This year, we're doing them the first wknd in Nov. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1898730 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 07:30:24 +0000 JennyG 1898730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got family photos done this weekend. They won't be very Christmasy, but we'll either use those or some I take myself. I love the idea of snapping some when we go pick our tree. LO will be 16 months so I'm hoping he'll be into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1898656 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 00:26:48 +0000 MaisyMay 1898656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing ours on Sunday (a week from today) with the photographer who did our wedding 5 years ago. I want to get our order in before the company I work for gets too crazy busy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1898502 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 18:48:18 +0000 silver1 1898502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the ideas! I might probably do it closer to dec 2nd week when we have christmas tree up with just the LO (and perhaps the cat). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1898468 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 17:59:08 +0000 Adira 1898468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QueensBee: I was actually thinking of doing just that, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1898002 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 17:52:44 +0000 QueensBee 1898002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Ahhh, that's a little tricky. My dad is a photography hobbyist so he brings his whole set up for photos! Fancy camera, enormous flash, tripod, etc. </p> <p>Could you set it all up on the tripod so they just have to click when you smile? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1897997 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 17:49:25 +0000 Adira 1897997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QueensBee: The only issue is that both my parents get confused by my dSLR, so it might not turn out so good, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1897994 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 17:47:23 +0000 QueensBee 1897994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Love that idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1897992 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 17:46:17 +0000 Adira 1897992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I was actually thinking of doing that too. We're getting our tree the weekend after Thanksgiving, so I could potentially pull that off!</p> <p>@QueensBee: Actually, you just reminded me that my parents are going to help me decorate the tree after we get it. Maybe I can get them to take a nice family picture of the three of us while they are here and then I can include a picture of all of us and not JUST Xander! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1897990 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 17:41:23 +0000 QueensBee 1897990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We plan to have my dad take them when we go cut down our Christmas tree, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1897957 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 16:16:21 +0000 pui 1897957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am only going to put LO on our card this year (that's who everyone really wants to see anyway :silly: ). I plan on taking her photo infront of our Christmas tree, which we put up the first weekend in December. So... around then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1897949 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 15:49:28 +0000 Espion 1897949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: If I could ever haul our butts outside to do that, that looks like a wonderful idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1897869 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 13:21:13 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1897869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did professional pictures a few months ago so we wont be paying for them again, so i will either take a more holiday like photo of lo myself, or i will just include one of our professional fmaily shots, even though they arent really very christmassy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1897867 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 13:18:44 +0000 BSB 1897867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually scramble late Nov or in Dec for ours.</p> <p>This year, DH suggested going to Mt Rainier like this month to do our photo. We'll be early this year, if we can make it happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-photo-cards-when-do-you-take-your-pictures#post-1894812 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 09:27:02 +0000 Andrea 1894812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually take them Oct/Nov, but I got tired of dealing with the cold weather outfits.

But I think we're going to do early Nov and dress up the trees like this. I take my camera and meet a friend and we just snap a few for each other. </p> [attach=618/14/nd6icf.384x600.d1b300811395efaaacf4d27b106e9f95.jpg]
