This simple approach is a perfect example. <strong>Use a backdrop with only one focus item<\/strong>, like the holiday wreath, and avoid crazy backdrop colors. Include the family pup \u2014 because that\u2019s always a favorite. And think about using a step stool for the little ones to keep the faces all in the same general area.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/113012271877628642\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/just_a_wreath.jpg\" alt=\"just_a_wreath\" class=\"wp-image-4779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/just_a_wreath.jpg 564w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/just_a_wreath-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/113012271877628642\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">theivorylane.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-16-christmas-decorating\">16.

The key with photos is to have proper lighting. To create the same kind of magic as this family Christmas card idea clearly has, <strong>put up as many Christmas lights as possible<\/strong>, the more the merrier! In addition, have a soft light directed at the kiddos as they decorate the tree.
