My best friend Dana was struggling to find outfits for her family pictures a few months ago. She had stopped by my house on the way home from a shopping trip to show me the few items she’d found. As an aside she pulled out these superhero shirts she’d picked up on clearance for the three youngest kids — not really family picture worthy, but they were a good deal. Then we had an AHA! When life gives you lemons (or superhero shirts) why not make lemonade, right?! So we tracked down tees for the rest of the family on Amazon.com (She-Ra, Captain America and Wonder Woman), and called it a day.
I must say, for an after thought, their family pictures turned out to be some of the cutest ever:
I’m telling you, photographer Erika has a gift! (Remember she did this shoot and this one.)
These pics were begging to be made into a fun comic-book style card, and I was more than happy to oblige:
My favorite is the photo on the front — it totally looks like her little boy may very well be thinking “Dad is SO Awesome!” Plus the comic bubbles on the back were a fun way to share tidbits about their life without writing a long letter. Super fun — right?!

BJ-You are the best. I love this card! Don’t think I’ll ever have a card this amazing again. You have a gift as well my friend!!! love ya!
This is the best card. It will be hard for anyone to ever top it. The family is beautiful. The poses are terrific. And the card design is brilliant. It all comes together for a “super” perfect card.
This is by far the most creative card I have ever seen!! You all did an incredible job!!
I love it! Where did you find the perfect background? It gives the impression of clouds.
I thought the same thing about the background looking like clouds — it’s too perfect!
I too loved the outfits and the fun idea! It was such a fun photo shoot for me. And I absolutely loved the card! Great job!
How much would you charge to make something like this for my family’s holiday card? We’ve got a great photo of us you could use all dressed up as the avengers.
I love it! We were the super hero family for Halloween and I’ve been looking to make a card just like this. Where or how can I do it?
Hi Crissy, I used Adobe Photoshop to create the front side of the card. For the back I first use an iPhone app called ComicBook! to create the comic strip. Then I exported it to Photoshop to put the border around it and finish it up. If you don’t have Photoshop you may be able to create something similar just with the app. More info on the app here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/comicbook/id436114747?mt=8
