Catching all the days memories with Christmas day photo taking is a must. From the second you wake up grab a camera and play paparazzi to get all the best shots of the people you love.
Throughout the day one person may not be able to take all the photos, so why not pass the lens around and get everybody’s perspective of the day. That way it gives the day a rounded and warm feeling when looking back over them and seeing a shot your child took that you didn’t think of or a nice snap of yourself hard at work cooking or playing games.
Before a day of photography, double-check your battery life. If you’re using a traditional digital camera make sure the battery is charged or swap in some fresh batteries, so you don’t have to worry about it during the day. If you’re using your phone, make sure to have a charger nearby to recharge during the day.
