It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas---for Photographers anyway

Family pictures, Christmas cards, print orders for Grandma, and many other items are on your to-do list if you are a family photographer. If you are one of those crazy people that design your own cards, then you have even more to do. Let me help you out a small amount. Here is a free vintage candy cane paper download. It's high res at 3600x3600 so I hope you have some fun with it.

This was made especially for my Christmas card. I love candy-themed Christmas items so I thought this might fit our card perfectly.

Fall Colors

This was taken in our backyard at the end of September, which is the peak of fall colors around here. Notice the leaves by her head. The background looks on fire, but that is just yellow leaves hitting them in the late morning. I love having enough trees to shoot outside all day without worrying about squinty eyes.
