Today Ava Posed For Christmas Pictures

It's been a while since we've had a nice photo shoot. The last would have been for your 12-month photos

Tonight we wanted to take Christmas photos for use on our cards. Mom had some ideas she found on Pinterest and all started out well, we used cookies and milk as a bribe to get you to stay near the tree. 


The images are cute and with some cropping and slight retouching, they will be adorable. 

I lost count of how many cookies I ended up eating since they kept breaking apart from the constant dunking. You're lucky I'm willing to sacrifice for the greater good! 

After the mess was made under the tree we moved our set to the bedroom where mom had strng some lights across the headboard and put down white sheets. 

She wanted photos of you "reading" a Christmas book. You were quickly tiring out on us. We didn't get exactly what we were looking for but I think we got another cute shot or two. 


It must be noted that shooting of the above series of images was delayed for approximately 10 minutes as our subject - you - threw one of the ornaments and it smashed into another causing one to explode. 

Once cleaned up, our shoot continued, but your good mood was sucked up in the dust buster with the pieces of the ornament.



With an uncooperative subject this location was abandoned for one more go-round at the tree. This time mom draped your Minnie Mouse couch with a nice blanket and we tried to have you read again. 

The tomfoolery continued ... 



But, in a moment of weakness you did manage to give us at least one good one!
