christmas camping

Salem Oregon Photographer - cozy camper christmas!

I’m currently on vacation! Well, technically it’s more of a “staycation,” but I’m off work for a few weeks! I had a very busy year and didn’t really get a chance to do any creative/personal work, so this little holiday themed shoot in our camping trailer was exactly what I needed. Once I wrapped up all of my client work for the year, I went out to the trailer (in our driveway), turned on some Christmas music, made myself some cocktails, and decorated the tiny space. It was just what I needed to unwind, espeicially after such a busy fall season, This seems to have become an annual thing for me, although not always with the same trailer.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Salem Oregon Photographer - Christmas time in the canned ham!

Although I did my decorating long before Christmas, I didn’t manage to get these photos posted in time. I’d love to blame the weather, but it was just me being a procrastinator. Anyway, I recently decorated Honey (my 1962 Shasta Compact) for her first Christmas! All in all, I got a little carried away with the trailer theme and it ended up a bit on the tacky side, but oh well. She’s still cute and cozy!

Because I’m a ridiculous person, I decorate our camping trailer for different holidays. This is the second time I’ve decorated for Christmas, but I went a different route. Last year, which you can see HERE, featured a hot chocolate theme. I also set up the banquette last year, whereas I turned it into a bed for this year’s shoot (gotta love camping trailers!). This year I went with more of a more of a Scottish picnic theme, with red tartan bedding, whiskey, and shortbread biscuits.
