I know we've not posted here in a while, but I thought I'd post a single photo and say Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings to the people that peruse this section of the forum.

We have a tradition of getting some candid nudes in front of our tree every year. Sometimes they get taken after the new year before we've undecorated, but we're pretty good about not missing. This year it's been hard to get any private time at our home because we've had constant guests and most of our children have come back for the holidays. So, when we got the opportunity, we went to a friend's home and shot with their tree. They also take boudoir images and we made a fun evening of sharing a meal and then taking a few quick holiday images.

I didn't drag any equipment over, just my camera and a mounted flash, but these images are more about keeping our tradition than trying to impress anyone. This photo, I think, was one of the nicer images that we captured.

As some of you know, I came very close to losing my muse to cancer. This marks the 2nd Christmas that has been a gift beyond the time she was told she would have on this earth. She just turned 49 and we try to remember that every day is truly a gift that should be savored and enjoyed.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
