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.

These look great! I can’t pick my favorite! The expressions on the top one are priceless, and I love the 4th one, where one daughter is lying down. I also love the B&W - those are some creamy tones of grey. How did you do it?
Cute poses and solid processing, please please please don’t take this the wrong way, but if you get them to look up at you you’ll avoid that double chin look!
But I like the consistency from one photo to the next, that’s not something to understate.
Merry Christmas,
Great shots !
Enjoy the moment, while the children are young.
Went out last evening with my “kids” 32 and 30 , along with one husband and girl friend and my wife and as I was enjoying the company as adults, I was reminiscing about the fun “I had” with all the “toys” at Christmas when they were young.
Memory’s are gifts and photography helps capture those memorys for every. Enjoy !
Also thanks, for the visit and comment left on my site.
I loved all the pictures, especially 1 and 4. You have a very good looking family, they are such a happy group. The photography is good too!
