Holiday Portrait Themes

Whether you send Christmas Cards or an annual letter update, family pictures help you tell your story to friends and relatives.  Here are two different approaches I helped produce this year. 



Eric, Linda and daughter Sydney wanted to send a printed picture card greeting that told friends and relatives “this is what we look like and how we are doing today”.  We met in nearby McDaniel Farm Park for a photo session.  gwinnettparklife.com/parks/mcdaniel-farm-park/       







McDaniel Farm, a new location for me, is 128 rural acres hidden in suburban Gwinnett County, GA. It was a cotton farm and now is restored to depict a typical 1930’s subsistence farm.









The park offers diverse terrain, buildings and vistas where we took advantage of the last colors of Fall 2013. Admission is free. 










Taking a completely different path, I worked with another group of folks featuring costumes from  their production of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”.  















While we were shooting cast pictures for the Christ Church Players  ccn.episcopalatlanta.org/ , three actors asked for poses to created unique digital Christmas greetings.


Sue portrayed Mrs. Fezziwig, the wife of Scrooge’s  mentor.













Betsy was a Fund Raiser who visits Scrooge before his weird dream, and Walt was a chatty Merchant in the vision of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.  They brought their dogs, Princess Dawg and Prince Michael, to the session.                                                     Their big decision was this:







tongue in or tongue out.
