Capturing Nostalgia and Holiday Cheer with a Retro Twist
When Bri reached out to me with an exciting challenge—a 90s-themed Christmas session—I couldn’t resist! Transforming my living room into a cozy living room straight out of the 90s was such a nostalgic and creative project. From the engagement session that started it all to capturing moments with their now two beautiful daughters, Bri and Rafa have become more than clients—they’re family.
To set the scene, I transformed my living room into a perfect 90s holiday space. Picture colorful Christmas lights wrapped around a tree covered in tinsel, shiny ornaments, and a backdrop of rich velvet curtains. The highlight of the setup? A vintage 90s TV and a Nintendo 64, pulled straight from storage. It felt like bringing a piece of holiday history back to life.
Bri and Rafa nailed the 90s vibe with their wardrobe choices! Their daughters wore the cutest burgundy velvet dresses, adorned with bows, black tights, and all the holiday charm you could ask for. Rafa’s beige turtleneck sweater paired with beige bottoms and a black jacket screamed vintage elegance. Bri completed the look with a chic black sweater trimmed in fur, a mini skirt, and tights that tied the whole retro aesthetic together.
We started with classic family poses, but it wasn’t long before the real fun began. Before even picking up the Nintendo 64 controllers, Vivi got into her own groove, rocking and rolling with gestures that instantly reminded me of her dad. It’s amazing how much she mirrors him, even when he’s not doing it himself—she’s such a daddy’s girl!
Once the gaming started, it brought back all the nostalgic vibes. Remember when your older sibling handed you an unplugged controller, and you thought you were playing? That wasn’t going to work on Vivi! Kids today are so sharp, and she immediately knew she wasn’t in control.
This session was unique, personal, and so much fun to create. It showed me how meaningful it can be to bring a client’s vision to life. If you have a theme or idea in mind for your own family session, let’s make it happen! Together, we can create photos that are as unique and special as your family.
Bri and Rafa’s 90s Christmas session is a perfect reminder of the magic of nostalgia and the joy of capturing life’s special moments. Ready to turn your vision into a reality? Let’s chat and bring your dream session to life!
