The Official 2011 Santa Shot



What's Christmas time without the traditional mall Santa picture?  The first year that we took her was just after she turned one.  We went to Macy's and she sat on Santa's lap and reached up to touch his beard in wonderment as the camera captured the moment.  Last year and this year she has the exact same deadpan expression, which I find pretty hilarious.  She was all excited about going to see Santa and we talked about her sitting on his lap for a picture, but when we got within 50 feet she stopped in her tracks and covered her face with both hands.  She never cried and she went through with it, but she didn't have it in her to crack a smile....until the picture was done and I was paying for it, then she was deep in conversation with Santa and smiling about it.  A little tip?  While it is tempting to put your daughter in a traditional red holiday dress, it doesn't pop as well when photographed with Santa, dark colors are your best bet!  ;)
