Sometimes, a single outfit and a spectacular location are all you need for magic to happen. This past week, I had the pleasure of shooting with Makaria at a local light festival, and wow, the results speak for themselves!
The Setup
The festive glow of Christmas lights created the perfect backdrop for this shoot. The warm, golden hues contrasted beautifully with Makaria’s chic black lace top and denim skirt combo, giving the photos a mix of holiday warmth and edgy flair.
Makaria’s Confidence
Makaria absolutely shined in front of the camera. Her poise and confidence brought every shot to life, making it easy to capture her personality against the dazzling lights. Whether it was her striking gaze or the subtle way she played with the mood of the scene, every frame felt like a story.
A Special Thanks
A big shoutout to Makaria’s mom, who was not only supportive but also instrumental in making this shoot happen.
Why I Love Holiday Shoots
There’s something special about combining the glow of Christmas lights with portrait photography. The bokeh effect from the lights adds such a dreamy, festive feel, creating images that are both vibrant and timeless.
