A Christmas photoshoot at home in Pembrokeshire

There is something quietly magical about Christmas at home, it is not just the tree or the twinkling lights, it is the feeling, the warmth, the way your home holds your memories, that is why in home Christmas photoshoots have such a special kind of beauty, they capture the season exactly as it is lived.

Your home is your space

Every detail is your own. From the personalised stockings, to the baubles you’ve gotten down from the attic year after year. An in home Christmas photoshoot is not about perfection, it is about authenticity, your sofa where stories are read, the kitchen where little hands sneak chocolates, the hallway where coats are piled after winter walks, these are the places where your family Christmas story unfolds. It all tells your unique story.

How it feels

Photographing your family in your own space means your images do not just show how you looked, they show how it felt, years from now those familiar corners will be just as meaningful as the faces in the photographs.

Real moments

When everyone is at home something lovely happens, shoulders drop, laughter comes more easily, children act like themselves, there is no pressure to perform or behave a certain way, toddlers can take breaks, babies can feed, older children can simply be, that comfort translates beautifully into photographs, natural smiles, genuine connection and moments that feel real rather than posed.

Choose an activity that feels right for you.

Read a story, build a ginger bread house or maybe decorate the tree? Incorporate a fun activity that reminds you of these years. I promise when the calendar rolls around another year, you’ll already be wondering where that time went.

In home Christmas photographs grow more precious with time, each year that passes you notice new layers, how small they were, how your home looked then, how that stage of life felt, these images become more than seasonal photographs, they become visual heirlooms.

At its heart an in home Christmas photoshoot is about celebrating what truly matters, togetherness warmth and the place where your family feels most like itself, because Christmas is not just a season, it is a feeling, and there is no better place to capture that feeling than at home.
