Christmas Photos

Now is a great time to take pictures for Christmas letter or cards. While visiting the beach or grandma's house, gather the family for a group picture.

While cousins visited this week we headed over to the lake and took pictures of all the grandkids together. If it is a rare treat for everyone to be together, like it is for us, take advantage of the opportunity.

All you need for your own photo session is a camera (preferably digital), tripod, and lots of patience. Be prepared to take plenty of photos to get one or two keepers.

These special family photos make wonderful gifts--especially for hard-to-buy for grandparents.
* Enlarge and frame one of the photos.
* Make a special album of all the photos. Use Photoshop and put some in sepia or black and white tones for a unique touch.
* Create a CD and set it to music.
