Four-legged friends

Together, they rule the roost. If you have a pet at home, make baby’s first Christmas photo even more special by including your furry friend in it too. (via Brit + Co)

Christmas came early

Traditionally stockings hang over the fireplace at Christmas, but they come in pretty handy as a baby holder too. Pick up a stocking personalised with baby’s name for this photo and you’re ready to go. (via Sarah Jordan Photography)
