Design: Jen Montgomery<\/p><\/div>\n

A festive photo is a key element of most <\/span>pet holiday cards<\/span> (like this cute <\/span>Paws & Plaid<\/a><\/strong> design). Not only are holiday <\/span>pet photos<\/span> ideal for your Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or <\/span>Christmas photo card<\/span>, but you can also use them for other fun stationery too \u2014 like <\/span>notecards<\/span>, <\/span>stickers<\/span>, <\/span>photo books<\/span>, and<\/span> thank you card sets<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span> Here are some of our favorite photo shoot ideas for pet holiday cards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dress Your Pet in Festive Accessories<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Pet<\/p>\n

Gather your <\/span>furry friend<\/span>(s) and find the purrfect festive outfits or accessories for them. <\/span>Dogs in Christmas sweaters<\/a><\/strong> and cats in antlers are always adorable, but you can experiment with other festive pet accessories like bow ties, holiday jumpers, collars, and <\/span>Santa<\/span> hats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a Family Holiday Photo<\/b><\/h3>\n

People host family photo shoots all the time, so why not plan one with your pets? Have a little fun and stage images for your <\/span>photo holiday card<\/span> holding your pet like a baby, or where you\u2019re all jumping in the snow or sitting by the fireplace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Capture Mischief Around the <\/b>Christmas Tree<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Pet<\/p>\n

Whose pet hasn\u2019t caused some kind of trouble with the <\/span>Christmas tree<\/span> or festive decorations? If you can capture it in the moment, take a snap and share it with your loved ones for a funny <\/span>pet holiday card<\/span>. If not, stage something similar and have fun with your pet while you capture a moment of mischief.<\/span><\/p>\n

Showcase a Pet <\/b>Paw Print<\/b><\/h3>\n

If your pet is a little camera shy and doesn\u2019t want to be in the frame, you can still share some of their magic by using their <\/span>paw prints<\/span> instead. Color their paws with pet-friendly paints and stamp them onto your cards, or take a photo of their <\/span>paw prints<\/span> in the sand, mud, or snow. This is a great idea for a cat or <\/span>dog photo<\/span>, but you can also adapt it to capture smaller pet <\/span>paw prints<\/span> from a hamster or guinea pig.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pay a Visit to <\/b>Santa<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Pet<\/p>\n

Kids love visiting <\/span>Santa<\/span>, but they\u2019re not the only ones. If there\u2019s a pet-friendly holiday event nearby, see if you can take a photo of your four-legged friend with <\/span>Santa<\/span> himself. If that\u2019s not an option, you can always dress up as the big man yourself and capture a photo at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wear Matching Outfits<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another family photo favorite is to show up in matching sweaters or festive outfits, and there\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t recreate this with your beloved pet(s) too. Create a dreamy <\/span>dog holiday card<\/span> or a festive family snap with your cats in colors or patterns that match your own outfits.<\/span><\/p>\n
