The holiday season is all about creating memories you’ll cherish forever, and nothing captures that magic quite like a family Christmas photo session in Tacoma. In 2024, I had the joy of photographing a stunning family at IAMCREATIVESPACE, a unique studio that provided the perfect backdrop for a holiday session filled with elegance, warmth, and creativity. Earlier this year, I also shared Fall Family Photos in Seattle & South King County, which show how each season offers its own unique atmosphere for portraits.
The mom’s vision was inspired by Slytherin’s deep emerald green, and she pulled it off beautifully. Between their elegant holiday looks and cozy Christmas morning pajama outfits, the result was a gallery full of variety that still felt cohesive.
Why IAMCREATIVESPACE is Perfect for Holiday Photos
One of the reasons I love IAMCREATIVESPACE is the versatility of its design. Each room is styled with care, offering multiple setups in one location. From sparkling Christmas trees and lush garlands to cozy bedsides perfect for a pajama theme, the space makes it easy to create a gallery that feels complete and intentional.
No two angles look the same, which means every photo is unique while still tying together as one beautiful holiday story.
For this family, we used both the glamorous setups with glittering décor and the relaxed scenes designed to feel like Christmas morning. The mix of elegant and casual gave them photos they’ll treasure for years, reflecting both the beauty and the coziness of the season.
Planning Your Own Christmas Photo Session
This Tacoma Christmas family photo session at IAMCREATIVESPACE was the perfect mix of elegance and cozy holiday magic. With its beautifully styled rooms and variety of backdrops, it gave us everything from formal, Slytherin-inspired elegance to playful Christmas morning vibes.
It’s one of my favorite studios for families who want a polished, storybook holiday gallery. For clients who dream of this type of session, IAMCREATIVESPACE can be rented for your family Christmas photos. (Studio rental fee is paid by the client.)
For families who prefer an outdoor backdrop, I’ll also be hosting 2025 Christmas Mini Sessions in Seattle and Tacoma. These outdoor minis will be perfect for families, couples, and individuals who want timeless holiday photos with a natural, seasonal feel. ✨ Details will be announced soon. Check back for updates or follow along on Instagram @rochelle.mariephotography for first access to booking. Sessions like my Redondo Beach Graduation Photos or Flaming Geyser Motherhood Session show how natural backdrops can be just as timeless as a styled studio.
Photography isn’t just about the holidays. It’s about capturing milestones and memories that matter most to families. Earlier this year, I had the honor of photographing a beautiful Annaprashana ceremony in Everett, a cultural celebration filled with love and tradition. Whether it’s Christmas, cultural events, or everyday family milestones, these are the moments that deserve to be remembered.
