Holiday MIni-Sessions

The weekend before Thanksgiving Hilary hosted the first annual Holiday Mini-Sessions using the location and props of friends as the background.  Of course it had to be one of the coldest weekends in November.  But it was fun for everyone and she had some great shots of families and individuals and small groups.

On Sunday afternoon Gary and I asked if we could stop by, just to see the location and the background settings that she and Blaine had orchestrated.  While we were there, she wanted to snap some pictures of us too.  We had not planned on having our pictures taken, and if we HAD, we would have asked five other people (AKA the grandchildren) to join us and we would have worn different clothes,  I never would have taken a picture professionally wearing a South Haven Michigan sweatshirt!

When she posted the pictures on her FB page, I was surprised that our two photos had 85 'likes' and five very nice comments.  Not bad for two people who just stopped by to see the backdrops, visit a bit, and check on how things were going.

Today I used one of the pictures to order photo Christmas cards from Meijer.  I haven't done that for a while, and I haven't done it with just a picture of Gary and me for quite a few years.  Usually there are pictures of the kiddos included.

I hope they turn out well.  Next year we will plan better and get a few with the kids also! But for now, Gary and I will have to do!

Merry Christmas!
