Default LOL A Christmas Miracle has occurred!
My two kids posed and smiled for me at the same time!!!

This is the pic we used as our Christmas card this year. You should see the outtakes - what faces, LOL! I was tempted to use one of those to show their true nature.

As always, thanks for looking and your comments always make my day.

Merry Christmas!

Love the lighting. Just curious, what was your lighting setup? (if you dont mind sharing)

Happy Holidays!

And Clint was this close to saying to the princess, "Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?" LOL, thanks Mike!

Thanks so much!

The lighting is my Alien Bee 400 with a 32x40 softbox 45 degrees camera right and a 32x40 reflector 90 degrees camera left.
