Photo Collage Christmas Card
Last night's project involved taking some holiday pictures for a potential Christmas card. I have always wanted to have these baby lit up by lights picture and never got around to doing it when my oldest was a baby. So here it is. I took a ton of pics and picked out the best ones to make a photo collage Christmas card.



Tips for taking Holiday Lights and Baby Photos:
1. Room must be dark
2. Clean background, I had a mattress on the floor in a spare bedroom I covered with a white sheet and the wall is a light color.
3. Work fast, those lights get hot very quickly, within a minute or so. Take a few, take a break to let them cool down, they cool quickly too, and try again.
4. Since you are using no flash, you need to be very steady, a tripod would be recommended, but I did not use one for these. Luckily, the lights are facinating so baby held still for long enough at regular intervals for me to get decent shots.
5. Got have the santa hat!
