How to get a 1 yr old to pose for a Holiday Card & 1 Creative Dad-Photographer

The Answer? You don't.  After a few days and a few hundred photos, I gave up on the thought that I would be able to get a smiling, non-moving picture of my crazy Cecilia.  But thats ok. As frustrating as the mini-photoshoots may have seemed, I know I will look back at this years card and laugh.  I definately love this spunky, adventurous age that I'm sure will go by too fast!

Speaking of photography, I have had this article bookmarked for quite a while, but figured it would be fun to share, especially this time of year.  Have you seen Jason Lee's photographs of his two girls? So creative and fun!!  Here are a few of my favorites from the set:

You can read more about Jason and his photographs from an interview he did over at Alice's blog.

If I knew anything about Photoshop I would totally try to do something similar to this picture of Ceci.  Totally cute, but horribly messy, mid-playtime background!
