Photographer's Kids

I know that I am behind on blogging about other people's kids.  But since Christmas season shooting is finally over for me, I brought my own kids up to the studio for a change.  I haven't photographed them for a "full" session since... well... I can't even remember.  Mac has been begging me to "take pictures" and so I told him that if he'd help create MY vision, I'd photograph him however he wanted.  So he helped with some of the posing on my Christmas card session portraits, and then brought an extra outfit for his own.  I let him set up whatever he wanted, so he chose the wardrobe, chose the background, and then chose the props and poses for his own portraits.  He did a GREAT job.  We also photographed Charlotte on the dark background even though he says he knows that it is "mixing keys" because she has a lighter outfit on a darket background.  Ahhhhhh, photographer's kids.  ;)  So here are my little monkeys in their Christmas jammies.  See if you can guess which one of the Christmas card images Mac was in charge of posing.  And yes, Charlotte is always like that.  It's one of the reasons we call her "Cheese." 

I am continually amazed at how much they grow and change and learn every single day.
