It's {already} Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

I know it seems early, but if you haven't already, you might want to start thinking about your Christmas cards. 

Many photographers are booked up for Christmas sessions, but not all is lost!  You can have a friend, neighbor or family member snap a few shots to use for your family Christmas picture.

If you can't get a good picture of everyone together, consider using an online website to create a photo collage with a Christmas message.

Shutterfly has an easy uploading system with tons of templates to choose from.  They have Christmas designs, photo cards and even Christmas address labels. 

I've been making my grandmother an 8x8 photo book through Shutterfly (Diapers.com emailed me a free code!) and it's been VERY easy to put together.  You can upload multiple pictures at a time and, even with my slow computer, they uploaded fairly quickly.

So if you don't get a great Christmas card picture, consider using a photo collage with "good" pictures of each family member.  If nothing else, have everyone make a funny face and use that as your annual family picture.  Who sits around smiling all the time, anyway?!?!

(this was almost our Christmas card last year, but I decided Jason should be included and he was still in my tummy)

Christmas is just around the corner...the sooner you get your cards printed, the less stressed you'll be in December!
