Mom & Pop Photo Shop, Part Deux

Trying to take posed pictures of a less than 1 year old for Christmas cards is quite the...adventure.

Why can't I just put a picture like this in the card and be done with it?

Photobucket

It's Chrismassy enough!

Sunday morning found us viciously snapping away on the camera for the 15 minutes that Isabel was gracious enough to give us, before she gave us the hand.

Every model worth her snuff will have a personal assistant on hand at all times to make sure that her outfits (and her) are looking fab

Photobucket

And she also has quite a lot of opinions on how she thinks her shots should look like

Proper placement of props is also very important....

Photobucket

But all work and no play makes for a very dull Isabel, so she's sure to share a laugh now and then
(look at her one tooth!)

Photobucket

Hope that you have an equally adventurous, challenging, wonderful Christmas photo shoot!


Photobucket

May it be filled with wonder, joy, chubby cheeks to pinch and kiss, and laughter.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like...

Christmas!!

Photobucket

Both outside...

Photobucket

And in...

Photobucket

The stockings are hung...
(although none are named/embroidered...other than the dog's)

Photobucket

And this year, my husband bought poinsettias (Black Friday - 99 cents each...can't beat that)...I love the bright pops of red all over!

Photobucket

The tree will be up, hopefully tonight.

It's even going to snow tomorrow! Christmas time is definitely here in this household!

And what's Christmas without a little marshmallow puff...

Photobucket

Have a great weekend!

A Classic


Photobucket


Good thing Isabel doesn't get the concept of Santa yet -- because she's most likely to be on his "Naughty" list based on her encounter with him the other day.

It was hilarious how many people stopped and "enjoyed" her photoshoot at the mall -- she attracted quite a bit of attention with her loud wails.

I am quite tempted to use this as our Christmas card photo -- it's such a classic!

What Happens When...

A certain little girl steadfastly refuses to take a nap the whole entire day...

She fell asleep after 2 fistfuls of food, woke up an hour later, and proceeded to finish her dinner like nothing happened.
She is something else.
