As is usual not everything was going to plan, the backdrop of white was causing the flash to make the photo's too bright, so I hung this piece of Christmas fabric which usually covers up the bottom of the Christmas tree over the back to take away the glare.
I then had to add the Christmas tree shaped tin to hide where the end of the fabric is because it was not quite long enough !Also there is a cut in the fabric at that end which appears as a crease in the material.
The DH very kindly went and found the tripod which he set up and attached my camera to, so that I would not get the blurring on the photo's from camera shake, I confess I did still managed to get a couple with bad camera shake!! What can I say... It's a skill !!! :)
The babies decided that they all wanted to ride on the animal's so the poor reindeer and little polar bear suddenly found themselves with a plump little tyke on their backs !
Thankfully they did not squash them for too long and agreed to sit and still and have some more photo's taken.
I am really pleased with these photo's , the red holly leaf fabric makes a much nicer backdrop than the plain white. So that's another thing for the list, to search through the fabric's to find anything that may be suitable for future photo shoots and also to buy some proper backdrops.
Happy 2014!! Have I beaten Kendal......
ReplyDeleteHappy 2014 to you to! Kendal will be so pleased you have returned !!
DeleteYes! What a start to the New Year I have beaten K!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute post Dee...and NOT a GOTZ in sight...thank God:)
I'm sure I'll be having to Gotz ya ! quite soon :))
DeleteYES! I'm delighted to have SS-R back EVEN though she has beaten me to the commenting today!
ReplyDelete(I did check in earlier but no new post.)
Snap Dee! Yesterday I got out my DD sleepsuits so that when my local teacher/Sasha friend comes over she can hopefully help me change my 15 babies plus Bea (the babies who are BTW sadly still in their Summer clothing and shivering when the central heating's not running full blast!)
Then after some photos they can be re-dressed in their fleeces, tights and Winter clothing to keep warm until the arrival of the Spring..
Your three little tots look beautifully cosy. Really cute photos, great background and use of the tripod, no less!
That's a good idea you have there Kendal ! I could have Sasha dressing lunches , where I invite a friend or two to lunch and afterwards they could help me dress all the Sasha's, Gregor's and Babies!! My poor boys are still waiting to get into their 'Christmas' winter clothes!
DeleteA job I must try and do later today!!
Aww the babies look so cute in their cosy outfits and sitting on the animals....that Polar Bear is to die for! I keep looking at the babies and wondering if I should get one.....it's the sleepless nights I worry about! It's bad enough with the Chihuahuas keep getting me up at night!
ReplyDeleteI must give it some thought though as they're so sweet and cuddly looking.......oh decisions, decisions. Perhaps I should spend my Christmas money on a baby.
I know, I know, I keep saying I'll get one and then change my mind....the day's not over yet, I'll probably have either 'caved' by tonight, or changed my mind against one again!!! :)
Happy New Year, big hugs to All!
And it's lovely to have you back Ronny!
It's just another slippery slope Sharon!! Lol I never wanted a baby sasha but bought one and it's been an up and down slope ever since! But now I just have five... at the moment......:)
DeleteSharon is GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew you would cave in , in the end:)
DeleteAt least she won't give hers to the dog!!!! :)
DeleteI never realised I looked so pregnant....must start the darn diet soon then!
DeleteNo, I'd not give mine to the dog.....because then they'd all want one, and then it really would be a slippery slope with 5 dogs!!!!
Your babies look so sweet - possible candidate for next year's Christmas card?
ReplyDeleteI love the Polar bear, he's a perfect size. He looks like one of those ride on animals for babies.
I'm glad too that Ronny's back, the banter between you is always entertaining.
2014 has started well :)
Great minds think alike! :) I have saved a couple of these photo's at full size just in case I want them for a Christmas card plus Gill also emailed to say they would make good Christmas cards!!
DeleteI got the polar bear from my local garden centre they reduced them just before Christmas wished I bought the bigger one as well !!
Ronny and Moi! we barely chat :))
Dee is right there about 'barely chatting'...I can NEVER get a word in edgeways :) Lovely to be back, I have missed you guys, but saying that I managed to get so much done by not being on the computer so long every day :)
Delete:) May be you should have appointments with the computer! So you get things done , then go on for a few minutes... like anyone's only on for a few minutes!!! But at least you don't live on it like some! :0!!
DeleteSorry was you try to get a WORD in???? :)
Your "plump little tykes" are delightful! I love this post:)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteCan't wait to show these photos to my daughter. She got a baby for Christmas and has been sewing, knitting, and loving her every minute since Christmas morning.
ReplyDeleteI quite agree that these would be excellent candidates for next year's Christmas cards.
That's lovely that she as a Baby for Christmas.
DeleteSeems these would be popular as cards must remember !!
What lovely little babies they are - all dressed in clean, trendy Doodles clothing and not a dribble in sight. That poor reindeer looks as though he is in shock in the photo where baby is climbing on him but I'm sure all the snow-critters survived.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics,as always!
J xx
It did not last!! I'm sure that Reindeer is in shock having a plump little tyke like George climbing all over him!! At least he'll have eleven months to get over it!!! :)
DeleteLove your Albie....I'm a huge fan of Sylvia Natterer and her dolls. Their faces have such expression.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas babies are just too cute !.
Winnie
Thank you Winnie, I also like the Natterer's and am glad I now have Albie :)
