Awkward Christmas in July Photoshoot in Brisbane
If you've ever wondered what would happen if you mixed Christmas, oversized glasses of wine, a clingy child, and a mum who has completely lost the plot... this is it.
This recent Awkward Christmas in July photoshoot in our Thornlands studio was everything I love about these sessions. Completely over-the-top, delightfully cringey, and guaranteed to make you laugh every time you look back at the photos.
Christmas in July... but make it awkward.
There's something magical about Christmas traditions—but there's also something hilarious about turning those traditions upside down.
For this session, Amy and her daughter embraced the chaos with matching outfits, dramatic facial expressions, and plenty of awkward posing. The result? A gallery full of genuine laughter, ridiculous moments, and photos that tell a story far more memorable than everyone standing perfectly still and smiling.
Why awkward family photos are becoming so popular
Traditional family portraits will always have their place, but more families are choosing awkward family photoshoots because they're simply more fun.
When you're pulling ridiculous faces, acting out silly scenarios and embracing the cringe, everyone relaxes. Kids love being allowed to be goofy, parents stop worrying about looking perfect, and the photos become something you'll genuinely enjoy looking back on. Years from now, these are the images that will make everyone laugh the hardest.
A Christmas photoshoot that's anything but ordinary
If you're looking for a Christmas photoshoot in Brisbane that's different from the usual shopping centre Santa photos, an Awkward Christmas Photoshoot is the perfect alternative.
Think:
- Fake festive family drama
- Terrible Christmas jumpers
- Ridiculously awkward poses
- Over-the-top facial expressions
- Props that make absolutely no sense
- Plenty of laughs from start to finish
No modelling experience required—being awkward is actually the goal!
Creating memories that make people laugh
One of my favourite things about photographing these sessions is watching people arrive saying, "We're going to be so bad at this." Ten minutes later, they're completely committed to the characters, making the funniest expressions imaginable and creating memories they'll be talking about for years.
Amy and her daughter absolutely nailed it. Their personalities shone through, and together they created a bunch of images that gets funnier every time you see it.
