What photos will you be taking for Thanksgiving?

I plan on photographing small details, faces, and the entire table. This is the year I get a photo of my husband, his dad, and Ian, a long over due photo.

Here’s my Thanksgiving shot list — and you can download a printable pdf of it for your own inspiration: Katrina Kennedy’s Thanksgiving Shot List.

1. The kitchen before cooking begins
2. Pie ingredients
3. Pie before entering the oven
4. Pie from above
5. Pie from the side
6. Fresh cranberries

the can)
8. The green cranberry dish (a family heirloom)
9. The table set, ready for everyone to be seated
10. An individual place setting
11. Place markers
12. Candles
