Even though your phone is full of photos of your kids, it never hurts to have more. Photographs are one of the best ways to capture holiday memories that will last a lifetime. The right shot and outfit are paramount for at-home snaps, but it can be tricky to wrangle little ones. To help you cross “stress about holiday photos and looks” off your list, we gathered professional tips and some of our favourite holiday-inspired styles from Carter’s | Oshkosh. Read on to learn how to capture the moments that matter with looks that won’t quit.

Don’t be afraid to work your angles. Take advantage of a tripod, or stand on the couch or a chair to get the perfect shot. And no flash! Using flash will create a harsh effect.
