Christmas is ALLOVER in the air!!!

Ohh my! Do I ever love this time of year! My son's birthday party was this weekend. The fresh vanilla cupcakes smell competed with the pumpkin spice and apple cider candles. It was a nice, warm birthday atmosphere here. I have been in full swing with family photographs as well as Christmas shoots. My best friend from highschool, Andrea and I concocted a "Christmas Eve" photo of her girls. In bed, reading stories, sipping hot cocoa... I think they brought a good "story" to the picture. Those are the kinds of photos i really enjoy creating. The art of the photograph. But the real "be yourself" feels just as good, not posed, not thought out. Its the perfect mix. I LOVE the mix of feelings in the photographs. Tell me your thoughts. What do you think of the photo?
