A Christmas Card . . .

Lace asked me to take a few photos of my favorite subject in hopes of making a great "Christmas" card . This was the winning shot ! Such pure, unfiltered JOY.



BUT this one was pretty cute too . . . it was not easy to pick the best shot.

And just so you don't think I only take photos of Tate . . . a friend asked me to take a few shots of her favorite guys. I would love to have taken this little angel home. . .


I found that older children are not as easy as the babies. This young man was like... "enough already". My tip , for getting a great shot . . . TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES !



Is this what I have to look forward to ? Christmas Card 2016 . . .

  4. Love all the photos, but so precious of your little Tater-bug and his sweet and au natural smile which I believe they call ... a Duchenne Smile in photography? The latter you would know more about than me, but as a Mother browsing through old photographs I've learned; it is not wise to teach your child to say 'cheese'. :) -Brenda-

  5. Great pictures...all of them but my favorite is the first one of Tate ~ so adorable. I totally agree with you that the best way to get a good portrait is to take lots and lots and lots of pictures...thats one of the things I love about my new camera it allows me to do that very easily. (-:

  10. Your little grand is such a darling little fellow! Soooo cute! It is difficult to take photos of older children, every time I try to, they start posing and that destroys it every time.
