The Holiday Family Photo: Why Right Now Is the Time to Take It! by Cheryl Butler

It’s not too early to begin thinking about your holiday greeting card. Families are more relaxed in the fall months and there are more spontaneous photo ops available, such as when your family is enjoying time in the park, by the lake or in your own backyard.

Take advantage of everyone’s carefree attitudes by grabbing your camera and capturing these fun family times while your stress level is low. Encourage your family to ham it up, then choose which shot is your favorite. Select it, or a few, for your family's holiday card. You can even get them printed in advance, too! Maybe a fun activity before or after your Thanksgiving dinner?!
