Baby, it's cold outside, here in Minnesota, but that doesn't mean that your family can't have a great holiday photo, even when one of your family is just that-- a baby.  Keen eyed viewers of this photo might recognize little Alexa, for whom I recently took newborn photos.  Her wonderful and creative mom, Jessica is a friend of mine and a graphic designer, expert crochet-er, baker, seamstress and all around creative expert.

We met on a beautiful, but snowy day at the gorgeous Silverwood Park, a new favorite of mine for photos in the chill of a Minnesota winter.  Because Alexa is still so little they only wanted interior shots, but the huge gorgeous fireplace made the perfect wintry setting for a Christmas card photo.

Aren't they the cutest family?


Of course, as a friend, she took some of us.  Look at that gorgeous wood!  This year we decided to go cheesy MN matching flannel for our holiday card.  It seems that we picked the perfect year for it with the absolutely Minnesotan way the weather has been behaving lately.  We certainly are living up to all of the stereotypes!
