I have always thought photos make a great Christmas gift, especially for those people who are so hard to shop for. Who wouldn't love to receive photos of the people they love? Plus, how amazing is it to look back at those photos and see how much the kids have grown! Then again, perhaps it is a time to look at old photos and remember those that are not with us. No matter what, this is a way of bringing the family closer and celebrating the ties that you don't always have time to appreciate.
So every year I try to get a family picture of my family but taking a photo where the photographer is in the photo is so hard! I can't make the adjustments I normally make for other people so I usually set everything up for my father-in-law and tell him, "Just keep pushing the button!" in hopes of getting a few good shots to work with. In the end I love these photos because I love to see how the similarities and differences of my kids.
Meanwhile, I keep shooting whether is it my family or your. Happy Holidays!
