Toddler & Baby Christmas Photos

I decided to take the girls Christmas photos in front of my DIY Fireplace. You can check out how I created my fireplace from diaper boxes at my Christmas Fireplace & Crafts post. You can also see how I made my Charlie Brown Christmas Tree there, it is in a few of these pictures.

She’s such a toddler… all over the place! I tried to get her to stay still, but I guess only Jesus can calm the Storm! I dressed her in a red velvet Santa dress and curled her hair a bit. She is also wearing her red earrings from this multicolored earring pack that I got for her a while back. We like these screw on earring backings for babies and toddlers.

Such a sweet 9 month old… She is much more relaxed than the Storm was, but she still wants to move about since it is a new thing for her. I love how she put her toes together and her hands behind her head. She was just wearing a red and white striped diaper cover and a baby sized Santa hat. I found a red basket at a thrift store and glued on the white batting and black Santa belt. I just added a blanket in the basket to make it a bit more comfortable for her.

This was a very challenging photoshoot with a 2 year old and and 9 month old. They just want to move and move so much, and the baby is new to sitting up on her own.

Christmas Fireside Family Photos

Merry Christmas!

Lots of teens and tots in our family photo this year! The toughest part of family time these days, is matching the schedule of these kids going every which way. They are all involved in so many activities, I am sososososo proud of them all.

I set up my props in the backyard by our firepit and picnic table. I used vintage sleds, firewood, checkered tablecloth, my son’s guitar, and some evergreenery. We all dressed in denim, red, and black. I also tried to add as much red and black gingham that I could.

The Tots

These girls did very well for being so young. I had this vintage baby sled that I had found at a garage sale a while back. It fit well with my red, wooden, vintage fireside Christmas scene.

I also place a couple artificial Christmas trees because we don’t have real evergreens in this part of our yard. My dad will collect these after Christmas on the curb in his neighborhood.

The Picnic Table

Our picnic table became the center of our photos despite my efforts to include all of the props that I set out and the fireplace.

The Tree

The big kids leaned against the tree by the woodpile for some of our photos.

The Guitar

I love that he plays guitar and enjoys music so much. He enjoys playing for fun, but also gets to play his bass in church on Sunday mornings.

The Storm

She is so beautiful and loved sitting in this little seat at the woodpile. She wore her little red and black checkered jacket and canvas shoes.

Merry Christmas to all!

4 Month December Christmas Baby Photos

Baby is 4 months old for her first Christmas. My oldest son was super sweet to amuse his mom and dress up like Santa for a few pictures!

I absolutely lover her sweet smile! I found this re bucket at Goodwill along with a belt, so I glued it on and added some white fluff too!

“How the Grinch Stole Christmas”

My son had a “Candy Cane Dress Up Day” at school today, so he agreed to take a photo with Baby in her Santa dress!

Looking at the ornaments on the Christmas tree.

Playing with the lights was her favorite… I just had to keep her from eating them!

She hates being on her stomach, so she cried for most of these shots! But I LOVE the way they turned out!

“T’was the Night Before Christmas”

She tried to hold onto the ornaments, but had a difficult time commanding her hands to cooperate!

My little Santa Baby!

Baby Christmas Portraits

I like taking pictures of Baby J (13 months old), and I love Christmas too. J was such a good baby, he didn’t touch the tree when we taught him not to; but he did love playing with the ornaments when we gave him one.

He was just a month old for his first Christmas, so this year so much more fun with him.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… I love preparing for Christmas, and I usually start my planning a few months before. I’ll use some of these photos in my Christmas cards and defiantly include them in my scrapbooks.
