1. Go for a Santa’s workshop feel

What better place for an indoor Christmas photoshoot than inside Santa’s workshop! This entire Peerspace home is decorated in a Christmas theme but one out favorite rooms is the room set up to look like Santa’s workshop! It features two comfy chairs for Mr. and Mrs. Claus, a beautiful wooden horse, a Christmas tree, and many other priceless Christmas decorations. This California lakefront home is absolutely ideal for a Christmas themed photoshoot!

2. Brighten up your shoot with natural light

For a truly stunning indoor Christmas photoshoot, you are going to want plenty of natural light. Luckily, on Peerspace, it’s easy to find bright and beautiful spaces no matter where you live in the U.S., Canada, or the U.K.

Take this Toronto, Canada, event space, for example! It comes with 13 foot ceilings, massive south and west facing windows, and fabulous amenities — like 9 foot backdrop stands, ring lights, and even a stunning archway!

3. Focus on life’s greatest gifts

A fabulous indoor Christmas photoshoot idea is to center the photoshoot around your little ones. This Los Angeles loft is the most idyllic setting for a photoshoot that focuses on life’s greatest gifts — your kiddos! We love the look of the teepee by the Christmas tree and bright white decorations that make your little ones look oh-so-angelic in pictures.

4. Include your furry friends

What would your indoor Christmas photoshoot ideas be without your trusted furry friend by your side! Inviting your pet to be a part of your photoshoot can make your photoshoot just that much more special. Many Peerspaces are pet friendly — like this rustic barn in Georgia that comes complete with a Christmas theme!

5. Get creative with Christmas ornaments

This California Peerspace studio comes with a fully adjustable hanging ceiling structure that’s perfect for hanging all your ornaments. The durable aluminum grid can be raised and lowered as needed and can comfortably hold up to 1,200 pounds!

6. Bring the snow inside

Just because you’re shooting indoors doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the snow as part of your indoor Christmas photoshoot ideas! For example, check out the fun, fake snow decor in this Orange, CA studio. This venue also comes with a variety of fabulous amenities.

As one Peerspace reviewer said, “All of my friends were blown away with the amenities that come with the place and will become future customers!”

7. Decorate more than just the Christmas tree!

During your indoor Christmas photoshoot, decorate more than just the Christmas tree! You can decorate everything from your pets to yourselves, to even your motorcycle. This is sure to bring lots of laughs to your photoshoot and tons of great memories too!

8. Cozy up by the fireplace

Nothing quite says Christmas time like snuggling up by the fireplace!

For example, check out the beautiful fireplace in this North Carolina Peerspace!
