Christmas Eve

 

It's so close to Christmas, and if you have little children around,

I know that there is plenty of excitement in the air!

I want to share some photos I took last year and posted for Christmas Eve.

 

 

The idea for  this next series of portraits came in a vision

that popped into my mind when I found the Santa sack at Goodwill for 99-cents.

 

I have told you before that I get clear visions of what

a portrait should look like when I find certain clothing or props

at thrift stores.

 

These visions are very detailed and I feel COMPELLED to

re-enact them to a TEE.

 

In this vision, I clearly saw how the sack was laying on its side with gifts pouring out.

I also saw my son's old yellow Tonka dump truck next to the sack,

with a little boy staring up at Santa in awe.

 

I had this scene set up in my living room for a week worrying how

I would get the little 2-year-old to cooperate.

 

The day he arrived, he was having a crying tantrum.

 

 

I decided to stay calm and let my vision play out. 

I felt if I was given a vision, I would just have to trust it

would come to fruition.

 

I laid down on my belly on my family room floor and had my

camera set and ready to shoot.

 

I instructed the mother to stand on my hearth to the left of this photo.

I coached the dad to place the child in front of the toys.

 

I then had the mother call his name so he would look up.

 

OH, MY LORD!!!!

 

The moment was perfection! 

CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!

 

I was having one of those tingling moments

when my vision plays out!!!

 

 

His mother told him to look in the sack for a treat.

 

Click! Click! Click!

 

 

The utter purity of these photos brings me to tears!

 

2-year-olds are absolutely PRECIOUS!

  

 

 

He had no idea that he had created magic.

 

He just wanted to play with the big yellow truck!

 

 

I hope you are having a magical holiday season!
