What to Wear for Your Golden Pines Holiday Session
The Golden Pines Holiday Set
The Golden Pines Holiday Set features soft greens, warm beige tones, and gentle wooden textures. The look feels cozy, classic, and softly nostalgic, like a muted golden Christmas that brings warmth without strong yellow light.
We use soft studio lighting to keep colors natural and flattering, with a few fairy lights in little jars adding a quiet holiday sparkle.
This set feels timeless and heartfelt. Choose clothing that looks comfortable and natural within this palette, such as textured knits, light layers, and neutral fabrics that complement each other beautifully in photographs.
Keep your family coordinated, not matching. Pick two or three tones that complement each other and stay within that range for everyone. Small touches of green or red blend beautifully when paired with beige, cream, or muted gold for a festive yet classic look.

Tips for Stress-Free Styling
Mix textures and stay within one color palette for a balanced family look.
If one person wears a bolder tone, let others wear lighter complementary shades.
Keep patterns simple and soft. Small checks, subtle plaid, or gentle textures work best.
Avoid neon tones or large logos that can distract from your family connection.
Add warmth through texture instead of heavy layers.
Stay true to your family’s personality. Comfort always photographs better than stiffness.
Choose natural fabrics such as linen, cotton, and knit to keep photos warm, cohesive, and timeless.
Golden Pines is designed to feel timeless and heartfelt. Choose soft tones and natural textures that reflect your family’s style.
