End of Year Cheer!

Allison contacted me to do a family Christmas shoot. Frustrated with the limited time that portrait studios give you (not an uncommon statement) she thought that the kids would be moe comfortable in their own home for some family pictures. I'm finding family shoots are a lot like when I used to nanny, it takes a little bit for the kids to warm up to me but once they do we always end up having a great time. Little Taylor and Cayden were so cute and loved playing with my box of Christmas props!  I told Allison she has a future model on her hands as by the end of the evening Taylor was posing and smiling for me.

 Cayden was giggling and Taylor looked on in approval!
 Kevin and Cayden were having a blast
 I cannot express how much I love, love, love this photo. The happiness and laughter can almost be heard coming through this shot. With the tree glistening in the background, for sure one of my all time favorites!
 All smiles!
 The hat says it all...
 The magic of black and white is just as great for Christmas photos.
In the end as I was doing some final shots of the kids on the stairs I heard whimpers from Stormy above, I insisted she make the last family photo shot. She perked up and made a great center piece for the final family photo of the evening. Another enjoyable family photo shoot in the books!

I'm thankful and blessed for a great first year filled with many smiles and good times, and shoots with friends new and old. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and look forward to capturing your new memories in 2011!!!
