We got inspired by our last post to get some Christmas Cards up for our clients so here they are hot off the presses and just in time for Christmas! We just have so many great images of all of you and it’s just too perfect to not have a personal Christmas card from your Wedding, Engagement, family or Senior Session! We wanted to do this last year but we were just not able to get to it.

These are samples and are up for grabs so if you see something you like, let us know and we can get you squared away. Don’t worry if you don’t see your photos in here – this is just a sampling of what we can do for you. There are so many great images for each of you we look forward to designing your card!

Look around and if you find a card you like then imagine your photos in there.
Just imagine what your friends and family will say when they open their Christmas Cards!

Messing around with some Christmas cards tonight….and some recent photos.

My niece Kyla…

Our friends The Johns 

Jayden and his dog Bruno

And a touch of the nostalgia….
This is my sister and me and my most favorite childhood Christmas present ever…my Patti Play Pal.
Isnt it so funny how Lorri and Patti are the same height.

Our father was a bit of a photographer and we have memories of him setting up his flood lights that hurt our eyes and taking forever to get his photos. Its funny as I look back now how much that ended up influencing my life! Funny how life is… oh and check out how their shoes match!

Side story to this picture: About 6 years after this photo we lost everything in a fire except for our cat and the clothes on our backs. Our parents were divorced by then so my father kept some of these pictures which was recently found in a book. I was so excited that I ran down to a local lab and had the negatives copied onto a CD so I could make prints and cards. This is one of the 8 pictures we found. I just love this one and I have another one I will work on this week as well and post up.

Edit: Day One was relaxing…Day Two was relaxing for Mark cuz he wasnt sitting in front of the computer all day but man did we COOK tons of food! We each took a station so it spread the work around which was sooo cool! I manned the turkey and the marinade and the stuffing while Brian and Lindsay manned the sweet potatoes. Mark got the house ready and did the last minute shopping cuz you never remember the butter!

Ben and Amanda are text book gorgeous and fun and laid back and super nice. I feel like I say this about all of our bride and grooms. Probably because I always do! We keep saying how amazingly fortunate and blessed we are to attract these great couples. We just connect.

Ben and Amanda put together a beautiful wedding and we just tagged along for the ride! Haha… It just went so smoothly and we so enjoyed ourselves. The wedding was touching with the most beautiful light shining down on them. When we arrived at the reception the air was filled with the sounds of a live jazz band from SF called Hale Baskin. It was a beautiful night at The Firehouse Restaurant. The courtyard with all the lights strung around the trees and the gorgeous fountain that graced the background for the beautiful cake was just stunning….okay enough of my words we’ll let the images speak now!

Enjoy!

We made our deadlines so tis a very thankful Thanksgiving! We have 2 albums coming up on our next posts as well as a family shoot. So, come back when you are munching on your left overs!
