Janne and I are way beyond that now.
We know we have remarkable children.
We subjected them to two photo shoots while getting ready to move. Actually, we used up the last two Saturdays before we moved to take Liam and Morgan to two different photographers for two completely different kinds of sessions. The first was one with them in a couple of really nice Nova Scotia tartan outfits that my friend Sandi had brought for them this past summer. That was a Sears Portrait Studio shoot, and you'll see few of those here some time in the New Year.
The second session was with a lovely woman who had her own company called Simply Enchanted, and was renting space in the local shopping mecca, Lime Ridge Mall, leading up to Christmas. She digitally adds the background after the fact, and I was impressed with the work she was doing with kids from the examples she had at her mobile studio.
The pictures you see here are obviously before the background was added, and I waited to post them until now, because I was under threat of something terrible happening to me in my sleep, since we had sent copies of the finished product to Janne's relatives in Denmark, and she wanted to make sure they got their copies before I spoiled anyone's surprise by posting them here.
Our children are very easy to work with, according to both photographers.
Apparently, as long as we have a camera pointed toward them, we'll be able to get them to finish their meals, go to sleep when they're supposed to, and not scream too much while Mummy and Daddy are trying to watch a movie or even have a conversation.
By the way, you can visit simplyenchanted.com to see some of the other work they've done.
We hope you have a terrific holiday, however you choose to celebrate this time of year, and for those of you who celebrate what we celebrate, have a very Merry Christmas.
