Man, photographing a 1 year old for Christmas cards isn't an easy feat! :eek:
It took several sessions to get a usable photo. First shoot went something like this.... Cam stand by the tree. No! do NOT rip balls off the tree! Stand and face Grandma. Stay there. No no no don't cry sweetie. Lets just say we didn't get any photos that time :p
Next time went MUCH better, except he wanted nothing to do with the Santa hat.

Grandma, I'm bored with this Christmas stuff!

After he was done ripping the hat off, he had a snack, which ended up in Nicki's tummy more so than his

Then he got used to it and actually sat with a prop (we needed the prop)
I really liked this photo

but a closer look reveals a smudged face (graham crackers sure are messy!)

I took this photos (which is what I used) without a flash, and was amazed at how crisp it came out. He actually sat still for two seconds! :eek:
