These are the shots I took for our Christmas card this year. Well, I didn’t take all of them. Hubby helped out. He took the shots of me. I was very excited to learn how to make my youngest give me a real smile instead of one like this:

Yep. That is his smile when I say, “smile.” I even tried it his way. When he pretends to take a picture he says, “pile.” That doesn’t work either. I had to go way traditional and tell him to say, “cheese” and it worked. I really love his goofy smile. In fact, this is the picture I printed big and chose to display in my home last year. I guess I should have told him to smile for his goofy picture. But, he has this thing he likes to do called “see my ew.” His “ew” is what you see when he pulls his face down from his eyes like that. So, I decided I needed to memorialize his “ew” and share it with my entire Christmas card list and now you, my blog reader.

Anyway, we have a great card that I’m very happy with. It’s too late for this year, but never too early to plan for next year! Custom photo holiday cards are great and people love to receive them. However, they aren’t just for Christmas. Birthdays, just moved, birth announcements are all great times to use custom photo cards. Let me know next time you have a special event you need to announce!

This is Brittney. She’s just gorgeous!! I had so much fun getting to know her and her adorable family. One of my favorite things about photographing seniors is scouting out new great locations. I try and find something new to do for every one. I was not disappointed! We found some very cool places to shoot and I had so much fun! Brittney, I hope you love your pictures as much as I do!

Anyone else, share this link on your Facebook wall, comment here to tell me about it and you’ll enter a drawing for a free mini session of your own.

I decided I needed to show a few more of her from that session.

OK. And I couldn’t resist one more totally cute one of her with her boyfriend.

Finally something new! Although, I do think my daughter is pretty cute, it’s time to get some new images up for you to look at. These lovely feet belong to Becky. She’s been dancing for about her whole life. She was very cool and had no problem walking around down town in her tutu. We had fun and got some great shots.

She dresses like a regular senior, too. Although she has a hard time just hanging in front of a camera. I had to tell her to go “off duty” and NOT show me those perfect hands and feet. She takes direction well and did a fantastic job.

Pick your favorite and leave a comment. If we reach 20, I’ll gift Becky with a free 5×7 print!

Thanks, Becky for a great session! Sorry it took longer than promised, but I’ll have the rest of your gallery up soon!
