Home for the Holidays

Leave a reply

Christmas is a special time of year when family and loved ones gather together. The tree comes up, the house is decorated and filled with the aroma of Christmas baking, and a time of fellowship is had among one another.

Maybe you have family travelling from a far distance, your kids are home on Christmas break, or maybe you are already fortunate enough to have everybody nearby. Whatever your situation may be, having the family together for the holidays is a great time to capture some memories. Here are some ideas for fun family Christmas photos that you will cherish for many years to come:

1. Decorating the tree: One of the best parts of preparing for Christmas is decorating the tree. Have some fun with it and take some candid shots during the process!
2. Going on an outdoor adventure: Snowshoeing, skiing, toboganning, skating. These are just a few of some family-friendly winter activities. These action shots are where the truest Christmas joy comes through.
3. Christmas baking: Tasty treats are a staple in almost every home at Christmas time. Prepare some sweets as a family; the kids will love it!
4. Christmas pyjamas: Buy a pair of Christmas pyjamas, and have some fun with it! These silly photos are fun for any age, and will be treasures for your family.
5. Formal photos: Hanging stockings by the fireplace, gathering around the tree, or group shots with immediate and extended family; these photos are great for hanging on your wall and giving out as Christmas or New Years’ cards.

Christmas is coming fast…don’t forget about Christmas cards!

Leave a reply

This recent snowfall has reminded me of how quickly Christmas is coming. What an exciting time! What are some of your favourite traditions leading up to the holidays? Between now and the New Year, our family receives an abundance of Christmas cards from family and friends. I love reading their updates, hearing about what they have planned for the upcoming year, and most of all, seeing a family photo with the card.

Each year, your family changes; kids start growing up, and your extended family and loved ones want to visually experience those special transitions in your life. One of the best gifts to give at Christmas is a professional portrait of your family. Keep in mind that there is only a limited number of weeks until Christmas, and that family photos should be booked sooner than later! Book an appointment today to schedule your shoot before spaces fill up.

Not sure what type of creative Christmas card you should do this year? Check out these 101 Creative Christmas Card Ideas, and consult with your photographer about putting those ideas into place.

It’s not too late to book your Christmas photos! Contact Miko Photography today to schedule your photo shoot before time runs out! We want to make sure you have the perfect Christmas card to give to family and friends this year.

Unhappy with your child’s school photos?

Leave a reply

Have you ever received your child’s school photos and either you or they (or both of you) were unhappy with the proofs? Maybe they felt uncomfortable with the way they had to sit, the photographer did not make them feel at ease, or in general, they were just having a bad day on school picture day. Whatever the case may be, there is an alternative to those pictures that you can consider that will make both you and your child happy!

Each child, and family, is unique. Let’s face it, school photographers do not have the time to really capture your child’s true personality and character by simply having them pose in a pre-arranged position. This can often cause kids to feel tense, and not let loose to show their true smile and personality.

If your family is a homeschooling family, you may not have the opportunity for school portraits. It is still important for you to capture your kids’ growing up years, and as a professional photographer, Miko Photography can help.

Do you want your photos to stand out and look different than they have in the past? When you book individual or family photos with Miko Photography, we will make sure you get a beautiful portrait of each child that you can proudly hang on your wall or give to family and friends. Contact us today, and we can discuss a special print package for each child!
