Getting ready to take the annual family photo for your Christmas cards, New Year’s cards or Thanksgiving cards? We see a lot of family photos, and wonder how our customers manage to take such great ones. To make your photo session easier, we’ve compiled our top 10 family photo tips, especially for those who have lots of family members to organize or little kids to corral.

9. Bring toys or treats
Don’t be caught empty handed. You’ll need to take quick action if you have to turn that frown upside down or want to reward good behavior.
8. Set a rain date

Nobody wants to send Christmas cards that sound or look exactly the same as everyone else’s. So why do we settle on the same traditional Christmas card sayings every year? Here are 10 Christmas cards that say Happy Holidays without saying Happy Holidays!
