Christmastime with Family

Christmastime with family is by far my favorite (Thanksgiving is a close second).

Yearly traditions include an annual "pajama party," where participants are required to wear Christmas-themed pajamas, tree shopping with the Smith-side, Family Christmas the weekend prior and more.

This past weekend was the tree buying/PJ party...busy weekend.

Here are a few moments that I love (taken with my itty-bitty Olympus camera). Enjoy and please leave a comment if you'd be so kind. :)



This one's by far my favorite - my husband (left) in conversation with one of his closest friends, Nate. Dad in the background. Mood is just right - and epitomizes what I love about being with family and friends, the kind of friends that blur the lines of family.










Blessings,

Thank you for your recommendations!

Oh, my what a week!

It's the end of the year, and around this time we begin asking our couples for feedback and recommendations from their experiences with us. We've been blessed beyond words at what some of you have had to say.

Here are a few highlights:

My wife and I hired Christine to photograph our wedding and were ecstatic at the work that she produced. We loved the quality of the photographs that were taken and everyone who has talked to us about our wedding tells us how much they love the photographs. The editing of the photos was first rate. Friends of ours who attended the wedding have even been inspired to take photography classes taught by Christine.

In addition, her creativity and variety of shots were great.

Overall, I'd recommend Christine for any event you want photographed. Her prices are on the high end of the photographers we looked at, but the quality made it all worth it.

My wife and I chose Christine to shoot our wedding and engagement session in mid-2009 and the results were truly breathtaking! Not only is her work amazing but she is also a sweet and extremely friendly and understanding individual. Not once did we ever feel rushed or pressured during the months leading up to our wedding and on the day of...or afterwords during the album design process.

She will be our go-to person when we need a photographer for future family events and as well as be our first choice when a friend or family member needs help looking for a photographer.

Have a wonderful week! Merry Christmas!
