We don't make a photograph just with a camera, we bring to the act of photography all the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard, the people we have loved. - Ansel Adams
Awww so cute Cat! We're not getting photos this year Abby will NOT sit or stand or even go near Santa this year I was hoping one of my friends would dress up like santa for us, but he's said no . We'll probably end up with photos on Christmas daywith the whole family dressed in their santa shirts though so it's all good!
Yeah ej went through that no santa thing last year a bit - this year liked but no didnt want to sit on knee long lol
Hoper you can get a pic with Abby
thanks Cat, I hope so too!
you can get santa suits from the reject shop etc cheap also Kirsty get someone dress up as him?
Those eyes look like she's pleading "Mummy please don't leave me with this weird guy!"
Mine are too old for Santa now, but I remember when my youngest daughter was 4, taking her to see Santa who duly asked her what she would like for Christmas.
She stared back at him with her angelic blue eyes and calmly told him she'd like a Death Star please.
He looked at me aghast, but I just shrugged my shoulders and said "Well, you did ask!"
the death star would have been funny lol reminds me of this article
Actually there was a few teenagers there seeing santa also
Ahhh, it's the classic thing of two and three year olds being petrified of Santa.
I worked as a Santa photographer in 2007 and 2008, and it was always 2 and 3 year olds that would not have a bar of it. Any younger and they are fine, and once they hit four or five, they're raving about seeing Santa.

Helpful & Honest Critique/Advice appreciated
...and not just of Santa, either. I spent a good deal of time comforting a 3-y-o lad at a recent 1st birthday party when the Cookie Monster and Elmo turned up. He and a 2-y-o were petrified beyond belief. Didn't help when CM was being all touchy-feely and in the face of these children who were obviously scared.

And yes he did bark once, and yes it echoed through the whole center!!!!!
