It's that time of year for family gatherings and holiday greetings. Coming soon to your mailbox - photo cards from friends near and far.
Companies like Shutterfly and Tiny Prints make it super easy to create these photo cards and can serve as a fun keepsake for years down the road.
I've saved our family's Christmas photo card since I first started sending them out, from 1999. Back then, you had to order multiple copies of your 4x6 photo and slip them into a card sleeve.
Some handy tips for taking your family photo:
Get everyone (including parents, even grandparents) in the photo!
I know many parents simply include photos of the kids. I really want to see you, too!
Get close together, hug each other.
Don't be afraid to make your subjects laugh
Then so something fun.
Selfies work, too!
Have fun with those family and group photos!
