(Yes, it was our turn in front of the camera!)

This year’s Christmas studio session was extra special — because it featured my own little family! I had already wrapped up a client session earlier in the day (which I may share later), but since we had some extra time left in the studio rental, my husband suggested we go ahead and grab a few of our own. And I’m so glad he did.

We were at a beautiful studio right in Madison, Alabama, which made the perfect backdrop for a mix of traditional and lifestyle-style Christmas portraits. Now full disclosure — these were definitely informal family photos (you’ll notice my rolled-up jeans and on clouds 😅). They capture us just as we are.

**I love this photo of our sweet girl because it shows her curious personality with those gorgeous blue eyes!!

Tripod, Baby, and Team Effort

Since it was just the three of us, we set up the tripod and used a timer, which — as you can imagine — made it a bit tricky to get our 7-month-old baby girl to look at the camera. After some trial and error (and a lot of giggles), we managed to grab a few sweet moments with all of us. Then we swapped out and each took individual photos with her — and of course that’s when she gave us all the good expressions!
