When you imagine an epic holiday card, what do you imagine? What goes into the kind of holiday card that gets hung on the refrigerator door for months to come? What about the holiday cards that get framed and saved for years to come? Well. Whatever it is that you imagine, the Beeson family is going to raise that bar! I loved collaborating with them to create their holiday card this year at the Indy Family Photo Studio!

Family Photography | Truly Epic Holiday Cards

Every year, the Beeson family makes it a point to create THE Christmas card to beat! Their goal is to create something truly memorable… dare I say, epic. A good holiday card should make you smile, let out a good chuckle, and get excited about the holiday season. But what makes the best holiday cards are ones that remind you of their personalities and why you love them.

For this year’s holiday card photo shoot, the Beeson family took on a fun election theme. Mom and Dad, along with the three kiddos Sophia, James and Jacob all brought their personalities and creative ideas to their photo session at the Indy Family Photo Studio! Dad is an ER surgeon, so we tied that into his campaign slogan. We did some research for James’ campaign promises. We found out that there is such a thing as a state beverage…. Apparently, Indiana’s is water?! Milk is clearly a better choice, so James has my vote. Sophia was going for a Ruth Bader Ginsberg vibe, so she donned a smart pantsuit and every political and Christmas brooch she could find! I loved how everyone’s wit and humor was evident in their portraits.

When the finished products arrived, their holiday card order weighed in at a whopping 17.7 pounds!!! They really went all the way, decking out the holiday cards with every last detail: from gold envelope liners to (of course) American flag stamps.

Thank you very much to the Beeson family for including me in your holiday fun. I loved photographing you for this truly amazing holiday card, and I can’t wait to see what you think up for next year!
