Family Photos in 45 minutes!

Although I thrive under pressure, this photo shoot took the cake! I had less than an hour to wrangle three kids and a dog for pictures fit for a Christmas card. And just between you and me, I had just started learning to shoot in anything but auto mode. Oy.

Did I mention that it was freezing out? I made these poor children sit on an ice-cold rock for this shot.The kids were troopers though and even let me do some individual shots before running back inside to warm up!

Give me two hours next year and some sweaters and I promise it'll be golden. ;)

1st Newborn Photo Shoot

Here we go! First up is my and everyone else's favorite. Who can pass up a bum in a hand? I can't.

Next body part, feet. Feet have a very short period of time to be considered cute. Soak it up while you can.
I suppose the face deserves some face time too.
And the smile... Thank god I caught the smile...Simply have to to see the rest of this sweet baby's photos? Don't fret, they can be found here. :)

Thanks for watching.
