Amy,

I agree, this is sooooooo cute! I love the background and how everything works so well together. Wonderful!!! #992669

Amy M. Parish December 22, 2004

Thanks! I love this too, but unfortunately I think his mum is going to pass on this one and order more traditional pics....oh well, at least we can all enjoy it! #992746

Peggy Wolff December 23, 2004

Isn't that how it always works Amy?! You get these adorable, out of the ordinary photos and the parents choose the photo that is common. Oh well. This is sooooooo cute! I love the shot! #993219

Lisa Deaton December 23, 2004

Amy, wonderful photo!!! I can tell you I would have ordered this one. I was always the Mom who ordered the shots of the kids interacting or not smiling or something other than the traditional. This is so so cute!! Great capture!! #994056

Michelle B. Prince December 24, 2004

Hey, I love this photo. By chance do you use a strobe light. I have the same camera and just got a strobe light from Alien Bees for Christmas. I can't figure out how to connect the sync cord to my camera. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. #995221

Amy M. Parish December 24, 2004

Michelle-I use floods---I am wanting an Alien Bee light, do they not work with the rebels???? That would be a bummer! I've been counting on getting one! #995362

Lisa Deaton December 25, 2004

Hey there, I don't want to intrude on this thread, but wanted to respond to Michelle's question about the sync cord. I don't have a Rebel, but I bet you have somewhere to plug in the sync cord to your camera. If by chance you don't, Alien Bees sells a sync cord adapter that fits onto your hotshoe of your camera. I think it is about 14 bucks. I just got two Alien bees for Christmas and so far I'm having a great time with them.

Sorry Amy for intruding on your thread to comment on the question. You know I love this photo!!! :)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! #996050

Michelle B. Prince December 26, 2004

Thanks so much. I do have to get the adapter. Amy, good luck with the contest, this is my favorite Christmas photo. Keep it and I bet the mom will order it later. #996597

Amy M. Parish January 20, 2005

Thanks so much everyone! I am just a little surprised to see this here this morning! I think there was a mix up with my name and Janet's names, I am sure they will fix that.

Dolores--this backdrop is from Backdropoutlet.com--sometimes they run these specials where you pick a color, and thy grab whatever drops they have in that color group. Anyway, I have enjoyed it, I use it a lot.
