Merry Christmas!

What do you do when you're short on time, it's raining constantly outside, and you need to take a Christmas picture? You go to Spotlight, buy two and a half meters of black fabric and make your own photo studio is what you do! Or at least it's what we did. I did several test shots with just the kids - as you can see, they got a little wacky. I like the last picture of me better, but if you look closely (and I always do) you can see the effects of me leaning sideways over the camera to check the shot before jumping in - my hair is flipped the wrong way over my head. I didn't realize that until I was editing the pictures. I subjected my poor family to a second round of shots and the second to last shot in the post was the one was the best we got.

You did a wonderful job on the photos, Gina! Is there any chance we could get the top two individual ones of the kids in color?

Gina Marie said...

Thanks, but cannot have lah! I shot them in black and white. The latter photos of our whole family I shot in color.

Can have! Those pictures are really great, but where did you all get white polo shirts? Did you just have them?

Wow Wow Wow!!! I'm really impressed. Those look SO GREAT!!!

Chris - Yeah, Erik has on his polo from work (child cleverly placed to hide the logo). Ethan had his white polo I bought for church, and Megan and I just have white t-shirts on. I've found for the kids it's always good for them to have one white t-shirt for stuff.

You can have the pictures in black and white of course, but not color. They do not exist in color.
