Matching Family Pajamas, the Best Christmas Card Photos

There are so many different styles when it comes to Christmas pajamas for kids – it can be hard to narrow it down! I always love something timeless and classic, like plaid or stripes.

It doesn’t get too cold down here in Charleston, but we do love to venture to the mountains around Christmastime so flannel is always a good option. Although I like to decorate my home in more neutral tones like browns, blues, and tans during the holidays, there’s nothing more classic than red, green, and white Christmas pajamas!

We snagged my boys’ plaid pjs from Target last year and my daughter’s white nightgown from Amazon. She loved it so much that we bought it in several colors and she continues to wear them! They’re super soft and dainty. This year I’ve got my eye on several pairs for the family from Lake Pajamas, J.Crew, and Gap. If you’re looking for more budget-friendly options, I’ve had success at Target and Old Navy in years past.

Santa Photos

We do pictures with Santa every year with my go-to local photographer, Caitlyn Motycka, and they’re one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season. Caitlyn takes all of our yearly family photos too! I highly recommend taking a look in your area to see if you can find a family photographer offering these special photos. Christmas is such a magical time with little ones and I know I’ll always cherish having these keepsakes to look back on.

Accessories

Once I’ve found the perfect pajamas for our Santa pictures, I have to accessorize! For the boys, cozy slippers are a must. These Amazon slippers were a hit last year. I love the classic look of any brown suede slipper with fur and why spend a fortune on these when the kids grow so quickly! Satin slippers are so cute for little girls also and they feel so fancy. I love Wee Ones bows for my daughter (I get the large size).

Caitlyn provides these cute wooden toy props for her photo shoots, but they would be a fun gift idea if you’re planning your own photo op – it may even help convince your little ones to cooperate! Grab a basket and toss a group of wood toys in it to entertain your littles and include them in the photo shoot.

Brainstorming your own photoshoot? A simple Christmas tree with lots of natural lighting should do the trick! Take a look through some of my Christmas decor inspiration for your Christmas card photos!
