Is it Christmas yet?

October 6, 2019

I love Christmas. It really is the most wonderful time of the year, for me anyway. I love the weather, the colors, the traditions and decorations. I even love how the air has this distinct smell and feel. Have you ever noticed that? If you haven’t, stop this year and pay close attention to a winter night. You’ll know what I’m talking about.

Having had my first child in March of this year (2019) I am the most excited about this Christmas. It’ll be Grayson’s first Christmas and I am so excited for all the new and old family traditions that Kyle and I are going to share with him, one being, of course, a Christmas family photo! But why in October? Well, did I not mentioned that I LOVE Christmas? I just couldn’t wait to take his photos to make Christmas cards to send to family and friends.

Even though it sounds crazy that I went ahead and took our holiday photos a few months too soon, I’m glad I did. This shoot had to be perfect, so I had to have time to planned it out. I wanted to keep it simple in order to make him the main focus so I went with an all-white background and some Christmas trees. The twinkle lights were added to give warmth and a magic feel to the images. But once Gray was added to the set, everything came together. It was simply magical, much like Christmas Day.
