…a week late…but better late than never, right?
Shooting wide open to get the glow of the lights

I showed Mike some pictures of Christmas trees taken by professional photographers off of a message board I frequent. He informed me that there was no way they could have taken shots so pretty and that they were “stolen” from the front of Christmas cards. I asked him how they got on the front on the cards in the first place and he didn’t have much answer for that. I figured if I could replicate the look with no training and amateur equipment, surely the pros were capable of pulling it off bigger and better.
Regardless, I’m pretty proud of the pictures I got!
Getting Matthew ready to have pictures taken…
Who me?!?
Not in focus but pretty darn cute, if you ask me!
