Today I got the kids dressed and we headed outside for the annual Christmas Card Photo Shoot. I had visions of last year and was determined not to let my quest for the perfect shot squelch all the fun out of playing in the leaves and letting the kids just be themselves. It went pretty well.
I did have a few ideas in my head that I wanted to get on film, but between the rustling of the leaves, many distractions, and the fact that Savannah still can’t hear a darn thing…well, I did get a little loud a few times, shouting directives. All in all though I’d have to say it was a lot of fun. The biggest challenge I faced were all the shadows from the trees. Thank goodness for photo editing software!
Jeremy had wanted a family picture to go on our cards this year. I had a plan for that one too, but it has fallen through due to the fact that the few times the 4 of us could take it and my sister (the one who was going to take it) was available, somebody was sick. And now, with it being the week of Thanksgiving, I am just cutting it too close. I still have to order the cards, they have to make them and send them to me, then I have to address them all. All of that by Christmas! Yikes!!! Maybe I should make them “Happy New Year” cards instead.
Okay so I’m off to figure out just which photo I like the best. Want to see all the great shots I have to choose from? Just click here for my favorites. It’s not going to be easy!
