Outdoor Christmas Family Photos at Home | The Mattern Family

Holiday Family Photos at Home

When it comes to Christmas portraits, you don’t always need a studio. The Mattern family invited me to their home, where outdoor décor and three generations came together for a cozy, unique holiday photo session.

The Mattern Family’s Holiday Gathering

This session included Cassie, Don, and their two girls, joined by Aunt Stephanie, plus Grandpa and Grandma. We captured the whole family together, plus smaller combinations: sibling portraits, parents with kids, and grandparents with the grandkids.

Outdoor Christmas Décor as the Backdrop

The family went all out on outdoor holiday décor, and if you’re going to spend time decorating everything… shouldn’t you consider documenting that?

Why At-Home Christmas Sessions Work

Choosing your own home for holiday photos adds comfort and meaning. Kids relax in their own space, no one has to travel far, and the photos reflect your family’s story. For anyone who loves decorating, at-home sessions let your hard work shine.

Thinking About Your Own Holiday Photos?

While this family’s session wasn’t in Austin, I love bringing the same cozy, personalized feel to my Christmas sessions here. Whether you want an in-studio holiday setup or outdoor family portraits at home, I can help you capture the joy of the season. Learn more about Austin Christmas family photos here →
