To All Who Have Wondered...


.... YES, we did capture magic on this photo, and YES this IS in fact Joey on our Christmas card photo (courtesy of Stroud Photography).

He wasn't necessarily "scared"of Santa, so much as he didn't really know what to think of him. He's never really been scared of anyone, thankfully. But we did have a hard time getting him interested. He missed a nap on the way to the studio and was hungry by the time he sat on Santa's lap, so he wasn't too interested in saying "Cheese."

We put a book in his lap and he went crazy telling Santa everything he saw on the pages, but we still could not get him to smile or look at the camera. Towards the end, the photographer said "you know, i just have a few left. Lets see what we can get out of these." And then we got it - this shot. It was the last picture she took, and I knew that it was magic.

Oddly enough, that day, he also took his first steps in the lounge/waiting area of the studio.
