I hope everyone had a great Christmas! We had a great one this year. We didn't go crazy with gifts, tried to do minimal things. The boys had a great time and Brian and I enjoyed our morning as well. This is the first year Brian REALLY gets it. He left cookies and a carrot out for Santa and his reindeer. He also left a letter to Santa. Here it is:
Dear Santa,
Santa likes Brian. He delivers all the presents. Then he plays and makes snowmen. A penguin goes into the water. And he gets out. He jumps in the snow. I want a superhero bike and he gets a big hug and has fun. That's all the words. The End. Love, Brian
Oh! Tyler loves Santa too!
Classic, isn't it? Anyway - I have tons of photos to post - but again - I am trying to stay in order - so I thought I would post our Christmas Card (and a few clients as well). Ours was an accordion folded card on glossy paper. Because I am feeling so big and pregnant - it was just easier to take the photos myself this year of only the kiddos. I am a HUGE fan of having the whole family in the shot - so this will most likely be the only year we didn't take a "family" photo. Now I have to start thinking of ideas for next year! Any suggestions? :)

This one was different - we cut off an inch on the bottom of the front of the card - so you could see the Merry Christmas from the inside part of the card:

This was a tri-fold the front was of the little girl, then it folded out to the whole spread:

Family portrait photography session - our garden studio Newport Beach, CA

Family portrait Newport Beach
I LOVE this family! Brian and I did their wedding photos, maternity session, and now their photos with their adorable little one! She was a tough one to crack - but I think we got some great shots. Side Note - my favorite images of my own little B is an image where he is not smiling. Sometimes I think those are more precious than the "cheese" look you can sometimes force out of a kid. :)
