This year I hosted my Christmas Holiday mini sessions outdoors and opened them up to the whole immediate family.  I was very lucky to be privy to a private location to provide a variety of set ups to my clients.  And we were so lucky to have such wonderful weather on the days the mini sessions were held.
All of the children were so wonderful, just tugging at my motherly instincts to scoop them up and give them big solid hugs! In fact, the kids were so good, it was the parents that were harder to pay attention and shoot! (haha, just kidding moms and dads!).
