I hope you are having a happy weekend! I know it seems too early, but now is the time to start thinking about your holiday greeting cards! If you are going to include a family photo like this adorable family did, contact your favorite photographer now. Make sure to include your dog wearing a favorite collar, bandana or another accessory. I love Harley’s giant smile. Thanks to Lauren Weeks Photography for this great holiday card photo! Many photographers may be offering mini-sessions, so check with them before it is too late.

I love when a local photographer here does Holiday shots and donates a portion of her discounted fee to a local dog organization. They’re always the best photos!

I love getting Christmas cards with family photos, especially when they have kids and dogs!
Love the list and so appreciate being included.
Those holidays do sneak up on you really fast! Every year it seems to get faster and faster. I do have to get a start on things. It looks like you have a really busy calendar!
What a beautiful (definitely card-worthy) photo and family! I have thought about holiday cards, then quickly tried to redirect to something less holiday! Ugh, I’m a killjoy, aren’t I? 😉
Lots of stuff going on for dogs this month (I didn’t see anything in VA for Strut Your Mutt. I’ll have to look into that locally…)
This is so very pawesome – beautiful! We gots to get some more professional photographs, so I’ll be looking for someone in Seattle!
This is definitely on my mind. I am glad to know about mini sessions!
Very timely advice, thanks for the prompt.

Such a cute family. We haven’t sent out Christmas cards in several years, but I can see why these types of cards/pictures are so special to people.
