I have a box of Cornett Christmas card goodness on its way to me right now, and if I am able to figure out how to print labels from my address book on my computer (I don’t remember what didn’t work last year, but I ended up writing them all by hand, and we’ll just say there are more than ten people on the list, plus my handwriting is only marginally better than Andy’s, and calling his chicken scratch is being kind), they’ll be delivered before Christmas. And for me, that’s something I can feel good about.
Of course, getting my own children in front of the camera takes some hard work and persuasion (they are happy for me to shoot soccer games and ballet recitals, but just them? Not so much.). And bribery. I promised that I would take some pictures of them with our new “puppy”. “Puppy” would be because he’s bigger than my youngest, and possibly bigger than both of the girls at this point. Having the dog along just made life a little more interesting. Overall, they were pretty cooperative, and I love the Christmas card I designed, which I will show you on the blog after they’re sent out. I thought I’d share some of the outtakes with you.
Can you even believe the molars on our dog? Yikes!
beautiful light too… just perfect. 
So true that this happens to so many photographers. These photos are great. Such a great looking family!
