So the Christmas portraits in our house this year. . .well, it’s a long story. Let’s just say I now have a new perspective on what my clients go through.
I was going to say more, but I’m going to leave it at that.
Ahem…
I did get a few shots of my kids before giving up entirely. We had some technical difficulty. There was no reshoot. Cutting my losses.
Here’s my dapper dude. He’s actually been willing to pose for me lately. It’s a new phase. I’ll take it!
And here are his muscles. ..
And his handsome smile. ..
And then we have number two. ..
Who would only sit while holding a car.
I love them laughing together.
And laughing at my assistant (AKA “Daddy”).
And the “money” shot for the Christmas card.
Then I pushed my luck to get “just one more”. Lollipop and all.
My model adjusting his tie for me.
I love this little rocking chair. But it takes quite a bit of abuse!
The cheesiest cheese-smile yet. He gave us this one for his pics with Santa. Cheese dog!
Merry Christmas from our house to yours!
This was a pretty nice way to start off! Hello world. How are you?
Love those sweet fingers.
Wrap you up like a little egg? Don’t mind if I do!
Sweet little aviator hat.
He was just the absolutely most perfectly squishy little guy.
This hat is too adorable–and one of Mom’s Etsy finds. It was nice to talk about my love of all things Etsy. And Pinterest!!! During the session!
This was a new little hat I got recently from a favorite vendor. I really like this little gnome/elf/pixie style. And if anyone can explain the difference between an elf, gnome, and a pixie I would love to hear it!
This was one of my absolute favorites from the session. Just love how he is so awake and checking it all out.
He’s such a doll. Love!
Here was big sister looking for Elmo in the lens. She was such a trooper for a long session!
What a great big sister! Lots of sweet kisses for little brother!
It was such a treat to work with the whole family as well.
See! More sweet kisses!
Before you ask, no, this is not my rug. It’s the clients’ but I want one!!!
Love these sweet toes together. Really one of my favorite images from the session.
Thanks again for letting me into your home and sharing your family with me! Enjoyed the session tremendously! Merry Christmas!!!
(Yes, I am already planning NEXT Christmas’ outfits. Truly, I should be a little more concerned about this year’s considering a certain 4-year-old wore his Christmas shirt to school and painted without a smock and Shout did NOT get the stains out! LOL!)
Her dress was breathtaking. Think they make that in my size???
And a sweet cousin met them to round out the day’s cuteness:
That tie just cracks me up! I love it!
And the whole gang together. . .
Finally these two sweethearts again. Love the expression!
Thanks again for a fun holiday session! Can’t wait to see you all again!!
I love this image of the family.
And one more of Mom and her girls:
I’m always amazed at how much we can get done in a mini-session. I mean, really? 30 minutes flies by but we can still do plenty!
