I chose this photo because it embodies the SPIRIT of Christmas. It makes me think of good friends,sharing warm spiced cider and festive holiday cookies. It's the perfect picture for a Christmas Party invitation or your Christmas card, should you choose not to be in the picture but want to send a warm greeting.

Sending a photo of your home decked out for the holidays sends a friendly and inviting message of JOY. I want to be friends with these people who put so much thought into the festivity and beauty of the season.

TIPS and IDEAS

FOR FABULOUS CHRISTMAS FAMILY PHOTOS

FAMILY VACATIONS

Everybody will enjoy this "WARM" season's greeting!

FAMILY ACTIVITIES

The activity can be holiday related or a favorite family outing that showcases who you are and what you enjoy as a family.

COLOR

Chose coordinating colors, avoid being too "matchy-matchy". Accent dark clothing with a pop of a bright color or a print pulling your color theme together. Avoid loud and wild patterns as they distract from the point of your greeting...YOU!

MIX IT UP!!

Take your picture from a different angle. Get close and personal!
