Parker's first Christmas card

[Katie, John & Parker pup]

So I am definitely a amateur with my photography but I wanna do a Christmas photo of Parker for our Christmas cards this year! We live in a tiny apartment so it isn't like we have a beautiful fireplace as a background and the outside is a parking lot with bare trees so not exactly scenic! Anyone have any simple ideas I could do to make my photos look less "cheap"

Here are some of our practice shots! Someone had told me they used to use Christmas lights and scatter balls but with the limited space we have and junky backgrounds...not sure they worked out either! lol

Love your photos.  I just hope I can get as creative.  I love taking photos, but my "eye" is not the best.  Guess I need some lessons!

I can't believe how Parker Pup tolerates all of the stuff on him and around him and how his stood so still.  I looked at the "post" processing work everyone was doing and it is so creative what can be done.  Looks like you will have some adorable choices.

Oh my doodle some of these are so cute and I for one would love to get a Christmas Card with any of them.  My fav is the 3rd one only because my real fav it the 4th - the one with the funny face and tongue out that I know you wouldn't use - but I LOVE it!!!
