Happy Holidays
For the past 3 years, I noticed that my DH and I don't actually have any decent Christmas Photo together. Our photos are either with family at Christmas Dinner or no photos at all since I was the one taking the photo.
Last year, I decided to put an end to the bad photos I am left with. I convinced my DH to have our pictures taken at a Photo Studio. There were no fancy set-ups in the studio so I decided to bring my own props - a set of Santa hats for each of us. I even coordinated the clothes we were going to wear. Both of us were wearing green and that Santa hat was just the right accent for the red tones.
We had a blast! Our photo package consisted of four set-up with 16 wallet-size print and 1 8R print. It was our best photo for 2007 and I had plenty of photos to choose from for scrapping.
And here is that layout. I used the 8R print to keep the focus on my DH and I. For the color scheme, I limited it to 3 colors - green, red and gold. Just the right contrast for a Christmas feel. This is one of my all time favorite layouts.
So this Christmas, try to do the same thing, have your photos taken in a photo studio. Or do your Christmas photo session. Use props to help add mood to your photos. And most of all have fun! You will definitely end up with a photo you like and it will inspire you to create a wonderful Christmas layout.

Awww...cute photo! :D
My husband and I actually had to photoshop our entirely family's heads from all our various attempts at christmas pics in order to get one where we were all looking at the camera, LOL (I have a baby and a toddler, so cooperation with photo shoots is nil).
That photo looks professional quality to me! And I love the hats!
very nice photo Liza, and I love the layout too!
CUTE PICTURE!!! That's a great idea using a studio to take your pictures together.
