It’s officially the holiday season! This magical time of year always has us pulling out our cameras and taking photos, but there are some special holiday moments you might not normally think to photograph! Here is a list of 15 things to be sure to capture with your camera this winter:
1. Picking out the perfect tree
2. Opening your daily advent calendar
3. Little ones eating sticky candy canes
4. Kiddos writing letters to Santa
5. Decorating the Christmas tree (and putting on the star!)
6. Each kid’s favorite Christmas ornament (after all, your photo can last forever, though the ornament may not!)
7. Family story or Bible time
8. Fur babies in their Christmas gear
9. Christmas shopping
10. Little hands helping with holiday baking
11. Kids wrapping presents all by themselves
12. Setting out Santa’s cookies
13. Blowing or throwing snow in the air
14. Warming up by the fire
15. Hot chocolate mustaches

After all the presents have been opened, I always take a picture of my son laying on his back in the discarded wrapping paper. He’s still wearing his Christmas pajamas, and I stand on a chair to get a good shot looking down from above.
I started this with my little sisters when they were growing up, and have carried the tradition to my own family.

Thanks for sharing all of the wonderful photography ideas! I’ve been taking pretty good photos for years (without any “training”), so it’s really exciting to get any ideas to make my photos better.
