The Holiday Season at PictureMommy Photography is in full swing. I am finalizing Holiday Cards and editing like a crazy woman. I am so happy with how the Holiday Cards are turning out, adorable!

On Thanksgiving I took some time to get Holiday shots of my kiddos. I have a new appreciation for the prep work families put in to dressing and coordinating themselves before our shoots! I had a grand plan in my head. Ellie would be in a cream shirt with a cute little cream and tan stripped jacket. Megs would be wearing her “2″ t-shirt (her birthday was on Thanksgiving) with a long-sleeved shirt underneath it. Ellie would be in a denim skirt with leggings and Megs would wear jeans. I could go on and on about my “vision” but it doesn’t really matter because it was utterly foiled.

Both girls ended up wearing the shirts I wanted…but that was it.  Any cute layering I had planned was thwarted by some equally cute (but not as holiday-card appropriate) $6 polka dot fleece jackets from Target in various shades of pink and purple. But, what’s a mom to do? It was Thanksgiving and I didn’t want to make anyone cry (least of all me). Here is what the girls thought about any plan I had…

Thanks ladies, please have pity on your mother as you become teenagers. Oh, I forgot that Meggie refused to put her hood down for the first 1/2 of the pictures.

My family holiday shoot debacle aside, I still have a few openings for anyone looking for last minute holiday pictures. I was thinking I can do holiday shoots up until Wednesday, December 17th to reasonably have the images back in time for the holidays.

Also! If you have a picture you have taken and would like to put that into one of my holiday cards just let me know. You don’t have to do a photo session with me to order your holiday cards from me.

Hope you are having an awesome Holiday season so far. Enjoy!
