The first Christmas design on a bell-shaped glass ornament with your photograph. The bell is taller than it is wide, and for a first Christmas that proportion turns out to match the pictures people actually take.
Almost every first Christmas photograph is one of two compositions: a baby lying down, which is wide, or a baby being held, which is tall. The wide ones belong on a square. The tall ones belong here, because every other outline in the range would crop the head or the arms to fit. This shape takes a standing adult holding a baby without cutting either of them.
It narrows towards the top, so the upper corners of the photograph go. In an indoor picture that is ceiling, and in an outdoor one it is sky. Keep the subject central and reasonably low in the frame and almost nothing of value disappears.
Your photo is in full colour, so skin tones stay accurate, and the glass passes light and should be hung with a bulb behind it. The bell is the most traditionally Christmas of our outlines, recognisable in silhouette before any detail is visible, which suits an ornament that is going to be brought out every December for the next thirty years.
Send the highest resolution version of the photograph you have. This is the one ornament in the range most likely to be looked at closely long after the occasion, and compression that is invisible on a phone screen shows on glass. The middle size is where most orders land: the largest has presence but needs a tree to match it, and a first Christmas is often celebrated around a small tree in a flat where nobody has slept properly in three months.
If the photograph you have is a baby lying down rather than being held, the square version of this design will keep considerably more of it, and an octagon version is made as well. A heart version of this design marks a couple's first Christmas rather than a baby's.
The range runs to seven shapes. Heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone, paw. Build your own set rather than take a fixed one. Ten per cent off at two, fifty at fifteen. For a faded original, Colour Enhancement is $1.99 per image.
