It's a great tradition; to capture your family in a photograph each Christmas. So, set aside are the "Summer Action!" shots, "Messy & Funny Faced Smile" shots and "Bath time-Bubble" shots in place of the Christmas "Our-Beautiful-Family" shot. So, yes, it's a great tradition. But, it never goes as planned.


I declare this my (unofficial) Family Christmas photo. There are no children. They have already fleeted the scene. The moment though still exists. The Christmas dress is hanging, the felt Christmas tree is tilting, and the winter scene rocking chair is still swinging. The children are so quick that by the time the shutter changed they are just out of the frame. So even though this, and a hundred other shots, did not go as planned it's still perfectly captures the family.
