Christmas Photo Shoot
November 29, 2009 9:04 pmWe did our Christmas photos with our amazing friend and photographer, Emmy. She came up with this amazing idea to do little stars on chalkboard cloth that I got at Harts. I made these outfits for the girls just for the shoot and for Christmas.
Isabel’s was red silk tiered with a red silk bow.
Ava’s was different shades of pink silk, chiffon and cotton sateen.
Cuddling Ava.
Loving sisters.
Giselle’s was ruffle upon ruffle of pink and coral jersey.
This was the outfit I made for myself. It is a peach colored, high necked shirt with pleats and a linen paper bag waist skirt with deep pockets. ( this was one of my new designs and I have it coming in a real photo shoot soon!!)
And here is my sweet husband and I.
And here is our sweet friend we owe it all to. I know you’ve seen her amazing blog, Grieving Gracefully. Take a look for some beautiful words and stunning visuals that imparts wisdom far beyond her years.
Now, just trying to choose which one for our card. Any favorites????

This will be a hard choice, so maybe consider doing a collage! So many good ones!

Your family is gorgeous! My personal favorites are the ones of you all laying down. There's a certain candid spark in them that tells a story. And it's very compelling!
Good luck selecting!

These photo's are so awesome! Such a beautiful family too! I like the 1st one of the whole family, and the last one. All the photo's are so good though.
My 3 girls and I, have spa day and paint are nails often… Lol
Having 3 girls is so much fun!

I loved the chalkboard cloth as a backdrop – very artsy and simple! And the photos turned out beautifully… I especially liked the one of your two elder girls kissing the baby, and the b&w ones of your whole family, and of you & your husband. Such love =)

The clothes you sew are simple, unique, and elegant. The girls skirts and your outfit is tremendously adorable. I am going to make a version of that paper bag linen skirt! I can't wait to try sewing clothing this spring when I have more time!

My most favorite of your family is the black and white in which you are all laying down. Super!
They're all fun though. Love the one of the three girls where your littlest girlie is getting a group hug & kiss.
The outfits are adorable…love the little details & colors.
You're an inspiration!

My fav is the one with the two girls kissing their baby sister. So precious!
For a family card though, the one with you and your husband sitting and the two oldest on the floor would be fab.
