Christmas Card Photo Ideas

Christmas is just around the corner, for me that means getting our Christmas cards set out. The hardest part about family photos is all the decisions: what to wear, finding the perfect location, picking a photo theme, and last but not least, how to pose the whole family. Needless to say, family photos can be a daunting task if you don’t know where to start. Our new challenge is scheduling… now that Klailea is in college we have to plan for when everyone is home. If you are needing a little inspiration, then you have come to the right place. You will love these cute family photo ideas!
