The Netsell’s- Christmas 2011

The first weekend in December brought Tim and I to Woodstock, Illinois to photography my best friend’s parents for their Christmas cards. Tim and I had so much fun. Did you know that Woodstock, Illinois was where “Groundhog Day” was filmed starring Bill Murray? After photographing downtown that following night we watched the movie. Quite hilarious and heartwarming. Ah, the classics. Aaron, Lori and Parker (dog) were such a blast to photograph, and taught me some great lessons when it comes to photographing people.

I am playing catch up on Christmas Night. I had a glorious holiday. There was some heart ache as a beloved pet was hit by a car and passed away the night before Christmas Eve. He wasn’t even able to celebrate his first Christmas with our family, but within the sadness (if you are an animal lover you might understand the pain) we were still able to celebrate with family and bring in the season!

I titled this post because I did a shoot with a client that needs to be private, but I wanted to share at least this edited version of one of my favorite pictures I took on that day.

Some of the new things I learned on this shoot back on November 27, 2011 is how to use a reflector. My boyfriend Tim helped with that, and to use my new background stand that I purchased specifically for this shoot. All of her pictures turned out fantastic!
