Tis the season!

I can't believe it but it's that time of the year again! Everyone in the holiday spirit (or should be) and children getting excited about Santa and Christmas. I took a short break from assignments for school to go over to a friend's house and take some portraits of her beautiful family. Pictured to the left is her daughter looking up at the tree and decorating. For most families, it's a big deal to finally put up the tree and decorate it. It's the sign that's it finally the Christmas holiday. I think that's what holiday portraits should be all about. I went over to their house in their element and shot candids and a few posed. I shot a few on BW film and I can't wait to see how they turn out. It was a nice break from the chaos of getting all of my assignments in for school.
Tuesday my "Word" assignment is due for Chuck's class. We were given a list of words and we had to shoot a picture that immediately demonstrates the word. I picked the word "tight" and the word "loud". For my tight shot, I had my niece pretend to try to put on a tight pair of jeans. For the loud shot I had my son holding his ears while Charlie screamed at him. I have to print those tomorrow. Shooting my depth of field assignment today.
So on that note, I wish everyone happy shooting for the holidays and remember to capture the holidays as they should be: happy, joyful, and loving.
