Non-Perfect Pictures

So I was asked if I was ever going to post again, and I decided that I indeed would.... as soon as I got the "perfect" pictures. But then I reconsidered based on the fact that it had been since the end of August and despite the massive amount of pictures I have taken in that time, I've come to accept the fact that I have an almost 2-year-old who is not yet capable of sitting perfectly still and smiling directly at the camera as I would like and therefore I will have very few "perfect" pictures. Not that I don't like other types of pictures and for me that's not what it's about anyway...

I cherish the pictures I do have, including the many that are blurry as he is almost always moving. I'm just thankful he has a cute profile since I seem to capture a lot of side views :). So in the spirit of non-perfect pictures, here's the attempt at Christmas-themed pictures. I figured by starting early I could get a handful of photo shoots in before the month was over!


The suit I got on clearance for $6.24 at the end of last season. I remember how excited I was when I got it and then thinking how long it would be before he could actually wear it!

Mason's "fancy shoes" as he calls them, which I picked up at a garage sale this summer.

New Christmas vest from Grandpa and Grandma!

He's actually just pretending to take a nap.

He has a lot of hair.... and right now he always has a lot of static going on. I apologize in advance if he accidentally shocks you or your kiddos!

He attempted to say "poinsettia". His version had the right number of syllables... just not in the right order :).

Static in the hair clearly visible!

He's still learning that I will continue to take pictures even if he attempts to hide.




Enjoying a mouthful of dried apricot, his photo shoot treat. We later noted that he may have had a bit too much :).

Singing... the lobby in Daddy's office has wonderful echoing capabilities.




I really enjoy taking pictures, so regardless of the outcome I'm just glad to be able to capture each age and stage! We hope you are your family are enjoying this special time of year and wish you an early very Merry Christmas!
