Finn Holiday Cards 2007 (December 1, 2007)

This year we tried something a little different on the Holiday Card front. We commissioned a series of portraits of the Finnster and then made many copies. Each Xmas recipient (and that may have been you) received a couple of the cards, but to find others in the series you had to get creative and peruse the mantles of other Finn friendly folks. Only the grand parents received full sets, but you can see below all six of the cards...if only in digital form.

The classic Finn in the snow portrait (from early 2007). This shot gets more difficult every year as Al Gore warms up the planet and we have no snow in Philly.

Tom and Finn around easter egg hunting time in 07. This was taken in Jay's front yard.

Finn on the beach. One of Tom's favorite shots of Finn (read ARTY) from the 2007 collection.

Jenny and Finn on the boardwalk in July of 2007. This one shows the festive Ocean City NJ board walk and Jenny performing a rare musical number. Note that if you don't know who Spenser, Gordon and Mighty Mac are, you really need to read more of this site.

A windswept Finn in the fall, no doubt at the playground now known as Play Park (thanks Dora).

This one was an actual attempt at a holiday card shot, late in 2007. Note the wintery theme PJs, the close up, the great natural light AND that we photoshopped out all the cuts on his face and the chocolate stain on his shirt. A clean winner.

Photography Notes

We got some great compliments for these from of all people the customers of Finn's day care. The staff had put a card up of him and the moms and dads kept asking who took the photos. I say self portrait.
