Share Your Christmas Card Photos!

[Mother Goose]

Sarah, what about a family pic this year? If you have a tripod you could set the timer on your camera. The pose can be somewhat simple, DH holding Zander up whilst he puts the star/Angel on the top of the tree and you stand also putting a decoration on.

Or you could photographer DH holding Zander putting the star/Angel on and then crop DH out if you just want Zander in the pic.

Or Zander "shaking" a box under or near the tree.

Or Zander offering a teeny wrapped pressie to your bare belly (if you have a bit of a bump this would work even better ). Would look very cute if Zander was wearing a Santa Hat.

What about Zander peeking out from behind the Chirstmas Tree?

Someone mentioned unposed pics - you could use several of Zander helping to decorate the tree and then have one of him with the finished tree in the middle - kind of like a "work in progress" photo.

Do you have somewhere you hang stockings? You could have one of Zander hanging his stocking "with care".

If you have a little table you could set up the Christmas tree and have the table in the same frame and have a pic of Zander setting out milk and cookies for Santa.

Or you could have an overdramatized (i.e. big envelope with big clear writing) envelope addressed to Santa and take a pic of Zander "posting" it. Added bonus, if you send it to the official Aust Post address set up for Santa, he'll get a reply!

HTH and looking forward to seeing the final result!

If you wanted to take a photo to bribe him with when he's older, you could dress him up in Period Costume and have him holding a "Christmas Carol's" book and take a photo of him next to the tree singing carols.

one of my friends suggested an idea that I'm going to try this year.
Set up some christmas lights in a slightly darkened area and let bubba play, apparently the glow from the lights frames your subject beautifully. We have a set of outdoor led lights so I'm going to test out my skills on this idea

[Erin_25]

I've just finished mine & very happy with the result.

Blizz I think I'll try that next year, sounds like a great idea.

Well I went and got reindeer ears and a santa hat for Miss Iz today - you ladies have motivated me to take some pics for cards this year! Will post them once they are taken! She has a red spotty jumpsuit she can wear with them - or nudie nappy shots! Might take a bunch and see what everyone thinks!

We had a play around last week, so can post a pic from that, but we're getting our tree today which will give us more chance to play

I think you're right BG, we're struggling to get a better one.

How'd you put the words on the photo?

[Michelle71]

There are a few ways depending on what computer and programs you have but you can also go to a photo printing place (eg Harvey Norman) and on their photo booths there are options for creating Christmas (or other occasion) photos using your picture. And I think it is 15c per photo!!

I just put the photo into Photoshop & put the words on through there
