If you like to give a personalized but affordable Christmas present, why don't you go for a customized family portrait Christmas card? This present is perfect if you have family members or friends abroad whom you haven't seen for a while. With your family portrait on the front cover and your personal message inside, there is no denying that your present is truly going to be unique and special.

The only major thing you will have to do to make this card is to have your family portrait taken. It's imperative that you put your best family photograph on this card. Keep in mind, these aren't just cards but keepsakes for your recipients. So, to ensure that you get the best family pictures, read some of the recommendations below.

First on the list of things you should do is to pick a schedule. If you're going to put it on your personalized Christmas card, set it at least two months before December. Before you decide on a schedule though, be sure to talk to everyone. Keep in mind, this is a family picture; thus, everyone must be there.

Other than the schedule, pick a location. Nowadays, outdoor photography is widely practiced. What is great about this photography style is that you get to have a scenic, natural background.

The only downside of an outdoor family pictorial is that kids can easily get distracted as bystanders are present. Controlling the children in an open space may also be difficult. As an alternative to an outdoor venue, you can have it in a studio. A studio is said to be best venue for portraiture.

In addition, make sure you talk about and decide on what to wear. You can choose to wear color-coordinated attires or come up with a theme. The latter is very much recommended if you want your photograph to be unique and your pictorial to be fun.

The most important thing you must do for your family pictorial is to get a professional photographer in town. There are many good photographers to choose from out there. While there are excellent young ones, it is still better to choose an experienced family photographer. With his experience in taking family photos, you can count on a fast and hassle-free photo shoot with him.
