In Pursuit of the Perfect Christmas Card Photo: a photo session

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

This year I am determined to send out Christmas cards! Every year I set out to do so but every year it just doesn't seem to get done. This year I planned it out early. I drive by this beautiful red barn every single day and I knew it would be the perfect spot to take the kid's photos. I stopped by the owner's home a few days ago to ask permission just to make sure it was ok with him. Luckily he consented. I didn't necessarily want a Christmas themed photo so I chose the kid's wardrobe accordingly. I found the girls' clothing on clearance at Target. I love how their outfits coordinate but don't match. I bought Hayden's shirt at Target as well.

The shoot went as I expected. The older two listened pretty well but all Ella wanted to do was run around. I knew she would be the Wild Card of the whole deal. In the end I got what I was after. You'll have to wait to see the card to see the shot I chose. For now, here are a few others that are cute!

  2. I love the shots! I'm not very camera savvy, but I have a good friend who is, so we just did a shoot with her in front of a log cabin, which is actually a place where plays are performed. I can't wait to get our cards out this year!
