The day after Lauren visited Santa, she got to see another version of the jolly ol' fellow when we took the dogs to visit him as a fundraiser for our local SPCA. We've taken them every year and I've been very happy with the outcome. Don't get me wrong, it's not easy to get the pups to "pose" in this environment and throwing Lauren into the mix makes adds another level of detail, but we've still managed to come out with some decent shots over the last few years. In years past, the photographer has been the same man - he had a nice camera, was setup with some equipment like an umbrella, and really tried to get great photos spending plenty of time with us - and he seemed to enjoy his job - all of which made for better quality photographs! This year, however, was a different story. There was a woman photographer with a simple point and shoot camera who seemed to have little interest in what she was doing :( The coloring of the photos is dull, she didn't compose any of the shots well, and just snapped a few pictures and then went back to chatting with some of the helpers. I know these are all volunteers, but I do donate a hefty sum each year and was very disappointed this time. Next year, I think I will take my own camera as a backup!

The first one of Lauren and Santa is great. The second one of the dogs with Santa and Lauren is good, too - way better than I've ever managed to get!
Cute pics of all your kids. I have nothing against point n shoot cameras, but I expect more when Santa pics are involved.
