DRESSING FOR BELIEVE!

What should we wear?

Boys

  • Solid two-piece set

  • Button front

  • Piped trim

  • Cotton or flannel

  • Traditional reds, greens, navy, cream, or white - BLUE is our favorite, it really makes children stand out!

Girls

  • Nutcracker-inspired pajamas

  • Traditional Christmas pajamas

  • Soft plaids, faint candy stripes, and traditional holiday colors

  • Velvet trim

  • Smocked details

It's natural to assume your Believe! wardrobe should be the same pajamas your children wear on Christmas morning.

In reality, you're creating heirloom portraits, not documenting Christmas morning.

The most beautiful Believe! portraits are almost always made with classic, tailored pajamas rather than snug-fitting sleepwear or novelty styles. Simple two-piece sets with traditional details photograph elegantly, allow children to move comfortably, and keep the focus on your family's connection with Santa.

Two-piece pajamas without built-in feet are ideal for portraits. So much of a child’s expression can be seen through their feet, the nerves, the excitement, all right there.

If you're shopping specifically for Believe!, think of them as portrait pajamas, not bedtime pajamas.

Every design choice in Believe! is intentional; from the handcrafted sets to the lighting, the wardrobe, and the artwork we create together. Choosing timeless clothing helps every element work together to create portraits you'll treasure for generations.

One of the biggest factors in creating timeless Christmas portraits is choosing clothing that complements the handcrafted world of Believe! Simple, classic styles allow your family's expressions, not busy clothing, to become the focus of every image.

When in doubt, choose timeless over trendy. The goal isn't to coordinate with the décor; it's to create portraits that will still feel beautiful decades from now.

For most Believe! families, we recommend starting with classic Christmas pajamas for your first visit. Below are our favorite styles, along with shopping suggestions and examples that photograph beautifully.

The Classic Christmas Look

Our #1 Recommendation: For your first Believe! visit, choose classic Christmas pajamas.

These timeless styles have become synonymous with the Believe! experience because they allow your family's expressions and the magic of Santa to take center stage.
