Christmas
Monday, December 27, 2010 at 12:41AM This was attempt #1 of taking our family Christmas photo the day after Thanksgiving. I had an element of surprise in my bag of tricks to aid in the dutiful toddler photo shoot. The girls' dresses were "Dollie and Me" - there was a dress exactly like theirs for a doll. I didn't dare show them until they were all dolled up and standing on the backdrop. Ha! it backfired. They were not the slightest bit interested in the Fancy Nancy dolls that looked exactly like them. They wouldn't step A FOOT on the backdrop... even with AJ coaxing them. Sooooo, AJ and I showed them just how cool it was to get Christmas photos taken...
THIS is photo shoot attempt #3. Yes, I got the girls all dolled up THREE DIFFERENT TIMES to take Christmas pictures. Little stinkers sure did stress me out to the max! On the morning of St. Nick's day, presents piled high at the front door in their shoes, Margaret and I decided to give it another "shot" and use the gifts as bait! I didn't let them open any gifts UNTIL they had their pictures taken... ACCEPTABLE pictures to boot;)
After breakfast, once again, dressed them up and attacked with a new plan... DIVIDE AND CONQUER. Margaret kept one girl upstairs while the other was down in the studio. Worked like a charm - dangling chocolate and unopened gifts in front of them;) hee hee The images I captured were worth every (black-mailing) cent!! The red looks incredible on metallic paper!
And some fun stuff...
