Not ready to give up the coveted holiday photo to the furry family member this year? It is totally understandable that you want to include the whole family (or even just the kids) in your annual Christmas portrait.
But of course, it's not really a pet holiday card without the pet. Whether you’re sending a standard or
cutout holiday photo card, how do you go about including your pet within your family picture? Luckily, it doesn't have to be so complicated.
Just call your pup over right before the whole family is ready to say 'cheese', or have the new kitten purring on your lap as the camera timer goes off. If you're itching for some unique ways to create a pet photo holiday card this year we got you covered with three fun ideas.
- Have the baby of the family and the pup (the bigger they are, the funnier this photo will be) facing each other — showing their profiles to the camera— with the Christmas tree in the back. Make sure the tree is all lit up to give the photo a bit of twinkling magic! This setup will surely create some endearing pet Christmas photos to choose from.
- Forget everyone else, you just want your furry friend on your photo pet holiday cards this year. Great choice! Keep the photo simple by placing reindeer antlers on your pet’s adorable little head. Take a few candid photos and you’ve got the perfect image for a custom pet Christmas card.
- On the other hand, you want the whole gang in the photo. Place your pet on a stool in the center with the whole family staggered around them. Everyone knows who the real center of attention is anyway. This fun arrangement will not only spotlight your furry friend but also create a memorable image for your pet holiday photo cards.
Pro tip: Have some treats for your pet while taking photos, especially if they’re not as patient as you were hoping for. A reward they can look forward to will keep them engaged and make the photo session for your holiday pet cards a breeze!
