Madison LeCroy Shares 2026 Holiday Card and Photo Prep Tips

Madison LeCroy provided an exclusive first look at her 2026 holiday card, which features a family portrait of herself, her husband Brett Randle, and their children, 14-year-old Hudson and 1-year-old Teddi.

The card utilizes one of Minted’s customizable templates to showcase a design LeCroy described as a blend of nostalgic and modern elements.

LeCroy noted that her goal for the card was to ensure the photo remains the central focus while the design helps unify the overall presentation. “I want the photo to be the star, but the design needs to pull everything together,” LeCroy said.

Regarding the aesthetic, she expressed a preference for cards that offer “a little glamour, a lot of love” and feature everyone looking at the camera simultaneously, though she joked that capturing everyone at once is “the real Christmas miracle.”

Drawing on her experience in front of the camera from her time on “Southern Charm,” LeCroy shared several specific techniques for posing and grooming. To achieve a better look in photos, she recommends that individuals stand tall, turn their bodies slightly, and keep their chins a bit forward and down. She also advised knowing one’s “good side” in advance and taking a quick test snapshot to check for hair flyaways.

LeCroy’s beauty routine for holiday photos begins the night before to ensure her skin looks “hydrated and fresh” before makeup application. Her specific preparation steps include:

• Hair Care: To prevent frizz and achieve “soft, polished hair,” she uses Kérastase Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum.
• Skincare: Utilizing a Medicube K-beauty face mask to prep the skin.
• Complexion: Using Fenty Beauty to achieve a “sun-kissed look” to bring warmth to the face.
• Makeup Accents: She suggests using selective sparkle to create a glow rather than looking like a “Christmas ornament,” and recommends using pretty neutrals on the eyes to provide definition without competing with family outfits.
