🎄 Why OC Families Should Book Christmas Photos in July

Yes, Christmas in July is a thing—and for Orange County families, it’s the smartest way to get ahead of the holiday chaos.

At Blue Skys Studio, we believe the best time to plan your family’s holiday portraits is now—while the sun is shining, the kids are out of school, and your calendar isn’t already packed with holiday parties, gift shopping, and school events.

Here’s why savvy OC families are getting their portraits done early—and how our Christmas in July Special makes it fun, easy, and stress-free.

☀️ 1. Avoid the Holiday Rush

Fall and winter get busy fast. Between back-to-school, sports, travel, and the holidays, scheduling anything for your family becomes nearly impossible.

Booking your session in July gives you the flexibility to choose the perfect day, time, and location—before our calendar fills up with last-minute bookings.

🌤️ 2. Take Advantage of Perfect Weather

Let’s face it—July in Orange County is gorgeous. Golden sunlight, warm evenings, and vibrant greenery make it the ideal time for glowing, natural family portraits.

Unlike December, you don’t have to deal with chilly winds, rain delays, or gloomy skies.

 

🌿 3. Nature Looks Its Best

From Laguna Canyon’s wildflowers to golden hour light along the Newport Beach coast, summer showcases the best of OC’s natural beauty.

Whether you want ocean views, a tree-lined park, or a rustic field, we’ll help you choose the perfect backdrop.
