The holiday season is finally here, and while it may seem the same as last year -- same twinkly decorations lining the stores, snow dusting the ground and carols playing on the radio -- there’s one new thing that guarantees this year will be one of your most special yet: a bouncing, chubby-cheeked baby. The holidays are about to get a whole lot brighter (and, yeah, a little more sticky and stinky, too -- but it’s all well worth it).
Because nothing’s cuter than a baby showing off his or her seasonal spirit, we’ve partnered with Tiny Prints to bring you clever and creative ways to capture this merry milestone for your holiday cards. Score some photo shoot inspiration from these adorable ideas.

And don’t overlook the tried-and-true: dress your little one in a “Baby’s First Christmas” onesie to make it crystal clear that it’s his or her very first holiday season. It’s a memory you’ll want to save, so why not spell it out?
