I saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause - 12-23-2009, 10:22 AM


I'm not in love with how these turned out, I think I hosed the lighting up. But I still think they are cute. The kids played along very well...even the new dog played well! We told them we were going to reenact the song and Daddy was going to play dress up!

Merry Christmas

That's really cute, April.. I think I like the last one best, even though it doesn't fit the title.

Also.. its a bit dark on my screen.. which is usually too bright.

Excellent concept and I think pretty-well executed.

They do look dark. And what's that on the wall near the top of the tree?

yeah, shooting that darn ol christmas tree was more challenging than I thought it would be too. Well, if I was just shooting the tree it would be a lot easier but trying to get enough light on your subject then also trying to get good exposure on the tree and make the lights twinkle. ARGH!!!!!
