One group shot or separate photos?
Use one group shot if you already have a picture with everyone in it. The people are already together, so there's less to piece together for your AI family Christmas photo. A clear phone photo from any time of year will do.

Use separate photos when your family is spread out or no good group shot exists. Upload 2 to 6 pictures, one for each person and one for the pet, with up to 5 people and 1 pet in total. Nobody has to fly in for an AI family Christmas photo, and nobody has to clear a weekend. Here's a quick way to decide:
- Everyone is in one picture already: use the group shot.
- Someone is missing from that picture: switch to separate photos, one per person.
- The dog won't sit for a group shot: use separate photos and give the dog its own.
- You have more than 5 people in separate photos: make one picture per household.
Choosing the right photos
An AI family Christmas photo depends on what your uploads show. Small or blurry faces give it much less to go on, and that problem grows with every person you add.

For separate photos, look for pictures that match: similar light, similar distance from the camera, everyone facing forward. Your AI family Christmas photo will hold together better if nobody came from a dark kitchen while everyone else came from a sunny beach. Run through this list first:
- Nobody is in sunglasses or half hidden behind a shoulder.
- Head and shoulders are clearly visible in each separate photo.
- The light is similar across all the pictures.
- The originals have no beauty filter, so grandma still looks like grandma.
- Each file is 10 MB or less.
Is an AI family Christmas photo right for you?
Some parents love a holiday card that took no wrangling. Others find AI family pictures fake, especially the ones where everyone looks polished and nobody looks like themselves. Both reactions are fair. We'd treat an AI family Christmas photo as a fun card or a fridge picture, and keep your real photos as the record of your year.

A booked session still wins if grandma wants a framed portrait. Cutting people out by hand in a photo editor can work too, if someone in the family enjoys spending an evening on shadows. An AI family Christmas photo makes sense when people are apart, time is short, or all you need is a card.
