Krueger Family at Mentryville

I photographed the Krueger Family this year at Mentryville up at the end of Pico Canyon on S. We did a formal studio session last year and next year they want to try the beach. Location shoots are always fun and if you are wanting to start a tradition, I say, each year find a new and completely different location so your friends, family, and clients who receive your holiday cards will look forward to your to see where you went this year. There are so many options in So Cal. Here are some thoughts: Do a fun city shot in Old Town Pasadena complete with mittens, scarves, and some hot cocoa. Go Christmas tree shopping, you know, one of the cut-it-down-yourself places, and bring the photographer along. Have the photographer come to your Christmas tree decorating party (just your family, of course). Think out side the box and you will be surprised at how many things you can think of. If you know of a great location or a fun idea, I would love to hear about it in the comment section of this post!
