As I have experimented more this month with the photo textures and veils from Love That Shot, I wondered which of the images I should share with you as my monthly photo recipe. I've used the textures on numerous portraits for clients, but I decided to do something a little different this month.
We recently woke up to find a heavy frost covering everything outside. It's breathtaking! I know I was not alone when I decided to brave the cold and take the camera outside to have a little fun. While I was out there, I couldn't help but marvel over the beauty and wonder of this world we live in. The frost was so intricate and unique that I wanted to photograph every tiny little flake of ice.

This time of year is spent in a mad rush to obtain the perfect gift for everyone on our list. Friends, family, children, parents, grandparents, neighbors, teachers, mentors...the list goes on and on. Somehow Christmas has become all about the gifts we give and receive. But how many of us remember the origin of this tradition? The first gift of Christmas? No...it wasn't a bell off Santa's sleigh. ;) The first gift of Christmas came from our Father in Heaven, the gift of his only begotten Son, even Jesus Christ! He gave his son to atone for our sins. That is the true gift of Christmas, and the reason we celebrate this time of year. |

I am so grateful for all I have been blessed with this year. My family is happy and healthy, we are warm and safe and lack nothing we need. And my little hobby has turned into a full-fledged business that continues to grow and improve. I could not be where I am without all the awesome clients who have now become my friends. I am so grateful that I have been forced to overcome my natural shyness to meet so many amazing people and to get to know their children. My thanks goes out to each of you for your support and friendship. May your Christmas be merry and bright!
To share my thanks, I have created a fun little printable that can be used however you wish. Wouldn't this make an awesome Christmas card? This is my first time sharing a downloadable image, so let me know if something doesn't work. Merry Christmas!
