Totally agree that it is important to keep the picture taking time short! 1 hour is a good limit.

We are doing our Christmas card pics in the morning & I'm completely unprepared for them!! I feel like this might be best though because I'll just be happy with whatever I get – no expectations! LOL! (This is totally unlike me but, I think I'm realizing a 9 1/2 month old baby probably won't cooperate very well! BLAH!) LOVE y'alls pics though!! They all look great!!

Awww I love your cards through the years, and those are all such great tips. I helped a friend recently with a newborn shoot so she had an extra set of hands – there's a lot going on!

Yes to all of these tips! We just did family pictures with my side of the family and also made the mistake of saving our little family photos until the end. I haven't seen any proofs yet, but I should have had us do our shots earlier on. I'll remember that for next time. We also tried on all of our outfits/accessories on ahead of time so we knew exactly what to expect on picture day. They are always stressful, but totally worth it! Love how yours turned out 🙂

great tips! we are having our photos taken while we are in chicago over thanksgiving. i totally had THREE outfits for violet picked out but yah you're probably right about keeping her wardrobe simple. there's no way she's going to tolerate that many outfit changes! not to mention our session is only an hour long. xo jillian – cornflake dreams

Christmas cards make me SO happy! Last year we used Minted and I will never use any other site! Such great quality and customer service. I am stressing out majorly that I don't have ours done yet this year. We are going to NYC in 2 weeks so I'm trying to wait for a picture from there… Insert panic Type A personality freak out. Beautiful pics lady! Your hair,I am so jealous!
