This year for our Christmas cards I wanted to do something fun. My original idea was a family shoot with all of us out in the field with the cutest props I had been stockpiling. I won’t go into to much detail because I can still do it next year. 🙂 Anyhow, time got away from me. I was extremely busy with family photo shoots and throwing 4 Christmas parties before December 1st for the blog that I just didn’t have the time to style something the way I wanted. I had an idea to do something cute with the kids in Christmas pajamas after I found these adorable reindeer pajamas at Kohls but I knew my son would never go for it. He’s 15 and getting him to let me take his picture was a job in itself, then to ask him to put on some pajamas and send it out to everyone in my address book was just not gonna happen. Until…..
His report card came. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t what we agreed that it needed to be in order for him to continue playing basketball. We made a deal and he wasn’t holding up his end of the deal so he got grounded until he could bring his Biology grade back up. This was peak football season time and his high school team was undefeated going into the Semi-Finals. We were hosting a home game that weekend and he begged me….. “Please mom, I’ll do anything! Please, just let me go to the game.” So I said….
Anything?
Keep scrolling to see some of the adorable photos from this shoot and to see which one I choose for our Christmas Card!
To say I love these photos is an understatement, the look alone on his face is priceless and cracks me up just thinking about it. I will forever remember this session and the laughs that came from all of us as he was trying to hide. I teamed up with Shindigz for our cards this year and was so pleased with the quality. The colors looked true to my actual photo which is a huge deal for me as a photographer and the quality of the card stock was spot on. Swing by their site to see more of their designs and check out their sale right now offering 50% off.
