Christmas Card Outtakes

You might remember last year's attempt at Christmas card pictures. It was nothing short of a circus! We ended up retaking them with the camera on a tri-pod in the back yard and it was just as much of a circus the second time around, but we just went with it and gave all our friends and family a laugh.

This year started off no different, except I bribed my brother to be our photographer when we were at my parent's house last week. 90% of the pictures are blurry and I have no idea what he was focusing on, but he did manage to catch a couple that will hopefully make this year's card a step up from last year.

Here are some of the outtakes. Chris was just as thrilled about this process as my brother was and the dogs were their normal well behaved, picture-taking selves (cough, cough).

  1. You two are so cute!! I can only imagine how difficult it is to get two dogs to pose nicely for a picture... One is hard enough!

  2. Cute family! Dogs are like kids--super hard to photograph. We've included "blooper" photos on our cards in the past, and people always compliment those for showing what real life looks like!

  5. LOL! Outtakes are THE best! And you guys look pretty spiffy in your outfits :) I'm hoping that Santa has read my list and checked it twice for the new lens I put at the top of it, so next year we can take our own Christmas card photos too. ;)
