Shutterfly Family Photo Days

It's that time of year again, if you are anything like me you have been contemplating taking that family photo for Christmas cards, gifts, and more.  I love to take my photos outdoors.  The quality of a photo indoors vs. outdoors can not compare.  Arranging the family in front of  pretty landscaping also adds a nice touch.  I would have to say my all time favorite family photo was taken on a beach near our house when my son was about 5 months old.  He is 6 now.  Times flies by so quickly.  I learned from early on that when you are taking pictures of kids, everything needs to be around their schedule or you may not get the photo you are looking for. 

To help inspire you, Shutterfly is having “Family Photo Days” throughout November.  There goal is to give you inspiration to create a beautiful family photo you would be happy to share. Some of the activities they have planned are:

· Digital toolkit posted online

· House parties (sponsor hosts to create their own Family Picture Day out of their homes)

· Meetup.com (sponsor mother’s groups around the country to congregate and take family photos for their holiday cards)

· Video, Photos, blogger involvement (and/or other viral and social components)

· Facebook tie-in – ads, sponsored stories

· Contest/Promotion: 5 winners based on type of photo – best funny family photo, most unique family photo, etc.

Shutterfly is a great online store you can upload your photos to and create one of a kind photo gifts.  I have used Shutterfly to make personalized calenders, mugs, and photo cards.  Everything I ordered came out looking great.
