If there’s one thing my Senior Rep Team knows how to do, it’s have fun in front of the camera—and this Christmas, we took things to a whole new (and very sugary) level.
For our holiday shoot, I dreamed up a Candyland-inspired Christmas photoshoot, and let me tell you… it was pure magic. Think bold colors, playful energy, and seniors who fully leaned into the theme with confidence and personality. The result? A photoshoot that was vibrant, joyful, and absolutely unforgettable.
Lollipops, Teal Backdrops & Big Personality
We started with a clean, stunning teal background—the perfect pop of color to let the candy (and the seniors!) shine. Each of my Senior Reps posed with oversized lollipops, giving us those fun, editorial-style images that feel modern, bold, and a little bit whimsical.
These weren’t just photos of candy… they were photos of confidence, laughter, and seniors being unapologetically themselves. Every pose, smile, and expression told a story—and yes, there was plenty of laughing between shots.
A Sweet Detail: The Nails 💅🍬
One detail that truly tied this candy photoshoot together was the custom nails donated by the amazing Jesse Crawford of Aspen. Jesse generously donated these colorful, fun, beautiful nails, and they could not have been more perfect for a vibrant candy-themed shoot. The bold colors and playful designs added that extra pop in every pose—especially holding lollipops and candy props—and elevated the entire look from cute to wow. Jesse is incredibly kind, and so supportive of creative projects like this. If you’re looking for custom nails of your own, you can find and contact her through Aspen to get on her books. Trust me—you’ll want nails like these for your next shoot. Thank you Jesse!
Immersed in Candy (Yes, Literally)
To make the shoot even sweeter, each Senior Rep got their own signature candy. We didn’t just hand them a prop—we created an entire candy moment around them.
✨ Bright bubble gum balls ✨ Classic Dum Dum suckers ✨ Colorful Mike & Ikes
The seniors were surrounded, immersed, and totally vibing with their candy themes. The textures, colors, and movement brought the images to life and gave every rep a unique look that reflected their personality.
This shoot felt like stepping straight into a holiday candy shop—festive, playful, and full of cheer.
Why I Love Creative Shoots Like This
Candy-themed shoots are more than just cute—they allow seniors to break out of their comfort zone, express their individuality, and experience what it’s like to be part of a creative team.
That’s what the Senior Rep Team is all about:
Building confidence
Making memories
Creating one-of-a-kind images
And having a whole lot of fun along the way
This Christmas candy shoot was the perfect reminder of how powerful (and fun!) creativity can be.
