How to Turn Holiday Photos Into the Perfect Christmas Card

There’s something so special about receiving a Christmas card in the mail. It’s a little reminder that someone was thinking of you during the busiest season of the year. If you’re planning to send cards this holiday, your family photo session is the perfect starting point.

Here are a few simple tips to make your Christmas cards shine:

1. Pick the Right Photo

Not every photo is card-perfect. Choose an image where your family looks relaxed, happy, and connected. Smiles are wonderful, but laughter or natural interaction often feels even more genuine.

2. Choose a Style That Matches Your Family

Think about what reflects you. Do you love classic and elegant? Go with simple designs and timeless fonts. More playful? Bright colors, fun layouts, or even candid moments might be the way to go.

3. Keep the Message Simple

A warm greeting goes further than a long paragraph. “Wishing you joy this Christmas and always” says it all. Your friends and family want to see your faces and feel your love.

4. Order Early

Don’t wait until mid-December. Ordering your cards early means you’ll have time to write them, address envelopes, and enjoy sending them without last-minute stress.

Bonus Tip: Many of our clients love using one of their included prints or digital images from their session as the star of their holiday card. It’s a wonderful way to share your family’s memories.
