Here it is just one week to go until Christmas Day and I finally got the tree up and the strength to attempt the Family Holiday Portrait with my pack of 3. I have to say it went much better than I thought. We went to Disney over the weekend and purchased matching Mickey Holiday Head Gear – very cute with the ears. At 8 p.m. with the promise of holiday cookies to eat after the session if they were “good” – I started snapping. I gave up using the tripod after 5 minutes along with all hopes of making the cover of “Your Life is Perfect’ magazine. I used my new Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens and I was all over the place – but mostly on the floor. We had loads of fun as you can see in the crazy faces of my children. I have no idea why Aidan chose this particlar photo session to premier his newest crazy smile. Oh ,but the twinkle in those eyes hasin’t changed one bit! I think I captured the spirit of the evening – but most importantly the beautiful, warm, and still innocent spirts of my three beautiful children. Thank you my darlings – Madison, Rowan, and Aidan – I love you so much!
Just a quick note about the pictures – I processed entirely in Adobe Lightroom.
