In the past we have always gone to the portrait studio to do our photo for our Christmas card. However, we usually walk out of there with more photos than we know what to do with. This year I decided to put my skills and tripod to use and take our own photo. After much debate, editing and failed printing this is the photo was the one that ended up on our card.
There were a lot of testing and outtakes first.
Tested position with myself and the kids.
Had Nat test tripod position before his shower. Had to move that ornament by his left ear as it stood out too much.
Gracie smiling TOO big.
Retry that evening....the natives were restless.
Close...but Gracie's eyes were closed and the photo was too dark.
Still restless.
Talking too much.
Perfection.
Not following directions.
Gracie is our fiesty yet very loving brightly blue-eyed 5 year old. Since the day she was born she has done things or wanted to do things on her own terms. Her desire for independence helps her learn things much quicker than other kids her age and older. The only problem is that she is too small to do some of them. She loves to play with her older brother, her baby dolls and anything else Nat is playing with at the time. She is precious and is going to cause Daddy and Mommy many sleepless nights.
