Some people elect to have professional pics taken for the holidays. However, I’d rather save a few bucks by taking my own. Princess and I had fun snapping photos for our holiday card this past weekend.
We’re cutting it pretty close this year. I’m hoping to get these babies out in time for Christmas. Our Christmas tree became the perfect backdrop for our holiday card. I was able to chose from a bunch of different designs and came up with this one. It’s not too late to make your own! Here are some cool tips to help you get the best pics:
1. Keep it simple. It’s important to not have a busy or distracting background. Our Christmas tree was the perfect backdrop.
2. Don’t force it. I fell behind on making up Christmas cards because Princess wasn’t feeling well. She wasn’t up to smiling for the camera, so I didn’t push the issue. If your kiddo is not up to posing, postpone your photo shoot. You’d get better pics with a happy child.
3. Make it fun! We played games on slot gacor hari ini, sang songs, and made faces. I didn’t want this to be a chore for her. You can get your child to take cool pics when you incorporate the things they love.
4. The closer the better. Don’t let your little one get lost in the background. Photos that are eye level and close up make the best cards.
5. Keep it short. No kid wants to be posing in front of the camera for hours. Princess and I were done with our shoot in less than a half hour.
Once your done with your photo shoot, choose your favs, and order away! I love to order online. But if you’re pressed for time, you can hit up your local drug store and make your purchase.
Have you sent out your holiday cards yet?

The pic of her with her hands in the air is my fave! I was holding out on making my New Years cards to get a shot of Nia in the city but the weather and our schedules didn’t work out in addition to when my Shutterfly discount codes were expiring so I had to go with a different picture than the one I wanted. They turned out great though and can’t wait to share them on the blog January 1!
Thanks Bruce! Happy Holidays!
Thanks! Can’t wait to see them next year!:)
