As a photographer based in the Waterloo Region and serving the surrounding areas, I’ve captured countless cherished memories, but there’s something truly magical about Holiday Portraits at Chickadee Christmas Tree Farm in Cambridge, ON! These seasonal sessions have become an annual tradition and one of my absolute favourites.

Every time I visit the tree farm, it’s like stepping into a winter wonderland, making my photographer’s heart sing. These holiday portrait sessions are pure joy, wrapped in winter magic, festive vibes, and evergreens. This year felt extra special, with families and their adorable fur babies bringing so much love and laughter that I couldn’t stop smiling behind my camera.

I’m incredibly grateful to these amazing clients and their precious pets for filling the holiday spirit with so much warmth in every heartwarming snapshot.

Chickadee Christmas Tree Farm is the Perfect Canvas

Imagine a setting so magical that it feels like a winter wonderland. The Chickadee Christmas Tree Farm offers just that—rows of lush, vibrant evergreens lightly dusted with snow and rustic log piles that add an extra layer of charm—create a stunning backdrop that makes every photo feel like it belongs on a Christmas card.

Clients often tell me they feel like they’re starring in their own Hallmark Christmas movie. And honestly? They’re not wrong. The farm’s natural beauty has a way of making everyone look and feel like the star of their own holiday story.

Furry Friends Steal the Show

This year’s sessions were particularly heartwarming, with family pets taking centre stage. There’s nothing quite like capturing the pure joy of a family surrounded by their four-legged members. These furry friends aren’t just pets—they’re family, and they bring an extra layer of personality and charm to every portrait.

Styling Your Perfect Holiday Portrait

Choosing what to wear for your Tree Farm Portrait can be challenging. I understand. I had the same dilemma with my family’s holiday photos. So, I’ve put together my top tips for looking picture-perfect:

Colour Schemes

• Classic Festive: embrace traditional reds, greens, and golds that scream holiday spirit
• Timeless Elegance: opt for neutral tones like creams, tans, greys, and navy for a sophisticated look

Textures and Layers

Warmth meets style with:

• Cozy knits, soft flannel, luxurious velvet for warmth and depth
• Stylish coats, chunky scarves, and comfortable boots complement the look

Coordination Tips

• Choose a cohesive colour palette but avoid being too matchy, matchy
• Let individual personalities shine
• Focus on complementary looks that tell your family’s unique story

Why Tree Farm Portraits Are My Absolute Favourite

These sessions are more than just photographs. They’re time capsules of love, laughter, connection, and festive fun. Each image captures the true spirit of the holiday season—those genuine moments of joy, warmth, and family togetherness that we cherish most.

I’m already excited about next year’s sessions, and I hope you are too!
