Christas portrait

Okay, so I have avoided being "in front" of the camera...but my sweet wife and I had a "photo moment" in front of the tree Christmas morning! (getting fast enough to beat the timer was difficult...it was set for 5 seconds. NOW it is set for 10 seconds...I don't guess I move as quickly as I used to :- )

My grandson who is 6 is helping me comment on pics today. He said what he likes about your picture is both of your glasses. He himself wears glasses 😀

Indeed - great to see happy faces and to get the photographer in front of the lens - looks like a good time was being had

Very nice to meet you two! A lovely portrait to post for Christmas 2015. Nice lighting and a wonderful background. 10 seconds is a definite necessity!

Very nice Gary! So good to meet you! I am rarely in front of the camera - much prefer to be behind it :) But when I have to get in I do use the 10 second option.
