Choosing the Right Photos for Your Photo Calendar

A photo calendar, what could be better to celebrate the new year? This will be an opportunity to give a gift to your loved ones or to yourself.

But for an optimal result, make sure to choose the right photos for your photo calendar.

A photo calendar for whom?

Before choosing your photos, first decide who this calendar is for. Who is it intended for? A friend, your parents or yourself.

According to the recipient, the chosen photos will not be the same. You will therefore need to customize your photo calendar according to this person.

Lots of photos of their grandchildren for grandparents; photos of memorable celebrations for your super friend, photos that trace the little and big events of your family if this photo calendar is for you. In short, you will adapt the chosen photos to the recipient.

Portraits and more...

The calendar is of course the opportunity to highlight the most beautiful portrait photos of your loved ones. To illustrate their birthday month, choose a picture of your family members being celebrated.

To animate each of the 12 months of the year, think about alternating individual portraits, family ones and children's. Don't forget to slip in some quirky portraits of your pets.

For an even more professional result, you can also choose a theme for all your photos: everyone in red attire or in sportswear. In short, it's up to you to be creative!

Then transform a room of your home sweet home into a photo studio. You can ask a friend to come and shoot the whole family in the setting and theme you have defined.

Photos of vacations for escapism

The creation of a calendar is also the chance to repurpose your vacation photos. At the height of winter and the gloom, it will be a real pleasure to dive back into the landscapes and atmospheres of the holidays.

So mix your travel photos: a few landmarks, superb landscapes, some street scenes... Don't hesitate to also use the photos taken during the occasional long weekends that you have allowed yourselves.

Seasonal photos

When you choose your photos, think about harmonizing them with the month they illustrate.

Play on the seasons in the choice of your photos. For the winter months, choose photos taken in the snow, and for the summer months, photos by the sea. In short, match your shots with the months they are illustrating.
