This is the first year that I have attempted to capture our own Christmas card pictures on my own.  I’d originally thought I would bring a tripod and my remote triggers and set it up, arrange us nicely and grab a wonderful family photo, but Mommy’s bad hair day, Daddy sleeping in until noon and a frigidly cold day with a short-sleeved sweater dress all put a damper on the family photo.  Sigh.  Maybe in warmer weather, on the beach, before we leave our lovely nook of the world in May.   Anywho, these are the types of faces I get these days when I try my hand at portraiture.

In her defense of the odd faces, it was actually really cold.  Really. Cold.
