EASY PEASY LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS CARDS.

finished1
Okay, so I know you all know how to take a Christmas card photo, but as a photo-loving girl, I thought I'd share a few tips and tricks that I've learned since I became my family's unofficial official photographer.

Here's what you'll need:
-Good looking family members/loved ones (which everyone has/is)
-A camera
-A tripod or a hard surface to rest said camera on (a sturdy stack of books, a ladder, or even a step stool will work, too!)
-Fun photobooth props
-Great smiles
-A fun backdrop

Being the last-minuters that we are (ahem), our family decided to take some quick and easy family photos together. We went outside after church last Sunday, grabbed some snowflake and star ornaments, hung them on the tree, grabbed the tripod and leftover photobooth props and had way more fun than we ever anticipated.

Here's what we did:

Using a site like TinyPrints makes things way easier than I ever could have imagined. Their templates aren't like the drugstore ones. Nope, they've got a brilliant creative team who knows how to pair their fonts together (typography for the win!), create timeless designs, and make it super easy customer-friendly process. Seriously, it's a-mazing. 

So tell me, did you send out Christmas cards this year? Did you DIY them or did you hire a professional? And did you send them out earlier than we did? I love seeing everyone's Christmas cards, so I want to know how/what you did!

    1. Thanks, Meg! I realized that I don't share too many photos of my family so I think it was about time they made an appearance on my little blog! :)

  5. Oh gosh... How adorable is your family!! I have wanted to do this for years, but it is so hard to gather my 8 siblings for a family photos. We have an outdated studio photo from 3-4 years ago prior to my brother getting married (and now has 2 kids!), so we should make the effort to take a fun family shoot next year!
