Ah, the holidays. A great time to put my skills to the ultimate test and try to get a posed shot of my son for the holiday card. (I actually heard the collective groan of knowing photogra-moms.) Actually, i got a few, and after some LR tweaks and PS embellishments, here is the final.

Cute, huh? I love it! Now, anyway.
It wasn't always that way, because what you can't see in the one sweet but, despite the planning, lucky shot of my lovely boy is the multiple locations, 300+ 'other' shots and 3 hours of prepping, chasing, posing, reposing, begging, threatening, and bribing to get the shot for the holiday card. Yes, just what the holidays are about.
So, about the rest? Here is a collection of some that didn't make the cut

As much as i wanted to get the holiday card done I have to admit that my 'little' is so funny and such a ham, its always a good time to photograph him. And i must give the little guy props, he does go along with my photo antics, so all in all, i can not complain.
