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!
What a beautiful family you have, Shirley!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are wonderful...I have the old 4x6 photos too. I was able to take a few pictures for Christmas cards this year....your tips made so much sense. Merry Christmas or should I say, Advent to you.
ReplyDeleteShirley - I am so behind with making my rounds on blogs - and was thinking of you and your training for marathons today as I caught up with an old friend who has become passionate about running. Love the 'selfie' of the family and hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday season. Happy New Year!
