Our 7 minute photo shoot...

So...since we are on a tighter budget this year, we couldn't afford to do professional Christmas pictures as we like to do every year. We decided to take the pictures ourselves!!! We dressed teh girls up, curled some hair, pulled on the tights, spread a sheet on the floor, and tried. We were done in about seven minutes and have sent our "keepers" to be printed so that we can get our cards out. Here are some of the "rejects"......


Olivia by herself with my assistants leg and fingers in the shot. My assistant was attempting to lure the other child back into the frame. Check out the expression on Olivia's face. Oy. Mia would not sit still, as those of you that have dealt with 14 month olds, can most likely atest to. This would have been a great picture if it weren't for the nice view up Olivia's nasal passages.Mia was very interested in her headband - when she could take it off of her head. I'm sure that my assistant was telling her '"no", hence the looking of in the other direction.Mia thought it was fun to pull her dress up and show us all the lovely detail on the inside.Ah...and the best. Mia upset and running to Mommy for condolences.

You will all receive cards with pictures in the mail. In the meantime, I hope that you appreciate our hard work in getting a few nice pictures!
