Just Because: Dave and Melissa + kids

Whew! These are l-a-t-e!

I took these pictures back in December when Melissa sent me a message asking about family pictures for their Christmas cards. I said "no problem!" but I was freaking out a little, thinking "Christmas cards? How do I take family pictures for Christmas cards?!"

Weird. I know.

A lot of my clients use their family pictures for Christmas cards and I'm pretty sure that registers in my brain when I'm taking the pictures, but this time around my brain had a meltdown or something and I got all panicky. I tried thinking of some extra cute Christmassy stuff to add in and though those things went well enough, things went better when I switched gears back to "me". Normal me. Where I direct a little and let things happen and catch the fun moments.
