It feels like yesterday that Sweet P was born and now she'll be SIX MONTHS on Friday!? You know what that means... yup, photoshoot! we're heading out to a local park to take P's six month photos as well as some family pictures for our holiday cards... that's right - holiday cards! This will be our third holiday card that we're sending out as a married couple and our first as parents so let's get real, I'm SO excited about pimping sweet p out.
so I've done things a bit backwards - I picked out a few cards that I like and we're in the midst of "styling" ourselves to fit the bill - fun, casual outfits, a little fall/plaid/relaxed, not so traditional... so of course, I turned to Shutterfly (check out their special offers page for some great deals!)
here are a few of the Shutterfly Holiday Cards that I have my eye on....
which one is your fave?
what is your holiday card style? traditional? modern?
any tips for getting babies to cooperate in family photo shoots
[please send me happy baby vibes on saturday afternoon]?
do you want to come over and pick out my outfit and do my hair and makeup?
are you over all of these questions?

Happy 6 months to your lil cutie! I think my favorite card the one that says "All things Wonderful." I really like the look that and the one above it have...modern, colorful, and fun.
ReplyDeleteTips for the photo shoot...besides trying to make sure she has napped, eaten, etc. I have to confess I can't really think of any :( I have three kids--a 5 year old, 4 year old, and 2 year old. I'm not kidding when I say I'm happy if I even manage to get all three to look at the camera at once! A lot of our pics are often "fails" lol.
Sending happy-baby-awesome-photo vibes...I'm sure they'll be great, and as you mentioned, so meaningful because it is the first Christmas card with baby. Yay!
I need to do a photo shoot with my 6 month old for cards too. This would help a lot!
ReplyDeleteYay!! Christmas cards..we are doing our family pictures next week for Christmas cards...I haven't decided which vibe we will go with this year! Good Luck with your baby cooperating..I have a 3 month old so I am keeping my fingers crossed also!
ReplyDeleteOh and I love the "oh what fun" design!
ReplyDeleteI am procrastinating our family photo shoot b/c I don't know what to wear or how to style the photos! I see all these cute ones of the models in the Christmas cards and I draw a blank! Good luck with yours this weekend. Sweet Penny is so adorable you won't need much luck for those photos. I love the "All of Our Love" style card. They really have great choices this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy 6 months Pen!! I am ordering our holiday cards soon - thanks for sharing you favorites, I may be stealing one! :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe Penny will be six months old already! Time flies!
ReplyDeleteOur holiday card pictures are scheduled for Saturday morning and I have no idea what we're wearing or even where we're taking them! eeek. I love the "Merry & Bright" card - so fun!
I love the First card!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the photo shoot. I know the pictures will be precious! I love the "all things wonderful" card. So cute!
