Ford Family Christmas Card 2009 \\ Personal

I can't remember the last time my family sent out a Christmas card. After some inspiration from some photographers that I follow, I came up with this idea. I literally was making it up as I was explaining it to my family. They loved the idea and I immediately got to work on making my idea a reality. Anyway, here is the Ford Family Christmas Card for 2009. Let me know what you think.

Oh and of course... MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This first picture is the front of the card.

And this is the inside.

Please tell me you get it.

Gingerbread \\ Personal

A few weeks back Katie and I put our creative spirits together and did our best to make some gingerbread cookies. I'm glad I had my camera with me because I am quite proud of some of these cookies. We had a blast making them and I thoroughly enjoyed eating them. I think Katie ate two of them, maybe. I took care of the rest.

Above: My personal favorite. It's a pineapple!

Above: This is my favorite picture of Katie right now. Look at those eyes!

Above: My mustache cookie wouldn't stay. I've got a real one so... no big deal.

From McDonalds \\ Personal

The following photos were taking at McDonalds. It's amazing what fun you can have when you have willing participants and a camera.

I got some awesome shots over the weekend with YouthQuest while we were in Raleigh. Here's a few. I posted almost all of them on Facebook and you can see some of them at my LibertyU.com blog too.

Natty \\ Portrait

I spent last week at home in MD with my family for Thanksgiving. We had some family friends over one night and they just recently adopted a boy from Ethiopia. His name is Nathaniel, but everyone just calls him Natty.

This kid is hilarious. He's so curious and loves to explore. He discovered my cell phone and thought it was the coolest thing.

I grabbed my camera because I had been itching to take some pics (it's been a while). He also loved the camera and wanted to see every single picture right after I took it, as do most kids.
