Taking Better Holiday Photos

One of my favorite co-workers passed along these tips for taking better holiday photos:



Instead of indoor pictures where there's low light and the pictures turn out overly yellowish, take your photos in the morning or late afternoon outside where the light is most flattering.



To capture holiday lights, shoot in the evening before it gets dark.



Use continuous (or burst) mode to capture the kids opening gifts. That way, you won't miss the candid moments.



Talk to your kids while you photograph them to bring out their personalities.



Take family photos early on in the celebrations. Your guests will look their best and the kids won't be cranky.



And finally, don't spend too much time behind the camera. Take time to enjoy the holiday!
