Oh Christmas Tree

By

I use to be very picky about how my tree was to be decorated.  I would spend weeks looking for just the right ornaments and would always have some sort of theme for my tree.  Now that I have kids, that no longer is the case. Instead, there are homemade ornaments made my tiny hands from years past and special ones given to me by friends over the years.  I love them all and I love to photograph them.  However, that’s not always so easy.  Many come out blurry or they are overexposed or underexposed.  It’s taken me awhile, but if I take my time and do it right, I get some pretty good shots.

If you’ve tried to take photos of your ornaments but it’s just not working for you, Me Ra Koh shares a great, step-by-step tutorial on her blog that is extremely helpful.  Give it a shot and share with us.  We’d love to see the ornaments that make you smile.

  6. Our tree DOES have a theme. We’re a fire(fighter) family and, as such, we’ve decided that our tree will reflect that since many gifts over the years have been firefighter related. Our whole tree is here: http://stopdropandblog.com/2009/11/29/weekend-outtakes-fire-tree/

    Here is my favorite, Santa as a firefighter:

    The boys already have a tiny tree in my oldest son’s room. I think we’ll eventually be like my parents and have another full sized tree somewhere downstairs so that we can have an un-themed, everyone’s decorations tree.
