Our 2011 Christmas Card

On Saturday, December 17, 2011, Beth and I set out to do the impossible: photograph our two girls and make a Christmas card in time for Christmas on the following Sunday. We dressed Paige and Ella in their Christmas dresses, placed them in the “Christmas scene” we had setup in my office, and I proceeded to shoot as many photos as I could while Beth posed them.

Eight-two shots later, we were still in surprisingly good spirits, and we were pleased with the results. The following day I selected one of our favorite photos and created a Christmas postcard. Next, I uploaded my file to VistaPrint, added all our mailing addresses, and completed our order. Much to our surprise, we’ve heard from many on our list that they received our card before Christmas.

Since our card only included one photo from the shoot, we wanted to share some more favorites, candids and bloopers (HINT: Click on any image below.
