My recent blogs have been related to my love of photographing women’s fashion. Very few photographers limit themselves to one specialized area, and that includes me. I photograph weddings and other events, in addition to formal and informal portraits. As the holidays rapidly approach, many of us take the opportunity to update family and friends with photos of our immediate family. My wife and I were visiting our son and his family; they asked if I would take their annual Christmas photograph. When small children are involved in a photo shoot, It is a good idea to have everything set up including the lighting and camera settings. The attention span of very active, small children may not extend much past five minutes, so be ready. This is one of the photos from the shoot.
