This baby was beautiful and so nice to photograph. The stocking was fun, but we did some non-holiday shots as well. Here are a couple.

I don’t want to leave Dad out. He’s a huge Illini fan.

Yes, my youngest son does have two hands. The sleeves were too long. It’s hard to catch those things when you’re in front of the camera rather than behind. Also, my middle daughter does smile…on occassion. She was mad because I made her wear that white shirt. This picture was ok. I was happy with it then. But, as I grow in my photography, I begin to see things that bother me about old pictures. I decided it would be too hard to get a full group picture the way I wanted it. Plus, we’ve moved and I don’t have the giant windows available to me now that I did then. So, I decided to do three smaller group shots. Here are the results:

This one, I’ll admit, I had a little help with. I set everything up, then had my oldest daughter push the button.

While I wasn’t up for using the timer for a full family shot, I did get one of all the kids together.

Then of course, I had to create a Christmas Card with my beautiful children on it to send to family. Here are the front and inside of the card:

There’s still a little bit of time left. If you would like to schedule a Christmas card session, let me know! I can just get you in in time to have your cards before Christmas, but there are only a few days left!
