Kimberley The Most Memorable Holiday Session
When my brother and his girlfriend visited me in Tampa for the holidays, I knew I wanted to create something unforgettable. I’ve always believed in the power of photography to preserve special moments. This session was no exception—it combined nostalgia, humor, and a personal touch to give our mom the perfect holiday gift.
The idea? A throwback to the iconic, hilariously awkward JcPenney portraits from the 80s. You know the ones: stiff poses, exaggerated smiles, and a charm that makes them both cringe-worthy and endearing. I’d been dreaming of recreating this theme for years, and I couldn’t have asked for two better people to bring it to life!
Why This Session Was Special
This wasn’t just another photo session—it was a celebration of family, laughter, and love. My brother and his girlfriend were all in, embracing the quirky theme with enthusiasm and humor. Beyond the fun, the session held a deeper purpose: to create a heartfelt surprise for our mom.
As a photographer, I always emphasize the importance of preserving memories. Life moves so fast, and having these moments captured forever is truly priceless. This session reminded me of why I’m so passionate about what I do.
The Session: Laughs, Poses, and Priceless Memories
The energy during the session was electric! We started with the classic JcPenney vibes—awkward poses, stiff smiles, and dramatic angles. The goal was to lean into the nostalgia while having as much fun as possible.
I set up my studio with simple but effective lighting to give the photos a vintage feel. Throughout the shoot, we couldn’t stop laughing. Every exaggerated expression and over-the-top pose had us cracking up, making the experience as memorable as the final images.
After wrapping up their session, I jumped in for a few group shots. These family moments were just as playful and will undoubtedly bring a smile to our mom’s face for years to come.
