Macdonald Family | Ideas for Christmas Family Photos

With all of the family in town for the first time in a while, the Macdonald family was looking forward to making some memories during their Christmas family photos in Little Compton. The extended family photoshoot was also going to be a birthday present for their mom. But they had a problem! The Little Compton photographer they had scheduled with was down with an illness and they were faced with a time crunch. After a lot of phone calls (on my side and theirs) we connected and made things work! There wasn’t enough time for a baby sitter, so I brought along my two little ladies and they did a great job!

I loved meeting this family because they were all so sweet and they had some fun ideas for Christmas family photos! Between the matching beanies and the beautiful indoor mocktail set up, the Macdonald family really turned these family portraits into something special. Since the rain held off, we managed to take some pictures outside which was a lot of fun. Dolly the beagle kept things interesting by popping in and out of pictures and occasionally attacking Campbell’s pantleg. It was a fun challenge trying to snap a quick serious picture of the two grandkids before Dolly came back for more chewing.
