It's that time of year again.   The holidays are upon us.  I think my family and I do more in November and December than I do all year.  As a photographer, I know the struggle is real when it comes to photographing these special moments.  One of my favorite photography websites published these tips for capturing holiday photos.  Definitely check these out!

I also invite you to try and take more unposed, candid shots of your holiday.  Have you ever gone back through your photos and noticed that most of them are of your family lined up like pickets in a fence standing in front of something (Christmas tree, grandmas fireplace, holiday display in your town)?  Maybe try something different.  

The kids wanted to make cookies yesterday, so I grabbed some detail shots of the action.  And yes, at one point I stood on top of my dinner table.  Just don't tell my husband.
