

A local historic building, an old abandoned barn, or even a garden shed looks breathtaking under a fresh blanket of snow. Make a point to go for a walk around town (wherever you live) after a fresh snowfall and snap a few pics.

Trees

Capturing Winter tree photos can be done in your own back yard! The heavy layer of snow on your evergreens or the glistening flakes covering your rosebush. Plus try taking a selfie in the trees!

Parks

Kids playing at the park is one thing – playing at the park in the Winter is quite another. Bundle the whole family up for an impromptu family photo shoot! A tripod is super helpful for something like this in order to ensure the whole family are in the photos – even mom.

Throw Snow in the Air

Fall’s leaf throwing trend, but with snow! Simple, classic, and fun!

Trails

Most trails are still accessible during the Winter months, so why not venture out for a Winter walk?! But bring your phone or camera along with you. Seize the opportunity to snap a pic of your new Winter boots, or the kids’ snowsuits.

Snow-Covered Roads

Heading out for a walk or drive can yield some amazing shots. Travel down some lesser traveled side roads for a chance at some pristine snowfall conditions.

Show off an Outfit in the Snow

Get dressed up (or dressed down) and head outside for some magical photos. Don’t forget your cold weather accessories and try an aerial vantage point to capture your ‘fit.

Christmas Photo Ideas

Here are a few festive photo prompts to capture this upcoming holiday season. How many will you try?!

Christmas Shopping

At the mall or a local small business, gift ideas and shopping bags – post it all! Holiday shopping is also a great opportunity for a video or for some engaging stories.

Presents

Whether you’re wrapping gifts or placing them under the tree, holding a little present or exchanging gifts with a friend – capture it! And remember, never strive for the perfect pic. Sometimes the goofy or candid photos mean the most.

More Snow

Catch a snowy hayride, make a snowman, and bask in the beauty of your Christmas light display glowing in the fresh snow. Or try your hand at capturing a snowy vignette through your window!

Deck the Halls

Folks will be donning their homes for the holiday season very soon – if they haven’t already done so. Whether you’re trimming the tree, adding greenery to your front porch, or hanging your stockings – keep your camera or phone handy to snap a few pics.

Plus, don’t forget to capture the family’s matching holiday pajamas while you curl up together to watch your favourite Christmas flick. Savour the moments, make lasting memories, and create new traditions.
