If you know any photographers, you know fall and leading up to the holidays is a very busy time… and I love it! Along with the busy season, photographing so many gorgeous families can start to feel like old hat. That is why I love doing a Countdown to Christmas series so I can keep my creative juices flowing and celebrate the holidays with my social media followers.
I began the Countdown to Christmas through photography series in 2022 with a 12 Days of Christmas theme. It seemed fitting for my first year to reimagine the iconic song through photographs setting the scene of the lyrics from the different days. This first year was such a blast that I continued into the second year featuring a variety of songs.

This is now my third year doing the Countdown to Christmas and my biggest project yet: The 12 Princess of Christmas! Inspired by princess dresses from Presley Couture, I added shawls and capes and jackets so the princess photos gave the essence of the winter season. The true challenge was coming up with how to set each scene for the different princesses and what was iconic to each of them.
