Every year when the holidays roll around, I get excited to pull out my camera at Jane Osler Photography—not for elaborate props or staged backdrops, but for the people in front of it. Holiday family photos don’t need a ton of props to make them magical. They’re about capturing connection, laughter, and the little in-between moments that families will treasure for years.
When I photograph holiday family sessions, my focus is simple: real families, real love, and real memories. Whether it’s siblings giggling during a hug, parents sneaking a smile across the room, or parents soaking in time with the kids, those are the moments that tell the story of your holiday season.
What I Love Most about holiday family photos
Some of my favorite holiday photos from recent sessions show:
- Families curled up by a fireplace or at a tree farm.
- A boy and his dog.
- A family sitting at the park.
- A entire family sporting their school logo.

From Family Photo to Card—Without the Stress
Here’s the best part: once we’ve created those beautiful family photos, turning them into your holiday card is completely stress-free. No more late nights clicking through dozens of websites, trying to drag-and-drop your photo into a clunky template, or fighting with confusing design tools.
I take care of the entire process for you—from helping you choose the right photo to designing a card that feels polished, personal, and totally “you.” That way, your holiday cards are done without the hassle, and you get to spend more time on what matters most—actually enjoying the season with your family.
The Perfect Holiday Photo Card Starts with Heart
When these photos end up on holiday cards, they feel warm and genuine. They aren’t just pretty pictures; they’re snapshots of a family’s story at this exact moment in time. And that’s something worth sharing with the people you love.
So this holiday season, skip the props, embrace the imperfections, and let your family’s joy shine through. Because years from now, you won’t remember the staged backdrop—you’ll remember the way your little one held your hand or the way your whole family laughed until your cheeks hurt.
