From Amanda Rock, your About Parenting Editor
In the days immediately after Christmas, my kids and I will be hitting the road to visit family members in another part of the country. One of the participants in our mini-family reunion suggested meeting with a professional photographer so we could get a photo with all of the cousins and grandchildren. I thought that was a great idea.

Tips from a Professional Photographer
While we will take plenty of candid photos as a group, we feel like a professional photographer will do a good job in capturing us all while we look our best. Still, even with a pro at the helm, there are things you need to keep in mind while you are having photos taken of your kids. Professional photographer Joe Moss shares his tips for families with twins or multiples, that can also be applied to large groups.

Ways to Save on Family Portraits
Because there will be so many families participating in our photo shoot, it's likely that the costs will be high. Sure, we will be splitting everything, but even the prints can be expensive. Erin shares ways to take a great family portrait without spending a bundle.

Christmas Looks for Families
The next thing we have to consider is what everyone is going to wear. Should we match? Might be hard to do with more than 15 people who are different genders, ages, shapes, and sizes. Maybe complementary colors are the way to go. In any case, Michelle has got some great ideas for holiday outfits for everyone.

Before You Dress Your Child for the Holidays
The important thing about a holiday outfit, especially one that you are going to be photographed in, is that everyone is comfortable wearing it. Terri has complied a great list of things you should consider before you pick out that perfect holiday outfit for your kids.
