Photos are a critical part of the holidays. This is the perfect time of year to access, organize and finally get your photos in shape.
First of all, you want to make sure your camera and equipment are in great condition for the holidays. Do you need to buy a new battery or memory cards? This is a great time to do it.
Photos make great gifts. After all, they are unique and one of a kind. Grandparents, friends and relatives who live far away would love a framed photo of those they don’t get to spend enough time with throughout the year.
If you use a Christmas card photo, start thinking about taking it. Of course, you could visit a professional photographer, or take a planned portrait, but in many cases carrying around your camera and capturing some candid moments is a little more special.
