Dec. 13, 2010 — -- It's the holidays, a time when families gather to eat, enjoy each other's company and capture their time together with photos.

But what if you're the one whose photo subjects always have red eyes or their heads cut off?

Relax. You can change that.

Robert Clark, an award-winning photographer, visited "Good Morning America" to show the best ways to capture those wonderful moments with great photos -- even if you're using a cell phone camera.

Can red-eye be prevented? Clarke said many cameras today come with built-in red eye-reduction features. Red-eye tends to happen more on people with lighter-colored eyes because their eyes tend to open more in dark rooms to compensate and therefore reflect more light, he said.
