That time of year again!!

So its that time of year again where I drag the family out and take the Christmas photo! They are usually pretty patient with me as I decide on poses and play with camera settings. This year was a bit chilly but i was dead set on an outdoor picture. I tried to do it on a day when the sun was shining and a bit warmer, but no one seemed to be available. So when we finally got around to taking them it was overcast and cold!! But I think the shots turned out great. I absolutely love them.That was our final shot. Since I usually take the photos myself I end up running back and forth as I set the self timer. Someone always ends up talking or falling or something right as the picture would snap! Our timing was hilarious! But sure made for some fun shots.

We even had a couple of just for fun shots which turned out pretty good too. Carrie was freezing the whole time due to having wet hair, but other than that they actually had fun for a change on one of my family "torture" shoots :)
