As the holiday season approaches, families are whipping out their cameras with high hopes of capturing that perfect family photo that’ll be cherished on your photo cards and mantels for years to come.
But… if your kids are anything like my littleQ, the perfect photo opp isn’t always in the cards (no pun intended!). littleQ actually does love the camera, just not always when I need him to. Last year I posted about our unsuccessful attempt to have a family portrait taken, and because of that experience, I’m going to be doing things a little differently this year.
We’re going to head to one of the many woodsy-like walking trails here on Long Island and take our own family photo. (Ugh, which we better do soon, because it is already mid-November.) I definitely don’t want to have to deal with another pint-sized meltdown, so I will be very, very prepared!
If you’ve got kids under the age of 5 and need to get this year’s perfect family photo, these tips apply whether you are going to be using the auto-timer on your camera or are having professional photos taken.
