As Christmas time approaches, I’ve had so many families talk to me about taking Christmas card photos for them that I’ve had to start turning them away!  Most of them are people I know from other shoots I’ve done, and it’s fun to catch up with them again.

The Plahns, Wilkes, and Clancys are no exception.  I’ve photographed them all before for various things, and they’re all fun-loving, outgoing, and selfless groups. Put them all together, and you’ve really got a fun bunch!

First, the Wilkes:

The Clancys.  Last time I took photos of them was on their wedding day. Now they’ve got a beautiful baby girl!

And finally, the Plahns!  By the way, if you’re looking for hair wax in your school colors, Eric’s your guy.

How much fun can a bunch of kids have with a shopping cart left in the park?

…or a bunch of adults and a shopping cart, for that matter…

Can you spot the newlyweds?

I love this lighting.

Thanks, Plahns, Wilkes, and Clancys, for asking me to shoot your family photos!  I laughed so hard going through all these photos, remembering the stories behind them all.  Hopefully your Christmas card recipients will enjoy them too!
