If you can't get to a professional studio for your holiday portrait this year, all you need is a camera — even a smartphone — to do it yourself.
Turn those Christmas lights into a blurry light effect known as bokeh simply by manipulating the camera settings and positioning your subjects.
You can turn your photos into a digital greeting card or print them for remembrance.
Having portraits taken is a popular holiday activity for many families. But as people are limiting their travel outside and interactions with others, hiring a professional photographer or heading to the shopping mall may not be in the cards this year. If that's your situation, you can take your own family portraits at home with quality results, as long as you own a camera.
