best holiday photos

Holiday celebrations always create joyous, festive visuals—making it the perfect time of year to break out the camera and take great photos! Here are some pro photography tips on how to take great photos this season:

Holiday Photo Tip #1: Take Candid Shots!

Instead of the traditional holiday photos of everyone smiling and posing, it’s more artistic to snap shots of friends and family just talking and laughing with each other. Try taking some pictures while everyone is helping in the kitchen or setting the table. You may get some funny expressions the first couple times, but there’s nothing like a photo of family just relaxing and enjoying each other’s company.

Holiday Photo Tip #2: Consider the Empty Space

If you were painting a picture, you wouldn’t put the main focus of your picture to the far left and leave half the page completely empty, right? Consider this when taking your holiday photos. Be sure to move around a bit to find the right angle and perspective that makes your loved ones the center of the photo.

Holiday Photo Tip # 3: Play Photographer!

Let’s face it. It’s fun to stage your shots a little bit. Maybe you want to take a photo of everyone clinking glasses after a toast or get a shot of everyone opening a present at once. Try staging a fun, interactive shoot as if you were a professional photographer for a little twist on traditional holiday photos.
