Collins family Christmas
For the third year now, Collins family has requested my services for their Christmas card pictures.
Every year it becomes a bigger challenge. This year the whole family was involved. Bob and Lisa started working on the ideas back in July. Heck, they have already started working on next year =) The kids Heather, Melissa, Bobby, Stephanie and Andrew really get into it and get in the mind frame, plus costumes. Bob and Lisa start early collecting and borrowing what they need for props.
It’s always fun and I love how they let me go and get creative. Lisa mentioned that just recently a card recipient of last year just noticed some things in 2010’s card. It has gotten to the point that family friends look forward to getting the card to see what crazy things they came up with. It’s always a big secret hahaha. This year’s card is no exception. I’m thinking of getting a print for my portfolio. This can only really be appreciated in an 11×14 print. We discussed next year’s photo and it sounds like another winner!
I had to wait two weeks before I made this post. This gave everyone a chance to receive their card first, before I posted the picture.
Here is this year’s card picture and some behind the scenes photos. Oh, Bob really doesn’t have a Mullet =)
