Holiday Card

The photo everyone's fridge sees for a month.

The holiday card wants coordination without uniforms: a red-green-cream palette where each family member wears a different piece of it. Matching pajamas are the playful version; knits and plaid the classic one. Shoot in November — the card printing deadline always arrives earlier than anyone plans.

Indoor sets need warm practical lights — the tree, string lights, candles — and a tripod. Keep hands busy: mugs, ornaments, a dog with a santa hat. The out-take frames where everything falls apart are traditionally the best card.
