Family Christmas Pictures

We are a little late in posting these Christmas pictures, but better late than never!  As a gift to our friends we took pictures for them for the holidays.  The shoot was actually very simple, and we used the combination of natural light from a large window and one strobe light set about 6-8 feet back from where we had everyone positioned.  This allowed us to light everyone but also get a glow from the Christmas lights we used in some of the shots.

Tiffany and Charles are always willing to pose for pictures.  If you look closely, you may recognize Charles as our werewolf from one of our Halloween photo shoots!





Did you notice the little stocking in some of the other pictures?  Tiffany is pregnant so this was a combination of holiday and maternity pictures all in one!

When shooting with little kids, you sometimes have to change your ideas on the fly.  The little boy was DONE with pictures and was not going to smile anymore so we abandoned our original idea.  Little changes can still make great pictures so don't get discouraged when photo shoots don't go exactly as planned.
