Christmas Product Photography for Seasonal Brand Content

If you're a product-based business dreaming of standout seasonal content, this Christmas-inspired brand shoot for The Paper & Plan Co is everything. We brought all the holiday cheer to life at BuildHER Co in Davenport, Iowa - styling their signature playtime pads in a way that’s festive, fun, and full of connection. Even though the brand is rooted in St. Louis, MO, we made the shoot happen in Iowa with the quick ship of a box - and the result? A cozy, Christmas dream come true.

Why Seasonal Branding Matters (Especially Around the Holidays)

Emily, the founder of The Paper & Plan Co, had just one note for us: “Make it heavy on the Christmas theme.” And let’s just say—we delivered! Seasonal branding is more than just cute props. It’s about timing your content to match what your audience is already feeling, celebrating, and shopping for. The holidays are a perfect opportunity to connect emotionally with customers through imagery that feels personal and timely. Whether you're promoting gift-worthy products or sharing holiday deals, visually on-theme content grabs attention fast—and gives your audience one more reason to engage with your brand.

The Vibe: Christmas Magic Meets Clean, On-Brand Styling

We styled The Paper & Plan Co’s playtime pads in a fun and festive setting that still felt true to their brand’s clean and cozy aesthetic. With a thoughtful mix of holiday cheer and minimalist styling, the final images were perfectly primed for seasonal marketing.

Here’s a peek at what made this session shine:

Christmas Themed Garlands
Coordinating Gift Boxes
Candy Cane Hearts
Christmas Ornaments

The best part? These images are super versatile. They can be used across websites, social media, email marketing, and product listings - anywhere you want to boost visibility and connect with your audience during the busiest shopping season of the year.

Based in St. Louis? Shooting in Iowa?

One thing we love? Working with brands from anywhere. Even though Emily's business is based in St. Louis, we made the magic happen in Iowa - and the results speak for themselves.
