Photo Shoot - 2007 Christmas Card Photo

For the past couple of years I have created my own Christmas Cards for family and friends, and now it's kind of a tradition that I need to keep going.

Last year I used bribary to get Lachie and Brayden to pose the way I wanted them to (promising them some lollies if I could get a nice photo of the two of them). . . and that worked well.

This year, bribary was not needed for Lachie and Brayden as they were more than happy to pose for the photo when I explained that it was for our Christmas Cards. . . Riley however was too young for Bribary, and did not want to participate at all.

First, he did not like the Santa Hat on his head, and kept trying to pull it off. Fine, we don't need him with a Santa hat.
Second, he did not want to sit still, but wanted to grab the camera, so all of the shots had his hands stretched out.
Third, there was no way he was willing to sit on Lachie's lap for a group photo.

With this being one of the shot's I got it was not looking promising to keep up with my traditional family photo christmas card, however with some persistance and a little imagination I managed to get some photo's and create the 2007 Christmas Card . . . The finished product . . . (should be arriving in your mailbox this week) . . .

Merry Christmas . . . Love Mel & The Boys
