Santa Or Elf? Either Way He's Cute!

The studio lighting that i got has been a joy to me since. I love shooting pictures with my two rugrats with it and although they don't really strike a pose for me, still i get good shots of them. Yesterday during when the big brother is at school, i took some snaps of my little potato since i didn't put the studio lighting away yet. Like usual, the little one didn't pose for me, but i got some beautiful and silly looking shots of him! I was having hard time to have him look at me. But look at these photos i got of him below! He is just so cute to not to be noticed! Of course he is my little one, i love my own, like always :D

Two Little Santa

Really the Christmas is just around the corner. I took some snaps of my two boys yesterday with my studio lighting but i became frustrated for they can't just strike a pose for me and be done with it. They were whining and complaining that it is hard for them to stay still in one place.

Well, anyway, although they were fussy, i was still able to get some good shots. And i am very happy enough with it. Maybe i will try it again one more time some other day. Hubby is absolutely right, it might have been because the kids had a long trip and got tired of sitting all the time that's why they don't want to be sitting again for a little while and wanted to be moving around. Oh well, kids are always on the go anyway. But! I still love the snaps i got from them :) Here they are! :D

Our Christmas Tree At Night

Below is our Christmas tree that we just barely put up yesterday, and because i was so excited to show it to everybody, i took a snap of it right away and posted it on my facebook. Most of my friends liked it, like i do. A very simple Christmas tree, yet it looks elegant.

But, i just remembered to put the ribbons lastnight, and hubby helped me to wrapped it around the tree. This is the most beautiful Christmas tree i put up ever! The last few years, it wasn't that good because i let my first born child decorate it himself. As you can expect, kids love to have it colorful, the colorful the tree is, the beautiful it is in their eyes. But this year, i told him that it's mommy's turn to decide what to put on the tree so it'll look a lot nicer. He's a good kid and just agreed with me without a fuss or whining. So here's the final look of our tree, it's more beautiful at night, don't you think? hehe, love my own, i know :D

Our Beautiful Christmas Tree Is Up!

I finally got our Christmas tree up. It made me so mad lastnight because i already put it up and put the lights with it but unfortunately, the tree stand got broken. It's probably because it is already old, in fact the tree is a lot older than our kids. But the tree is still good, just the stand. I was so frustrated lastnight, could not even think what to do with the tree which is leaning on the couch.

Good thing there was some good friends who suggested what to do. They gave me excellent ideas on how to put up a tree using an alternative tree stand. Luckily, we have an aluminum bucket and i filled it with big rocks and put the tree stand in it. And i am so happy that tree stood still. I told hubby about it to find me some rocks to fill the bucket but he was still snoring when i got up and decided to just do it by myself. So after i put up the tree with the help of my eldest, we then also put the orbs and some other decorations with it. And here's our beautiful Christmas tree now! It's combined with gold and silver color. A very simple Christmas tree, yet very elegant looking as well :D

Myself Inside the Gold Bulb

Christmas is fast approaching and my boys are both excited to open up their presents under the tree already. Speaking of Christmas tree, we put up ours already by the way right after we came home from our trip. Our Christmas tree last year was a mess so this year, i decided to just put things on my own with the help of my family by handing things to me. I thought that red and gold ornaments are beautiful together. So that's our theme for this year. After i got finished putting all the ornaments and the lights, i took some shots of it and took some close up pictures of myself inside the gold bulb. Before i had my camera, i have been wishing to capture some nice picture of me inside the bulbs hanging on the tree and finally now that i got my camera, i did it and it turned out perfect! I was using my macro lens on these pictures.
