Christmas Cards

This year I had the pleasure of shooting and designing 2 families Christmas cards, as well as ours.

The first shoot was for a MOMS Club friend of mine. You'll remember Blake from his 2 yr old session this summer. While he really didn't want me to take his picture this time I did get a few cute shots of him and his brother Tyler.

The card was made using a few templates I downloaded from a photography forum I frequent. I ended up using elements from to different templates and making my own layout.

The next shoot was for my cousin Annette. I've been shooting for her little guy Cody since he was a newborn. Some shoots go well... others not so much lol. But I'm pleased to say this shoot was a success! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to live up to last year's shoot but we definitely got some good ones this time.

and finally there's our card:

and back. I used a bunch of different templates and embellishments on this one. Changed colors and textures and just went pretty crazy lol. I've gotten great responses from our friends and family and am pretty happy with all "my" cards this year. Maybe next year I'll pick up a few more customers ;)
