Ah, the holidays. The time of the year where trees are trimmed, dinners are good, presents wrapped and families gather together in attempt to get a family photo. A fairly easy feat as couple, a bit easier with older kids, and near impossible with infants.
Every year we get Christmas cards with the traditional holiday photo, and while I enjoy those I have to say that recently I enjoy the ones that are out of the ordinary a bit more.
I don’t typically send out holiday cards, photo or otherwise, because I am such a procrastinator that no one would get them until June, and who knows what kind of amateur picture we will end up with in front of our tree this year. I imagine they will end up more like these:
If we were going to attempt some kind of professional picture, or if you’re currently wondering how to pose your own pictures, you should check out this link. There are some seriously cute ideas. Should you choose any like this I’d love to see them!
Happy holiday photo shooting!

We do Christmas photos every year, but trying to get my toddler, baby, and a dog to all look halfway decent at the same time is tough, you’re right! Okay, “tough” doesn’t quite do it justice…impossible is more like it! But the bloopers always make me laugh in the end, so I guess it’s worth it. 🙂

Love it! The non-posed photos are always the best. There’s just nothing like capturing your family in their true nature. 😉

Love the link. I think I took over 500 photos before I found a few I could use for our cards lol. And they aren’t even the best. 🙂

I totally prefer the natural photographs! Plus, getting our family to all be still is insane – we just go for the random and the every fun “how many people can we fit in this selfie” pictures!
