Spark Studios’ Annual Holiday Photo Pop-Up Was a Huge Success!

This past Sunday, November 2nd, Spark Studios hosted the first weekend of our annual Holiday Photo Pop-Up, and it was a total success! Sixteen families joined us for their quick five-minute photo sessions inside our beautifully styled Main Studio. The energy was festive, the smiles were genuine, and every family left with stunning images to use for their holiday cards.

If you missed it, don’t worry-our second date is coming up on November 22nd, and you still have a chance to join in the fun.

What Everyone Wore

The fashion choices were on point! Cream and off-white were definitely the winners of the day, creating that timeless, cozy look that photographs beautifully. Following close behind were warm tones of burnt orange and burgundy, and of course, the classic pine green that always feels festive and elegant.

These color palettes complemented the holiday backdrop perfectly, helping families stand out while still keeping the overall look cohesive in their photos.

Why Outfit Coordination Matters

When planning your outfits, it’s important to choose colors that complement each other rather than compete for attention. Busy prints or clashing tones can distract from what really matters – the connection and joy captured in your photos.

Solid-colored outfits are a great choice because they create a clean, timeless look. That doesn’t mean you all need to match exactly, unless you’re going for that classic white-top-and-denim-jean vibe. Instead, aim for coordination.

A simple tip from our In House Team: choose a color group, like cream, khaki, and dark grey, and then add one pop or muted color, such as burgundy or pine green. Even small touches – like a white dress paired with burgundy shoes – can elevate your family’s overall look without feeling overdone.

Where to Shop for Holiday Outfits Around Huntington Beach

If you’re looking for holiday-ready outfits for your next photo session, you don’t have to go far. Huntington Beach has plenty of great shopping spots that make it easy to find the perfect look.

Start at Pacific City, an oceanfront shopping destination with plenty of stores and cafes to make a full afternoon out of your outfit hunt. Inside, you’ll find:

• H&M – Great for affordable, trendy staples like cream sweaters and matching denim.
• ZARA – Perfect for rich, seasonal tones like burgundy and pine green, especially for adults who want an elevated look.

For a more local boutique feel, check out smaller shops along Main Street or The Strand, where you can find one-of-a-kind accessories to add subtle pops of color.
