Well ladies and all goodmen…the Christmas season is upon us!  And we all know what that means….the annual Christmas pictures!  I’m sure you all assume that being that Genya and I are photographers, our walls are adorned with a plethora of family photos.  well…that would be an incorrect assumption…at least I’m speaking for myself! The problem is that when the big camera comes out…it means it’s not for just one shot…it become a session.  Lets just say that when my iPhone is in my hand my 2 yr old automatically assumes I’m taking his picture.  Poor kid is totally gypped…nor is he a fan of having his picture taken!  So today and tomorrow, Genya and I are putting our best foot forward in doing our own family’s Christmas pictures.  If you should think of us…say a prayer…shooting your own kids is never an easy task!  Not to mention, being on the other side of the lens, for us, might even be harder!

One bride who definitely had no problem being in front of the camera and made it look so easy was Kristen!  Genya and I had so much fun with her and Alex at their Rosemary wedding!!  Jennifer, from It’s A Shore Thing, worked her magic and the day played out perfectly…not to mention, any wedding with Jennifer is always a blast!!  We ADORE her!!

As photographers and coordinators, there are many things you can control, however nature is not one of them…along with SWARMS of dragon flies!  All Genya and I could think was that we were glad they weren’t birds…because out little black dresses would have become spotted with white polka dots faster that one could say “oh crap!”  And….I was in no hurry to reenact a scene from the film Birds!
