Creative Family Christmas Photos

November 15th, 2011
Hello fellow 365ers! Looking for some ideas and/or suggestions on creative family portraits for Christmas. I want to hear all your ideas, (post a few if you can from past portraits you've had done)! I'm wondering about a shot with our winter coats on? We don't have snow yet, and we are going to a friend's studio. Also, we have a family of 5! : )

Goofy Christmas socks and do a foot shot. Seen that a few times. =)

How about horrific Christmas sweaters (and horrific hairdo's - in my case)
November 15th, 2011
@pwallis Wow that sweater is amazing. A-mazing.
November 15th, 2011
@pwallis LOL!!!

@ukdanae @amers79 I think it's the giant Christmas'y mug in my hand that really brings out our hotness.
November 15th, 2011
@pwallis that mug is cool, but it's the faraway look in your eyes that makes the shot!

@ukdanae I'm just thinking about all the amazing sweaters I still have yet to knit.....
November 15th, 2011
@pwallis it really shows. you can see the hope, the giddy anticipation!

This is what I had last year, as you see it was me that was in the Christmas mood. LOL

this is one I did last year for my brother and his family. My sister-in-law is holding a taser while the rest of the family has their mouths taped shut and are sitting in fear (minus the little one who kept laughing). "Silent Night"? I think so. Haha!

@grecican it's the sweater. What's not to love?
@4stories I thought you'd seen this one already! It's an oldie, but a goodie:)

@annaruth BAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA i need to get this for my neighbor's 8 kids who live below me.
November 16th, 2011
@pwallis Paula, that is really funny! I don't think I have 5 sweaters like that! Bummer ; )

@lolanae thanks for the great idea!

@naomi I like the vantage point from above!

@positronicmommy love this - so sweet and angelic - not sure if my girls could pull it off! ; )

@cookie123 ha ha, I like the backwards, it adds to the overall effect! : )

@annaruth ha ha, that would definitely keep me silent! ; )

@grecican 8 kids below???? Wow, you need a silent night!
November 16th, 2011
These are great ideas!!! Keep 'em coming folks! : )

@beautifulplanet cost me about 7 bucks at the thrift store, and it's pretty fun shopping:)
November 16th, 2011
@grecican you have 8 frickin kids living below you????? No wonder you don't like baby photos! I completely understand your stance on that so much more now (not that I didn't before - but wow - 8 kids)
November 16th, 2011
@pwallis okay... i may have exaggerated by like... 5 kids. it's hard to tell. it's so loud down there... all of the time... and it seems like the lady is always pregnant. or just hella fat. whatever.

bitter, much? yeah...
November 16th, 2011
I saw a cute one the other day taken with the wax lips sold around Halloween time... might be too late to find them now.
November 16th, 2011
@pwallis i truly think this one of my fave photos ever. :o)
November 16th, 2011
@pwallis LOL! I love this every time I see it! Too funny!
November 16th, 2011
@pwallis hahahahahahaha.....Cracks me up everytime i look at it :)
November 16th, 2011
I took some for a friend last year with over sized ornaments and a blow up tree down o n the beach. I'm a fan of the goofy style ones like the black rimmed glasses with a big nose.
November 16th, 2011
@pwallis

What the hell is in that mug anyway because I've seen that "faraway" look before...at a bar.
November 16th, 2011
I did a rowing themed christmas groupshot for last year, might do something like this again this year with my new team.

November 16th, 2011
Here is ours from last year. We had all crammed into a photo booth the year before and the resulting photos were so fun that it inspired me for this card. The inside says “hope your holidays are picture perfect”.
November 16th, 2011
@pwallis An awkward family photo is on my list of possibilities this year. Yours is hilarious!
November 16th, 2011
@annaruth - oh that's awesome!! Very creative, well done!
November 16th, 2011
@positronicmommy - a beautiful card!!!
November 16th, 2011
I was thinking of tying us all up in Christmas lights and using the remote shutter to capture our capture, but I haven't tried it yet (mostly because I don't feel like dragging out the box of Christmas lights!)
November 16th, 2011
