Baby's first holiday photo ideas

By Stick'Nsnap · About · Updated October 26, 2026

You can keep the month photo and add the holiday in the same picture.

Use this month's sticker. Add one or two props. Leave the face clear.

How do you fold a holiday into the month photo?

The sticker is the month. If October is month 4, use the month 4 sticker. The pumpkin, the table, or the tree shows the holiday. Later, you can still tell this picture from the other months.

Take it in the daytime, by a window, with the light from the side. Turn the flash off.

Any of our three necktie sets works. Compare them on onesie stickers.

What works for a first Halloween?

A soft hat or a pair of ears is enough. A plain orange or black onesie works too.

• This month, and a pumpkin.
• One hat. This month's sticker.
• October, and the month we are in.

Set a small whole pumpkin on the floor beside them. Don't carve it. Don't put a candle in it. Don't put it in their lap if they grab and drop. Baby's first Halloween photo ideas stays on that setup.

What works for a first Thanksgiving?

Keep the onesie plain. A small gourd or a folded napkin on the floor is enough color. You do not need the whole table in the frame.

• This month at home.
• A quiet table, and this month's sticker.
• Grateful, in the month we are in.

Baby's first Thanksgiving photo ideas covers the floor setup in more detail.

What works for a first Christmas?

Use the same window. One ornament, or a short sprig of greenery, can sit on the floor. Leave the tree lights off so the face stays easy to see.

• This month, and a quiet tree.
• December, sticker on.
• One ornament. This month's photo.

A winter photo can be the same picture with the coat off and the window light a little cooler. Baby's first Christmas photo ideas stays with the tree and the onesie. Christmas card ideas with a new baby is the card you send from that photo. Visiting Santa? Baby's first photo with Santa covers when to go and what to wear. Lighting candles that week? Baby's first Hanukkah photo ideas keeps the menorah unlit and out of reach.

Filling a first stocking? Stocking stuffers for a baby covers what goes in and what stays out.

What works for a first New Year?

Take it in the daytime on January 1, with this month's sticker. Baby's first New Year photo ideas stays on that setup.

What works for a first Valentine's Day?

One heart in the background, and this month's sticker. Baby's first Valentine's Day photo ideas stays on that setup.

Which props stay out of the way?

Put props on the floor, not at their mouth. Leave the nose and mouth clear. Don't use a mask. Stay close enough to reach them. For a young baby, the photo is on the back, on a flat spot at floor level.
