Who:  Josh (Dad), Cindy (Mom), Caroline (4), Annaliese (3) and Millicent (1)

Location: Dilapidated barn in downtown Bryan, Texas

Props: None


Comments: I really wanted to go away from the traditional reds/greens or autumn colors that most Christmas cards seem to have (mine included)!  When I saw the darling sweater that Annaliese has on in the Garnet Hill catalog, I was SOLD on pink and grey.   

Designer: Sarah Giles Burns of Butterfly Chaser Photography (printed at Overnight Prints)

Photographer: Sarah Giles Burns of Butterfly Chaser Photography

Favorite Thing: I love the big girls playing with each other while Josh watches them.  I also love that we did a two sided card that allows for a lifestyle shoot that shows off my family's personality, yet also allows for a true family portrait. 


***********************************

Katy's Thoughts: I love that Caroline and Annaliese are snuggled close nose to nose like sweet sisters should be. I LOVE that this showcases how awesome a picture can be even if no one is looking at the camera. 

Cindy's Thoughts: See above! :)
