For the first time ever (yep, you heard that right) my family all agreed to let me harass them for the morning in an attempt to get some legitimate family Christmas pics.  Deep down there’s this little voice in my head saying “if you can get this motley crew together for ONE good picture then you’ve served your purpose on this Earth as a photographer”, and I figured it was time to oblige (Just kidding.  We really aren’t too shabby when we try 🙂 ).  And of course, in the spirit of being fair, I had to post a little blog of us in all our glory.  I mean, I do a pretty good job at putting everyone else’s cute faces all over the internet, I think it’s time to humiliate my own family for once.

Let me just preface these by saying that a dog in a yard full of squirrels, a very ambitious Thanksgiving morning cook of a mother, a fix-it-all stepfather, and my lovely sister (I’ve learned by now when to suck up) make for a very interesting, whirlwind morning of shooting.  Here we are. Don’t judge.
