Stockings Hanging Photo
Hang up stockings with your family name on them and take a picture from above before you go to bed on Christmas Eve night. This is also a good idea if you want to get more creative – why not hang up some other seasonal items like candy canes or mini snowmen?
Favourite Christmas Decorations
Everyone has a favourite Christmas decoration, that holds some sentimental value to them. A stocking from their childhood or a personalised tree ornament. Whether you’re taking pictures of your favourite decorations that are scattered around the house. Why not try taking your DIY Christmas photos outside so you can include the Christmas tree and other items in your front yard?
