Making Memorable Christmas Photos

If anyone knows how to make their children crazy when it comes to holiday photos it is me.

My push for perfection and the best photos possible makes them cringe the moment they see my camera in my hand, but it doesn't have to be that way.

This year when trying for the "perfect" Christmas photo, shoot for imperfection. That's right, capture your children and family doing what they love - decorating the tree, making cookies, reading the Christmas story. Posed shots at great, but if you are looking for images to remember, think about your traditions and capture those elements.

The past few month Grace Scott Photography has kept me busy. I hope you enjoy some of the new photos I've uploaded. It's not too late to plan your Christmas setting. I've also started capturing a new element that I love, maternity photos. This is a great memento of your pregnancy and a great way to capture "baby" before he or she arrives. We will be following up the "R" Baby Maternity shoot with photos of the baby wrapped in ribbon as soon as he, or she, arrives in January.

Tune in for more moments turned into memories.

Blessings to you and yours this Christmas and Always!

My Family

You would think that my family would be super photogenic and love getting their picture taken. That is not the case. As much as I would for them to sit pretty, pose perfectly and smile just right, it doesn't happen that way. They are my practice people and they know it. Fortunately they enjoy taking photos of other people and things, so we get a nice compromise out of the deal.

The "M" Wedding

I had such a great time photographying this wedding. The couple was so much fun. I wish the all the best in the years to come. Thanks you two.

The "W" Family

These little boys were just too cute. You never know what to expect with kids, but they were ready with great smiles for our Fall Family Fun and Photo Day at ColorScapes.

Another session from our Fall Family Fun Day at ColorScapes. These girls were too cute, of course getting the youngest to look at the camera proved to be difficult.
