Wizards in Winter

There are time when I complain about being busy....  but let's face facts.  No one is as busy as Santa this time of year.  Photo ops to create at every mall in the world, meeting a deadline for making all those toys with a work force of elves, all leading up to one big night of deliveries without Brown doing anything for him at all.  He truly has to be one of the Wizards in Winter to make this all happen.

All these demands on his time makes every visit a bit more special.  So when the 8 tiny reindeer brought the big guy to Pittston for a breakfast with the Home Depot staff and their families... I felt privileged to be asked to photograph the event.  Of course..... FotoFink has a bit more to say about things.....

Sure- Santa is great.... but the elf really makes or breaks the scene.

For the most part, kids love Santa.  For the most part.

It's not fair to have favorites....  I'm a parent too- I know that my kid's photos were always better than the others.  Still...  Can this kid work that hat or what?

Love it when Santa brings out the kid in all of us.

Giving back to Santa.  This girl gets it.

Proof of Santa's magic, Part 1-  This girl goes from scared to happy in the lap in no time.

Part 2- this happy couple becomes this engaged couple.  Need a wedding photographer?

Best line of the day.... "Would you like to sit on Santa's lap?"   Look of disgust.....  "I'm THIRTEEN"  We were also informed that she is amazing.  Good to know.

Another gift for Santa.... LOVE these kids!

Nice to see that the Grinch and Santa have worked things out.  Apparently, three sizes were enough.

Some shameless marketing....  There is still time to schedule a Christmas shoot.  Contact me at sfinkernagel@hotmail.com for details.... you can still have the coolest Christmas cards ever!

Enough from me..... here are some photos-
