There’s the Christmas card photo, and then there’s what it took to get the Christmas card photo. A quick shoot, one afternoon post-school … probably not the best idea.
How NOT to take your Christmas card photo by The Party Teacher

Mommy: Girls! Miss Lissette will be here at 3:30 to take your photos. You need to run upstairs and take your showers.
M+G: But we’re not dirty!
Mommy: We’re having your picture made, so you’re taking a shower.
M+G: But we’re hungry.
Mommy: Grab a snack and eat it on your way upstairs.
M+G: But we can’t eat in the shower!
Mommy: Eat quickly.

(Later…)
M+G: But I don’t want my hair dried. Can’t it dry naturally?
Mommy: No, not for the photo. And you need to brush your teeth.
M+G: BRUSH OUR TEETH?!
Mommy: Yes, so your teeth will look pretty and white. Wait–why are your teeth orange? Never mind. Miss Lissette can edit it.

(At the location…)
Mommy: Now we have to hurry and listen to Miss Lissette because it’s starting to rain. Please. Please act like you like each other.
M+G: She’s PULLING ON MY ARM.
Mommy: OK. Just don’t touch each other. Wait–I forgot the chair!

(Don drives the chair to the rescue…)
Mommy: Meg, knees together. Sit up straight. Grace, please smile. Please.
M+G: Can we be DONE?

See that look in Baby B’s eye? That’s when we knew the shoot was over.
