I finally spent a little time reading to figure out how to use our camera that I insisted upon getting last year. I'm still a novice and a ton that didn't come out, but here's my favorite so far. Thanks to my fellow bumpies that inspired me to try this! Would love to see your babies if you took any pictures this weekend.
This is our first attempt with Santa at Barnes & Noble. It was free and I was able to take the pictures. DD skipped her nap, so hoping the real thing goes better than this.

Adorable! I really want to try to lights as you did in your first one yet this year
Here are the light ones we did last weekend:
And our Santa pic:
I've been wanting to try both the twinkle lights in the background and playing with the lights...probably won't get around to it until later this week, partially because I want him dressed in the sweater vest my grandma made him (and I still need to find a white collared shirt to go under it).
But everyone, super cute...love the Santa pictures. (We will be getting some of those when my boss dresses up as Santa for his Christmas party.)
DS didn't know about Santa at first either. What helped him was that we had the time to get him used to Santa before we put him in his lap. He watched his playdate buddy who was doing better with Santa, so that helped too.
I already posted my Christmas pictures in the Christmas Card post. No twinkle lights though. Those pictures are cute.
Awe, your twinkle lights worked out great!! Here's our first visit with Santa. I got the terrified pictures I had longed for since before he was born haha!
This Santa picture looks like it's out of a book. Simply perfect!
The lights keep them distracted. Just have someone close to grab the lights if they put them in their mouth. We were also able to put a santa hat on her without her taking it off, because the lights were so distracting.
We did this a few weeks ago and it was pretty easy. The hardest part is catching them when they aren't moving their hands.
