Merry Times this Christmas Season

Every year we have a Christmas party and invite all of our past and present clients as a thanks for allowing us to be part of your lives.  Every year we have so much fun and this year was no exception!  Thanks so much to everyone who joined us.  We enjoyed a yummy holiday dinner from Catering by the Family.  There were Christmas crafts and activities for the kids.  Santa even came by and took pictures with everyone!  Before he left he read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas and lead a sing-a-long of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  We had a terrific time and felt the Christmas spirit as we celebrated the season with everyone.  Merry Christmas!

The instructions on this tree say it can grow to be 40-80 feet tall!  We are going to try to plant it and see what happens:

We had elves helping the kids with coloring pages, letters to Santa, and other Christmas crafts such as picture frames and ornaments:

Every year the hot chocolate station is a huge hit!  We have whipped cream, marshmallows, and chocolate chips as toppings:

I didn’t do my Christmas baking yet but the desserts from the store were still yummy:

Balloon twisting and face painting!

Instead of reindeer and Christmas trees, the boys asked for lightsabers and swords:

Santa arrives!  The kids looked so amazed and excited:

Darth Maul meets Luke Skywalker:

As my friend Wendy said, nothing says Christmas like Darth Maul!

A pretty elf with her elf hat:

Yummy (and messy!) food:

The Darth Mauls and their lightsabers:

Pictures with Santa are always a blast!  Some kids are really happy to be with Santa, some are really NOT happy, and some could care less:)  Here are some smiles to start off with:

Just hanging with Santa:

And then the classic Santa crying pictures!  In this one, I love how she is checking him out and not liking what she sees:

Bet you can’t guess where her mom is standing:

1 out of 2 isn’t too bad!

Matching Santa hats:

Santa and Rudolph:

Santa isn’t just for kids!

Santa reading “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” to the kids:

When the story was done, this little girl walked up to Santa and asked him to read it to her again.  So sweet!

Thanks again to everyone who joined us, and Merry Christmas!

One Month Portrait Session for Michele’s Daughter

Michele brought her baby girl over for one month pictures and some Christmas pictures too.  She was such a sweet little baby!  Her expressions were really cute too.  The ruffly Santa bloomers Michele brought for her were adorable!  Jason enjoyed meeting them and is excited to see Michele’s daughter again at her next session!

Family Session in Tampa: Kristy, BJ, and Their Daughter

Jason photographed Kristy and BJ’s wedding two years ago and now they have a 6 month old baby girl!  Jason met with them in Tampa for a Christmas session.  Their little girl is absolutely beautiful!  They are a wonderful family and we are very happy for them.  Kristy and BJ, thanks for coming to Tampa for the session.  Jason hopes to see all of you again soon!

Our Annual Christmas Party in Appreciation of Our Clients!

With the help and generosity of all who participated, we were able to give back to the community through a successful food drive.  Now that we’ve given something back to the community, it is time for us to give back to all of our amazing clients, past and present!  It is the annual Jason Angelini Photography Christmas party!  Just like last year and the year before, Santa will be at the party for pictures too.  All of our past and present clients are welcome, but be sure to RSVP right away because once we reach the number of our max occupancy we will no longer be able to take any more RSVPs.  Details are in the invite below.  Hope to see you there!

Food Drive Mini Holiday Session Winners!

For our annual food drive we asked people to email bids of how many food items they would donate and the top bidders won a mini holiday session with the disc of images.  We are so grateful to all of the winning couples and families who donated an incredible amount of food to make our food drive a huge success this year!  We collected just over 1300 food items to be donated to our local food pantry!!

The mini holiday sessions were lots of fun.  We had puppies, babies, kids, and families at a nearby park and at our home studio.  The discs will be in the mail for all of the mini sessions this week!  Thank you again!
