How to photograph a Christmas elf

We woke up this morning, rather suddenly, to some projectile spit up (which didn't seem to phase Eve one bit).  This led to an emergency bath, and Steve and I thought, well shucks, since she's clean, let's take the Christmas card picture!   This outfit was used for me for my first Christmas . . . and my parents have pictures to prove it.  

Here is a link to the complete series of our attempt.  Page through quickly for the full effect of a squirming infant.

How To Photograph A Christmas Elf series is here


We did manage to get a decent shot that we'll include in our holiday letter (next week's project):



As I write, baby's first snowstorm is revving up and Eve is sleeping on my chest.  We're hunkering down for an expected 8" over the next 24 hours.  Steve and I couldn't ask for a cozier home or a sweeter baby.

    Wow, you got her with both eyes open facing the camera against a light background...might as well use this for her passport picture. Oh, wait, there's head garb...maybe get a religious exemption for that? ;-)
