Oh I wish I would've posted these before the holiday since they are sooo very Christmas-y. But oh well. I've been so bad at getting over here the last two months. It looks like everyone must be a bit busy too, since we haven't had many postings!
I spent alot of time taking holiday photos this season. Mostly ones that didn't have people in them. I had so much fun just playing and trying to come up with creative ideas and carry them out to achieve the "vision" I had in my head. This first is from a series I did on peppermint candy. They were my favorits!

This next one of from a client session of all girl cousins. I was hired by their grandmas to take photos for her Christmas card. I have ones where all the girls are actually looking and smiling, but this is my fave. Their personalites really shine through here! I added the "grafiti" on the wall behind as part of the card design.

I love both of these pictures! On the one with all the children, do you mind me asking which lens you were using and what your settings were?
Thanks :)
